Would love to be proved wrong, there’s a small but very enthusiastic market of gamers let down by poor hardware designs.I truly believe that there will come a time, probably not too far off in the future, where we will all be 3D printing intricate electronic devices from the comfort of our own homes. This looks great as a super customisable controller but I think it stops there. There’s no specific info on the website and the video playthroughs are clearly aimed at people who have good motor control and can use gyro-based aiming (this is a non-starter for my friend). I’m not really sure the “focus on accessibility” is really aimed at my friend and those like him, it seems more like marketing so far. On the other hand, Microsoft have loads of accessible features built into their controllers and games, they are leagues ahead on this.

He’s just spent a small fortune buying another console following the relesease of a new “pro” controller that’s a different shape so he can actually use the thumb sticks. He ended up selling his pride a joy console as it was unplayable.

He has motor control problems which left him totally unable to use PS5 controllers following the brain-dead Sony design. I was excited to see this here as a “focus on accessibility” sounds perfect for my friend that really struggles with modern controllers.
