Tencent is authorized to patent the appearance of the game controller. Why do many netizens ridicule this product as a weird seam?

Tencent’s game controller patent picture is actually relatively good-looking.

When I saw this news, I thought it was quite normal, because Tencent often publishes news that appears to be plagiarized or stitched together. The originality ratio of their company is indeed relatively low, many designs and products are unique, and the products launched by other companies are similar.

In the domestic game market, Tencent is the largest game manufacturer, so to speak. In games, in addition to common gaming devices such as mobile phones and computers, the Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing, which everyone likes to play very much, are not games played using oil cakes, so the market for this is also relatively large. Big ones. And now a new game controller has been circulated on the Internet, and its manufacturer is Tencent Technology. At first glance, I think this product is quite cute, because it uses pink and white as the main colors, and the two buttons also use a relatively fresh color like yellow, so the entire handle looks girlish. And the sweet feeling, I think it is quite good. But a layman like me may not be able to tell what I like very much. Players who operate the game controller will see that this controller is similar to the controllers of some other manufacturers.

Plagiarism part

After looking at the schematics on the Internet, I think Tencent is not really suspected of plagiarism, because I think the handles are almost the same size. . Maybe it's because I don't play.

We can see from the patent drawing: Tencent’s game controller is very similar to Sony’s DualShock4 and DualSense in terms of touchpad design, and the key layout is exactly the same as the Switch Pro controller. In addition, the back of the controller The design is very similar to the Xbox Elite Controller! This new game controller is different from other controllers in details. It is indeed a unique patent and it just borrows some features from other controllers.
