ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a device and a method of supporting a game controller such as a steering wheel on different surfaces including a stable physical structure such as a desk or a table and the lap of the user. The game controller includes a convertible support mechanism that converts the game controller from a retracted, desktop position to an extended, sitting/lap position. In specific embodiments, the support mechanism includes left and right support members that are movable outwardly to the extended position for providing support on the user's lap and retractable inwardly into the retracted position for providing support on a desk or table top. The support members each include a support surface at a bottom thereof. The left and right support members in the extended position are configured to rest on the lap of a user in a lap mode by contacting legs of the user with the left support surface of the left support member and the right support surface of the right support member.
