Abstract
A processor receives a control signal indicative of the displacement value of a video game controller's actuator from a neutral position, determines the displacement value of the actuator based on the control signal, determines a scaled displacement value by multiplying the determined displacement value by a scaling factor (which may be set to null for some displacement values), generates a scaled control signal indicative of the scaled displacement value, and transmits the scaled control signal to a video game console. The invention may be used to correct for 'drift' phenomenon of the actuator (e.g., a directional control stick), or to generate a scaled control signal indicative of a scaled displacement value of the actuator, which is physically prevented by presence of a stop member that limits displacement of the actuator. Also, a stop member is provided for limiting displacement of a directional control stick of the video game controller.
