This one-handed DualSense controller has been designed by Akaki Kuumeri as an accessible peripheral for use with the PlayStation 5 console that would allow for impressive performance with only a single hand.
The controller is achieved thanks to a series of 3D-printed components that have been added onto the namesake controller in order to help players access all the various buttons with a single hand. This would work effectively for those with physical limitations or mobility issues to effectively enjoy some of their favorite titles.
The one-handed DualSense controller features a series of activators for the buttons to shift the side from which they can be pressed, while the joystick is movable by utilizing a stationary surface nearby the user.
