Ben Heck's Access Controller Allows One Handed Gaming

  June 27th, 2008



Modder Ben Heck originally designed a device called the Access Controller to allow handicapped gamers to get into the action with the ability to control a game one handed. The controller has since been picked up by eDimensional who is now offering it for sale to gamers of all ability levels. The controller is sort of like a gamepad like the Belkin N52te, but whereas the Belkin still needs a mouse the Access Controller doesn't.

The Access Controller is available for pre-order at $129.95 and uses a modular design to allow users to move round modules with buttons and analog control sticks around to best suit the user. It could still be used by gamers with a PS3, PS2 or the PC who only have the use of one hand. Gamers with the use of both hands can use the controller to allow one handed play of video games, leaving their other hand available for that common task that occupies one hand of many gamers, stuffing chips into their gaping pie hole while playing. What did you think I meant?
