Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a control key device used in a video game device or a portable electronic game device, and in particular, a direction keypad or a switch button keypad in the video game device or the portable electronic game device is attached for each application. Instead, it relates to a control key device that can be easily operated according to the application.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, directional keys and the like used in video game devices and portable electronic game devices have been assembled in the control key device body. When the keytop is pressed in one direction, Correspondingly, a conductive rubber contact electrically shorts the electrodes on the substrate to form a circuit.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The control key device used in the conventional video game device or portable electronic game device as described above is one in which a directional key or the like is assembled in the control key device body. The keypad was not designed to be easy to operate according to the application by changing the keypad for each application.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and a plurality of keypad fitting recesses are formed in the main body of the apparatus, and the keypad for the directional key is provided with respect to the keypad fitting recesses. Alternatively, the control key device is characterized in that the switch button keypad is configured to be detachable, and that the direction keypad or the switch button keypad can be attached to and detached from a plurality of keypad fitting recesses interchangeably. is there.

[0005]

[Action]

 According to the control key device of the present invention, the keypad for the direction key or the keypad for the switch button can be freely attached to and detached from the plurality of keypad fitting recesses provided in the main body of the device. Since the attachment / detachment of the directional key pad or switch button key pad to / from the recessed and recessed parts is compatible, the directional key pad or switch button key pad can be replaced for each application and operated according to the application. Can be made easier.

【Example】

 The configuration of the present invention will be described below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of a control key device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view for explaining a detached state of a keypad. A plurality of keypad fitting recesses 11 and 12 are formed in the main body 1 of the apparatus (two locations in the drawings of the embodiment), and the keypad 2 for a direction key or the switch button is formed with respect to the keypad fitting recesses 11 and 12. The keypad 3 is detachably configured.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the directional keypad 2 or the switch button keypad 3 removed from the device body 1 is fitted into the keypad fitting recesses 11 and 12 as indicated by arrows, respectively, as shown in FIG. As shown, the directional keypad 2 and the switch button keypad 3 are integrated with the main body of the apparatus, and the respective directional keytops 21 and switch buttons 31 can be operated.

A part of the directional key top 21 is exposed on the surface of the directional key pad 2, and the directional key top 21 is held by the directional key pad 2 so that it can be pressed. Similarly, a part of the switch button 31 is exposed on the surface of the switch button keypad 3, and the switch button 31 is also held by the switch button keypad 3 so that it can be pressed.

Between the substrate (not shown) housed in the apparatus main body 1 and the direction key top 21 and the switch button 31, conductive rubber contacts 13 and 13 are arranged corresponding to the pressed portions, respectively. . Therefore, when these pressing operations are performed, the conductive rubber contacts 13 and 13 arranged correspondingly below the electrodes electrically short-circuit the electrodes on the substrate to form a circuit.

Further, the direction keypad 2 or the switch button keypad 3 for the keypad fitting recesses 11 and 12 is detachable and compatible, and can be placed by exchanging them depending on the application or use conditions. Can be made.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention has the configuration described above, the directional keys are used depending on the application and use conditions, especially when moving the display character or the like in a video game device or a portable electronic game device or performing other switch operations. Since the keypad 2 for a switch or the keypad 3 for a switch button can be exchanged, there is an effect that the keypad 2 for a switch and the keypad 3 for a switch button can be dealt with according to the application and the usage conditions, and the operation can be easily performed.
