Secondary controller for emulating a console controller
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a console connector of a secondary controller to connect the secondary controller to a console controller, wherein the secondary controller is configured to connect to a gaming console through the console controller;
an input interface coupled to the console connector, the input interface to generate an input signal in response to a user input at the secondary controller; and
an output interface coupled to the input interface, the output interface to receive the input signal from the input interface, to generate an output signal from the input signal, and to send the output signal to the gaming console through the console controller.

Abstract
An apparatus for emulating a console controller. The apparatus includes a console connector of a secondary controller, an input interface, and an output interface. The console connector of the secondary controller connects the secondary controller to a console controller. The secondary controller connects to a gaming console through the console controller. The input interface couples to the console connector. The input interface generates an input signal in response to a user input at the secondary controller. The output interface couples to the input interface. The output interface receives the input signal from the input interface, generates an output signal from the input signal, and sends the output signal to the gaming console through the console controller.
