A NEW STANDARD

This circular-shaped gaming controller is unlike anything you’ve seen before.

 

Built with remarkable ingenuity, it offers a groundbreaking solution for gamers with disabilities. Designed with inclusivity at its core, it goes beyond traditional designs, making gaming accessible to those who have long struggled with conventional controllers. Its most striking feature is full customisability: With an array of interchangeable stick and button caps, players can adapt the setup to their individual needs, whether that means adjusting for hand strength, range of motion, or unique physical requirements.

 

Inclusivity and Comfort

One of the controller’s innovative aspects is its versatility. Whether placed on flat surfaces like wheelchair trays or configured for use at any orientation, comfort and functionality are never compromised. What also sets it apart is its ability to pair up to two of these controllers with a standard wireless controller, creating a seamless virtual controller system. This allows for mixed-device use or collaborative play, an ingenious touch that enables friends or caregivers to assist or join in.

 

The technical refinement continues on the software side. Players can create up to 30 customised control profiles, adjusting stick sensitivity, dead zones, and even deactivate certain buttons, empowering gamers to fine-tune their experience with absolute precision.


Thoughtful Design with Purpose
Beyond the impressive technical features, the controller exemplifies thoughtful design. Its sleek form and intuitive layout reflect a deep understanding of industrial design’s role in accessibility. The care that has gone into ensuring that every button and joystick provides tactile feedback tailored to the user’s needs is a testament to the designers' passion for gaming and good design.

 

In a world where accessibility is too often overlooked, this controller stands out as a beacon of inclusivity, ensuring that no gamer is left behind.
