Access Controller now shipping for PS2/PS3/PC - Hack a Day
"[Ben Heckendorn]’s Access Controller is now shipping. The controller is designed to be used with just one hand. It has six openings that the five control modules can be placed in. It’s easy to reconfigure depending on the player or game. While the prototype was built using Xbox 360 controller parts, this newly released unit is available for the PS2, PS3, and PCs. The Xbox 360 version is still being reviewed for final production. [Ben] says that in the coming weeks he’ll post a how-to for building your own modules. There’s always one empty slot and the bus like design should make this fairly simple."
Fatuous, Snide First Impressions:
Enter a bold new age of snacking and masturbating while gaming at the same time!
Genuine Excitement:
1) This is a great stride forward for Game Accesibility.
2) The idea of an easily reconfigurable control scheme is exciting from a design standpoint. Go forth and iterate. Yes, you could have a touch screen or a wiimote, but this is something you can hold with buttons you can press.
