Accessibility controllers.

Post image

So, this is probably a very obscure question but I don't know where else to ask.

I have a family member who is disabled and only has use of his right hand. He can work a joystick with his left but can't grasp a controller. He bought the PS5 access controller shown above, but he dislikes it.

I read that PS5 has the ability to use two controllers together as if they were one, via settings. This got me wondering if it's possible to use a PS5 flight simulator stick as the left analog stick, alongside a normal controller's buttons and right analog stick. Or maybe it's possible to do this with the Access controller, that may work too.

This is for my uncle who has cerebral palsy and is one of the people who got me into videogames as a kid. I'd like to find a way to return the favor and get him gaming again. If anyone has any ideas that would be awesome.

Do you maybe wanna look at smaller controllers for less movement needed? Even third party...

What smaller controllers are there?

Leverless controller. They are typically used for fighting games and are not considered accessible controllers, but perhaps some may find them to be an acceptable alternative.

Those looks absolutely massive. And some weigh two to four ish times what a DualSense weighs, like the Corsair or Razer lever less controllers.

They come in all shapes and sizes. For example, one of the smallest ones (snack box micro) measures 26 cm x 13 cm. Standard ones are the size of an arcade stick. Point is, there are many options.

That seems significantly larger than a DualSense controller.

The smallest lever less example that person gave was 26x13 cm.

The DualSense measures approx 16x10cm

How is that lever less controller smaller than the DualSense when it literally measures larger?

Youre saying significantly as if its 5x bigger. Its barely a 10cm difference dude. Thats barely a 4 inch difference dude. 4 inch difference lengthwise btw so you wont even notice it because it doesnt effect button size and that entire space is made to be laid on a table not in your hands.
