This one-handed [DualSense](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-leonardo) controller has been designed by Akaki Kuumeri as an [accessible peripheral](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xbox-adaptive-joystick) for use with the [PlayStation 5](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-access-controller) 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.
