Abstract

At least two touchpads may be used to provide equivalent functionality to common game controls such as analog sticks, buttons, and directional pads, while occupying less space inside and outside of a device, among other benefits. The touchpads are depressible so as to give the user definite tactile feedback when using the touchpads for buttons, directional pads, or analog stick clicking. The touchpads may also feature indenting so various input regions can be felt. The touchpads may also be used in ways the aforementioned common controls cannot easily achieve.
