Abstract

The present invention relates to an input device for game machine. An input device for a game machine for inputting signals to a game machine using a computer, including: at least one control member projecting to the outside of a casing; a movement-transmitting member formed around the control member and operatively associated with the movement of an operating point of the control member, the movement-transmitting member being provided with a plurality of conductive elastic members; and a board provided in the casing and having formed thereon resistors corresponding to the conductive elastic members, the conductive elastic members changing the area of contact between the conductive elastic members and the resistors according to a direction of movement and a tilt angle of the operating point of the control member.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an input device for a game machine that enables a player to enjoy a realistic game in real time on the screen of the game machine using a computer by manipulating an operation element such as an operation key, an operation button, or an operation lever. Background technique [0002] In recent years, corresponding to the game software stored in advance in the computer device or inputted every time a game is played, various operating elements such as operation keys, operation buttons, and operation levers are operated by the player to display the game on the display screen. Game machines using computers (hereinafter simply referred to as game machines) are spreading rapidly. As software used in such a game machine, there are various software such as role-playing, speed racing, fighting, dialogue, creation, and raising. [0003] For example, in a general general-purpose computer, when storing or inputting game machine sof...
