Abstract

Disclosed herein is a controller lanyard assembly that minimizes accidental damage to a controller. The controller includes a removable front cover that, when removed, exposes a receptacle that includes a cavity that receives a portion of the lanyard. The cavity of the receptacle is further connected through a channel located on an external surface of the controller. A first portion of the lanyard can reside within the cavity and a second portion of the lanyard can exit through the channel of the controller. The receptacle can further include detents that protrude into the channel, thereby preventing the first portion of the lanyard from exiting the cavity of the receptacle. Altogether, the first portion of the lanyard is coupled to the controller while the second portion of the lanyard is worn by the individual.
