1. A hand-held controller, comprising:
- a controller body having a front and a back;
at least one thumb control disposed on the front of the controller body;
a cover removably coupled to the back of the controller body, the cover having a left portion and a right portion, the left portion having a top region and a bottom region, the right portion having a top region and a bottom region;
at least one compartment that is accessible by a removal of the cover;
a first force sensitive resistor (FSR) disposed within the compartment, the first FSR configured to sense a force applied to the top region of the left portion of the cover;
a second FSR disposed within the compartment, the second FSR configured to sense a force applied to the bottom region of the left portion of the cover;
a third FSR disposed within the compartment, the third FSR configured to sense a force applied to the top region of the right portion of the cover; and
a fourth FSR disposed within the compartment, the fourth FSR configured to sense a force applied to the bottom region of the right portion of the cover.

Abstract
A hand-held controller includes a controller body having a front and a back, with at least one thumb control on the front of the controller body. A back shell on the back of the controller body has left and right portions, each having top and bottom regions. A first force sensitive resistor (FSR) underlies the top region of the left portion of the back shell. A second FSR underlies the bottom region of the left portion of the back shell. A third FSR underlies the top region of the right portion of the back shell. A fourth FSR underlies the bottom region of the right portion of the back shell.

12. A controller, comprising:
-
a body having a front and a back; at least one control disposed on the front of the body; a shell disposed on the back of the body, the shell having a first area and a second area; a first force sensitive resistor (FSR) that underlies the first area of the shell, the first FSR configured to detect a force applied to the first area of the shell; and a second FSR that underlies the second area of the shell, the second FSR configured to detect a force applied to the second area of the shell. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
