Abstract

In a general aspect, a handheld controller device includes a housing and a trigger assembly. The housing is configured to be held in the hands of a user. The trigger assembly includes a pair of triggers extending outward from a side of the handheld controller device and configured to move along respective trigger paths. The trigger assembly also includes a guide and coupling assemblies. The guide assembly is disposed inside the housing and includes, for each trigger, a channel that extends at least partially along the trigger path of the trigger. The coupling assembly is disposed inside the housing and is connected to the pair of triggers. The coupling assembly is configured to transfer motion between the pair of triggers such that, when one trigger moves towards the housing along its respective trigger path, the coupling assembly moves the other trigger away from the housing along its trigger path.
