Dual-Hand Access Controller

Do you have a technical question that doesn't really fit a specific console? Want some general info on electronics, hacking, making cookies, etc? Here's the place to ask! Go nuts.

Dual-Hand Access Controller

Post by BoomBox-Creations »

Well, heres my wacky idea, something like bens access controller, but an actual ps2/ps3/xbox 360 controller with removable buttons.

im not planning to make this, im just wondering what you all think..... ive suggested this to ben, well something like it anyway..... if he decides to do it, well... his choice....

( bow down to my craply drawn controller on flash!! )

Like bens, you can pull out the buttons easily and put them in a differnet spot.

Image
with some buttons in place....

Image
buttons re-arranged

well... thats it.. for now.... im going to bed, im tired... catchas....

So you haven't finished it. It doesn't belong in News.

Hmm, can't really decide if this is a good idea or not?
If it's meant for disabled people like the access they probably will have a hard time holding it, so the original access would be a better choice anyway. If it's meant for you or me, I don't see the point of changing anything on the right side of the controller. The only thing I think would be great is being able to change places of the d-pad and left analog stick, the rest should remain in place. Just my 2¢.

Yeah, shouldn't be in news either.

You should make it so you can use a PS3 d pad with a 360.

yer its for people with 2 hands like you and me..... like the title said, "Dual-Had Access Controller", im sure that most people will think of a controller used with '2' hands....

but honestly, ive got a friend thats left hand and he complains that playing games is "easier" for me since im right handed.... load of bullsh*t but still....

well, ive never saw that, now ive got something to work off, but yes, i mean something like that, but you change the x, o, etc buttons to the 360 buttons to make it work on the other console, so its cross platform.....


---------------------------------

but still, this is a good idea that like the layout for the 360 better than the ps3 or the other way around and if they really want, they can use it for a different platform..... i might make one of these in a few years....... but first, im busy with.... stuff.....

I hope you're not 'making' this controller just so you can prove a point to your friend who is, as you said, full of bs. How about you buy the Phoenix Revolution Controller so he can swap the controls for his leftie-needs. But I'm sure he'll have a hard time adjusting to the new layout.

Did I understand you right..? You wan't to make it work on both a PS3 and a 360? If so, you'll need the guts of both controllers inside your controller.

ive already told him that, thats hes not going to get used of the buttons being opposite atleast until a new playstation or xbox comes out....

na, im just thinking of it caus theres so many tuts on how to put the guts of a ps controller inside a 360 one and vise versa, and thought somehting like this....

well, you heard right, i might need to make my own circuit board.... if i do make 1, its going to be wireless with a ps3 controller battery..... but like i said in a previous post ( im sure i did ), im not going to make it, its jut an idea, and jsut wondering what you people think....

It would be very interesting to see this be done. A dual console, wireless, controller, in which certain key components could be rearranged- it'd be hard as heck to do as well, and the key market you'd expect to see interested in this would be quite small as well.

It certainly wouldn't be impossible, but it would be difficult, and it'd be quite tough to make it near as small as an original controller.

WOW, one flaw I noticed when making my singlehanded controller is
WIRED, LET ME REPEAT WIRED No batteries

They are very difficult to remove and replace with one hand, while having your legs hold the controller itself still


Granted some may be more experienced when used to their handicap, I feel make it as easy as possible

well, the wireless and controlle bit is easy, ive already got the things for that, and im not even planning to make this, atleast not for a while anyway... but it being dual console and the small enough size will be a trouble...

whoever said it was for people with 1 hand?

does nobody read the title?

but still, you do bring up a good point, im thinking if it was for 1 handed people, it would be a built in battery that they plug a chord in to charge it.... saves hassle and time trying to change the batteries....

Maybe it would be possible to fit both controller guts (or custom board) inside a original xbox controller? Would be cool I guess, but as said before, hard!
