Abstract
The disclosed handheld controllers may include a multi-degree of freedom sensor module, a mouse module, and a switch. The mouse module may include a mouse sensor and a proximity sensor. The switch may be configured to activate the mouse sensor and deactivate the multi-degree of freedom sensor module when the proximity sensor indicates that the mouse sensor is proximate to a physical surface and to deactivate the mouse sensor and activate the multi-degree of freedom sensor when the proximity sensor indicates that the mouse sensor is not proximate to the physical surface. Various other related methods, systems, and devices are also disclosed.
