That controller is customizeable. Each of those little circles of buttons or joystick are interchangeable so you can put them where you want them.

Have disabled gamers tried it?? It looks pretty sweet....

Lastly. How hard is it to make controllers??? Even one like the one I explained, Where do you find people to do this stuff??? & I Wish I Had the know how & Skill....

Matt
I haven't been able to find any reviews of people who've actually used it.

It's difficult but doable, but it's depends on who your talking to about it aswell.

Just looking & reading some specs - I Could sumia see that it looked Tough & when something like that looks tough & is complicated like those things sound, Theh HEH most times it's even Tougher!!!!!!

In a a perfect worls I Wisg system makers listened more & had a few type of controllers for the disabled available or ready for some type of custom!!!!!! All the buttons IE meaning the triggers - on the controller facewould be sweet - That & Game makers allowing disabled gamers to buy Directly from Them, Thus allowing a few requested tweaks to the game for the buyer - I Read this is a pretty easy do....

I'll end this as I Think it's ran its course & I say Thank You for answering my questions & for your time doing so....

Ugh. Being Disabled & Hving NO button Assignments Anymore, Pisses me off

poor guy. My uncle had the same thing. Makes you want to help. And really, compared to portablizing a console, it seems fairly simple.

Alright, I was not really wanting to take this on, (Too many other projects) but now I feel guilty. Adding the L and R trigggers to the face is actually pretty easy in the world of controller modding.

If you are still interested, PM me.

Later. :D

Need a controller myself

Post by heymelby »

Hi my name is erik and i have scleroderma, my hands are curled in too, i got by with the mad catz mini 360 controller but i'm aggravated at the trigger and shoulder buttons. i hope ben finishes his access 360, i'd really like to try it.

on the other hand if some could come up with a mini controller with all the buttons on the face it could be worth a lot, there are 300,000 people with scleroderma alone.

my thumbs are the most useful, that what i type with, the other fingers curl in like a hook with my pinky fingers touching my palm at all times.

My controller is operated by mouth, but I have an adapter that goes from ps2 to xbox360, maybe that would work too?

Send me an email!

My mouth controller is entirely operated by your mouth. If you like Ben's ps2/3 Access Pad I have an adaptor that will allow it to hook up to an xbox360.

Send me an email if need be.
