Abstract

A hand-held video game controller includes a suitable conductor of heat, such as aluminum or copper, disposed on a surface of its hand grips. The heat conductor may be in the form of one or more metal plates at one or more locations on the surface of the hand grips. The metal plates may be perforated and/or may have any suitable shape to enhance cooling characteristics. The video game controller may also include a thermoelectric cooling (TEC) system or a liquid circulation system to enhance cooling, and may have a radiator for dissipating heat to outside of the video game controller.
