Abstract
A set of components is designed for use with proprietary game console controllers. The proprietary controllers include a first hand-held controller having a transmitter for wirelessly transmitting first control signals corresponding to user-input at the first controller to the game console. It also includes a socket. A second hand-held controller has a cable with a plug which would ordinarily be inserted into the socket of the first controller whereupon the first transmitter would hereinbefore relay second control signals corresponding to user-input at the second controller via the cable to the game console. The set of components “unties” the two controllers and includes a wireless receiver having a plug for insertion to the socket; a cradle for receiving the second controller and including a second transmitter having a second socket into which the plug of the cable is received. The second transmitter transmits the second control signals. The receiver is tuned to receive the second control signals and the first transmitter also transmits the second control signals to the game console.
