Abstract
An adapter for use with a video game controller of a video game console includes a housing for attachment to the controller, a pair of lever switch mechanisms for operation by the left and right hand, and a console port. Each lever switch mechanism includes a contact switch and a lever. The contact switch is actuable between an open state and a closed state. The lever has a finger-engaging surface and an actuator portion. The lever is pivotable relative to the housing in response to a manual force applied to the finger-engaging surface, whereupon the actuator portion moves to actuate the contact switch between the open state and the closed state. The console port is operatively connected to the contact switch, and adapted to communicate electronic signals controlled by the contact switch to the game console to actuate a game function.
