摘要： The invention provides an improved controller (110) for a games console. The invention is a games controller (110) that is intended to be held by a user in both hands in the same manner as a conventional controller (1). The controller of the invention (110) may comprise a plurality of controls (101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107A, 107B, 107C, 108, 109) on the front and top of the controller (110). The controller of the present invention (10) is advantageous as it additionally comprises at least one additional control (120, 122) located on the side walls of the controller (110) in a position to be operated by the index fingers of a user (12).

摘要： The invention provides an input apparatus (110) for a computer comprising an outer case (114) having a front face (F), a top face (T) and opposing side walls. The apparatus (110) comprises at least one control located on the top face (T) of the apparatus (110). The apparatus (110) is shaped to be held in both hands of a user such that the user's index fingers are positioned to operate the at least one control located on the top (T) of the apparatus (110). The at least one control comprising an actuator (101, 106), a first sensor (132), and a second sensor (130). The actuator (101, 106) comprises an actuator body (106B) and a detection target (134) mounted thereto. The actuator body (106B) extends through an opening in the outer case (114). The detection target (134) is detectable by the second sensor (130). The actuator (101, 106) comprises an actuator control mechanism (TC) having at least two configurations for controlling movement of the actuator (101, 106) relative to the outer case (114). The actuator control mechanism (TC) comprises a stopping block (136) moveable relative to the actuator body (106B) and has first face for activating the first sensor (132) in a first configuration and a second face for limiting travel of the actuator in a second configuration. The actuator control mechanism (TC) further comprises a selector for selecting a desired one of the at least two configurations.
