Multi-player game controller system with combinable hand-held game controllers

This is a multi-player game controller system featuring two separate hand-held controllers, each with user inputs. The controllers can physically connect to each other, and the system detects this "engaged" state. The claims specify this connection is made by magnets that physically contact each other.

Why it matters: Miniaturized wireless, inertial, and optical sensors are now cheaper and more powerful. This makes integrating advanced features into small, combinable controllers more feasible.
