The Access Controller, designed by Ben Heck and and released by eDimensional, is now available for purchase. This revolutionary controller was specifically designed and created for handicapped individuals, so they could play popular PS2, PS3 and PC games with one hand. It is designed so, if you wish, each control module can be controlled by one or two fingers, with the hand comfortably resting on the center pad.

The goal of the Access Controller appears to be comfort, since it also allows for player customization. There are six ports on the controller, and each of the controller modules can be removed or shifted around. That way, whether you’re right or left handed, you can find the most comfortable position. Or, you can sort your modules depending on what is easiest for the game being played. The Access Controller is also wireless, and comes with information for people who want to design custom control modules.

The Access Controller is a bit expensive, at $129.95, but if someone needs it to play, then it is totally worth it. Also, eDimensional states on the Access Controller product page that a portion of the money earned and a set number of Access Controllers will be donated to Children’s Hospitals and Veterans Affairs Medical Centers. So if a small amount of the money is also going to a good cause, then it also helps justify the price.

This is a really amazing controller development, and a wonderful way to make video games more accessible for players. I can’t help thinking that the Access Controller looks a bit uncomfortable and complicated, but I’m sure once you have one and start using it, you quickly pick up what you have to do. Especially since you can set it up however you want.
