ABSTRACT:
A computer game controller is provided that can be attached to a desktop having a lip of greater thickness located near an outer portion of the desktop and an underside surface located on an inner portion of the desktop. The lip has a substantially greater thickness than the remainder of the desktop and this poses a substantial challenge to the proper gripping and mechanical advantage required by a clamp device. In one embodiment of the present device, the present computer controller includes a housing with a substantially flat, planar bottom surface that will act as one side of the clamp. The controller has a clamp arm coupled to the housing so that a distal contact surface of the arm is substantially opposed to the bottom surface of the housing to operably compress a portion of a desktop therebetween. The arm is designed to have a length sufficient to allow the distal contact surface of the arm to reach the underside surface of the desktop, thus allowing the arm to grip a portion of the desktop located beyond the lip. Gripping an inner portion of the desktop allows the arm to increase its mechanical advantage in securing the object or computer peripheral to the desktop.
