Interlink Electronics is a technology company that specializes in user interfaces.

[edit] History

In 2001, Interlink joined Microsoft in designing the controller for the Xbox console.[1]

In 2006, the company filed a patent lawsuit against Nintendo of America, claiming that the Wii Remote violated their patents for a device that had point and click functionality. Interlink's patented technology revolves around the trigger button to be used as a left-click on the mouse.[2] The trigger on the Wii Remote is not used for clicking on the screen (i.e. Wii Menu) as that is assigned currently to the A button.
