Abstract
A combination computing device and input device. The computing device provides a plurality of sides. The input device providing a structural bridge, a pair of control modules, and a touch sensitive input module attached to the back side of the input device. The pair of control modules confine the computing device on at least two opposing sides of the plurality of sides. The pair of control modules adaptively and snugly accommodate the width of the computing device, and alternatively, adaptively and snugly accommodate a width of a second computing device, the second computing device having a width greater than the width of the computing device. The structural bridge secures the pair of control modules one to the other, and, adaptively and snugly, accommodate the length of either the computing device or, the second computing device, the second computing device having a length greater than the length of the computing device.
