News - Soft Material Solutions for Handheld Gaming Devices

Key Challenges Faced by Handheld Gaming Device Manufacturers

1. Ergonomic Comfort Issues: Prolonged gaming can lead to hand fatigue and discomfort if devices lack ergonomic design.

2. Durability and Protection Concerns: Handheld devices often face heavy use, leading to wear and tear. Manufacturers need to ensure that their products can withstand repeated handling and accidental drops while maintaining their aesthetic appeal.

3. Lack of Product Differentiation: Standing out in a competitive market requires unique designs and functionalities.

With the continuous rise of the gaming industry, handheld gaming devices are no longer just a tool for game operation, but also a medium for emotional interaction with players. How to choose a suitable soft material to overcome these challenges and create exceptional gaming devices with both aesthetics and practicality in terms of appearance and functionality is the core question manufacturers need to think about.

How do soft materials address these challenges?

1. Ergonomic comfort solutions:

Si-TPV Thermoplastic Elastomers Controller Grips: Si-TPV Soft Elastic Material is a Tpu For Improved Handling (Slip-Resistant Thermoplastic Polyurethane) with a With a wide range of stiffness, excellent resilience, long-lasting skin-friendly soft touch, anti-slip and malleability, it is possible to create Wear Resistant Comfortable Handle Grips that ergonomically fit the natural curves of the user's hand. This reduces hand fatigue during extended gaming sessions and improves the overall comfort of the device.

Si-TPV Thermoplastic Elastomers Button Covers and Triggers: Buttons and triggers are critical to the gaming experience, and Si-TPV Thermoplastic Elastomers (Elastomeric Compounds/Elastomeric Materials) are an Extremely Silky Feel Material Without Additional Coating, commonly used to improve the tactile feel of buttons and triggers. Soft button covers provide better feedback, making it easier for players to press buttons accurately and quickly, as well as reducing wear and tear on the device, extending its lifespan.

2. Durability and protection:

Shock-absorbing protective case: Si-TPV Thermoplastic Elastomers provide excellent impact resistance to protect the device from accidental drops and extend its life. These materials also protect against scratches, perspiration, and environmental factors such as UV rays and moisture. However, Si-TPV materials can also be used as Overmolding Materials, which are resistant to dirt, abrasion and scratches, and have a strong bond to the substrate. These properties prevent peeling and abrasion, ensuring that the equipment remains in good condition even under heavy use.

3. Product differentiation:

Customisable aesthetics: Si-TPV Thermoplastic Elastomers are easily customisable in terms of colour, texture and design, enabling manufacturers to create visually appealing and distinctive devices. Si-TPV, for example, enhances the vibrancy of colours to cater to different consumer preferences.

4. Innovative Designs:

Si-TPV Thermoplastic Elastomers are Modification For Tpu, or Softer TPUs, whose flexibility in hardness allows for the creation of unique, ergonomic designs that stand out from the competition. The recyclability of Si-TPV is also in line with growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly products, adding a sustainable edge to device innovation. In addition, it is Skin Friendly Materials, which is not harmful to the human body, making it more suitable for use in scenarios where it comes into contact with human skin.
