Abstract: An electronic controller includes a controller body having a head that adjoins a handle at a neck region, and that includes at least one thumb-operated control. The controller includes a hand retainer that in a closed position is configured to physically bias the user's palm against an outer surface of the handle. The hand retainer includes a resilient member that biases the hand retainer towards an open position. An adjustment mechanism couples the resilient member to the head and permits the resilient member to be adjusted betweena plurality of discrete positions to adjust the resilient member towards or away from the user's purlicue. The adjustment mechanism may include an anchor that is movable peripherally about the head between the plurality of discrete positions and is pivotably attached to the resilient member with a two-part fastener, with a friction member interposed between the resilient member and the anchor.

Abstract: A drop resistant controller is described. A control of the controller may include a cover, a circuit board disposed behind the cover and within a housing of the controller, and a switch mounted to the circuit board. The circuit board includes a cantilever portion, a main body portion, and a cutout defined in the circuit board between the cantilever portion and the main body portion. The switch is mounted to the circuit board on the cantilever portion and is configured to provide, to a processor(s), data indicative of an actuation of the control. Damage to the control, and/or to particular components thereof (e.g., the switch), is mitigated by the ability of the cantilever portion of the circuit board to flex under high-force impacts on the control.
