Gaming audio control has just become a whole lot easier and more efficient with the new patent by Performance Designed Products. The company recently released a patent (US11712618B2) that promises to revolutionize the way we use audio in video games.
Performance Designed Products has developed a new type of video game controller. This controller is designed to detect when a headset is plugged in and then automatically adjust the audio accordingly. This way, gamers don't have to worry about manually adjusting the audio settings every time they plug in their headset.
The new controller is designed to send audio to the headset at a default volume, which can be adjusted using the controller's directional pad while pressing an audio control button. This makes it easy for gamers to quickly and easily adjust the audio settings to their liking.
The new controller also has multiple inputs, including buttons, thumbsticks, directional pads, and paddles. These inputs can be actuated (pressed, pivoted, pulled, etc.) to activate functions within the video game. For example, the directional pad could be used to adjust the volume of the audio or the buttons could be used to mute or unmute the audio.
What makes this controller truly unique is that it is configurable as both a video game controller with audio capabilities and a standard video game controller without audio capabilities. This makes it easy for gamers to switch between the two modes depending on their needs.
The new patent by Performance Designed Products could have a major impact on the gaming industry. As more and more gamers start to use the controller, it could lead to better audio control and more immersive gaming experiences.
Although this patent could potentially revolutionize the way we use audio in video games, there is no guarantee that it will ever come to market. Performance Designed Products has not yet released any details about the product, so it is unclear when or if it will be released.
In conclusion, the new patent by Performance Designed Products could be a game-changer in the gaming industry. If it is released as planned, gamers could enjoy better audio control and more immersive gaming experiences. However, there is no guarantee that it will ever come to market, so only time will tell.
