This is fantastic news. I'm making assumption about the design here, because it only has one control stick. You need two of these, one for them left joystick and one for the right joystick. That's actually even better, if that is the case, because it means you can put the two control stick as far away from each other as possible if you want that set up. You could even buy a third of controller button with your foot. I hope that is the case.
I just like to call out Nintendo here for complete lack of disability access. There is no support for disabled controllers whatsoever for a Nintendo switch and it's shocking from Nintendo. You have to buy some very expensive third-party gear if you want to have any sort of disabled access for the Nintendo switch.

- goosedragons 3y agoYou can get an adapter like the Mayfair Magic NS and hook up an Xbox adaptive controller. Yeah it's an extra $20 it maybe shouldn't be but on the plus side you can then share the controller among a PC/Xbox/Switch.
- CTDOCodebases 3y agoSome of the game companies are cracking down on non standard controllers. Maybe not an issue if you are not using mouse and keyboard but I don't know the specifics.
- goosedragons 3y agoThat's only an issue on Xbox. And if you use an Xbox Adaptive controller then it's fine.
- jorvi 3y ago“Non-standard controllers” being devices that basically amount to cheating, either giving you mouse+kb input with controller aim assist, or giving you access to things like recoil compensation scripts.
- hulitu 3y agoHm, i have a hard time using a PS4 controller. I played games using keyboard and mouse.
- CTDOCodebases 3y agoThe issue with using mouse+kd on consoles is if it's done using a 3rd party device then the console can't detect it and aim assist can still be used. If the game natively supports mouse+kd then that is fine but if you are using mouse+kd with aim assist turned on then you are basicaly using an aimbot to cheat.
- nottorp 3y agoWhat's the point of even selling just the one joystick? Isn't everyone just going to have to buy two?
- jeremyjh 3y agoI guess to make it look more affordable than it is.
- _a_a_a_ 3y ago"more affordable" -> cheaper
- micromacrofoot 3y agothere are a good number of games where you can get away with one
- nottorp 3y agoHmm i do own a ps5 and from what i've played i can think of 3 titles, all platformer-ish. All the immersive 3d titles need both joysticks?
- micromacrofoot 3y agothere are dozens of indie games that are platformers and other varieties of 2d, I almost never play dual joystick games myself
- schmorptron 3y agoThere are probably some people who only have enough motor function to use one joystick, and then use other, custom input devices to assign to other buttons or potentiometers.
- blincoln 3y agoI was assuming there was a way to configure a button that would toggle the stick between left and right, since most games I've played don't require using both at once.[1] I don't see a conclusive answer in their online docs, though, and looking at the layout and parts, I don't see a tag or other way to assign that hypothetical function. It would be unfortunate if sending right stick messages really does require buying a whole separate controller. The rest of the product seems almost unbelievably thoughtful and well-designed. Regardless, hopefully they used Hall effect sensors for the stick this time, because drift is frustrating enough on a regular PS5 controller. Imagine having to buy a whole new Access Controller every time you fail your saving throw on stick drift. [1] e.g. one is for movement, the other is for manual camera control.
