Abstract:
A game pad holder for video games adapted to simulate a weapon, the holder has a mechanical force feedback device designed to simulate the recoil of the weapon at the moment of a trigger pressure during a game event, and the force feedback device includes: a casing in the form of a butt in physical contact with a zone of the body of the player, a firing pin forming a physical contact with the zone of the body of the player, and the firing pin is mounted mobile in the casing between: a folding position, and an advanced position to impact the zone of the body of the player. The device further includes a spring element, an actuator and an electronic management unit so that only pressure exerted on the firing pin the player allows to make the firing pin to pass from an advanced position to the folding position.
