One-handed DualSense

[@AkakiKuumeri]

Hi all, thanks for watching! If you're still on PS4 I made one for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHrUeXihqc-kq5Y Buy a copy printed from me here: www.etsy.com/listing/1169870655/one-handed-dualsense-attachment If you found this helpful, I take tips here: paypal.me/akakikuumeri

[@immortalbee6202]

Thank you so much, my uncle was shot in the head back in 2003 and could only play dynasty warriors and overall stopped playing almost 11 years ago. He would always ask gamestop employees for one handed games, but thanks to you, you gave him the chance to play games again

[@james2479]

This is absolutely amazing and will be ordering soon

[@CountyGirlCleaning]

Hi Akari, 1st, thank you so much for doing what you're doing. I have printed off This adapter for my my middle son who has no use of his left hand. But he would like to be able to play video games with his younger brother on our PS5. Unfortunately I'm not very good at following written instructions and would really benefit from either a picture tutorial or a video on how to build this for a right handed person. But I don't see one all I've seen is left handed instruction.Also some of my parts look slightly different from yours which I find odd. I don't know if there's extra pieces that were printed as mounts or not so again if I had a picture tutorial or video that would greatly help me sort this out. Do you have anything like that available? Thank you so much for your time.

[@msudog09]

Is there anyway I can get in touch with you

[@MeeBeeGeeBee]

Congrats. I've been playing one-handed for over 17 years due to a Stroke and know how frustrating it has been for the major manufacturers to forget about disabled gamers. Hopefully this will encourage more people with accessibility to feel more included.

[@mastergee7075]

They don't "forget", it's just not profitable enough to be worth it. It's the unfortunate truth

[@majindustin]

@@mastergee7075 freakin capitalistic mindset, even if it's something necessary.

[@DPHAngelPookz]

@@majindustin Thats the point money not that many people that play games are disabled so all that matters to them is the majority

[@ImLisaMoore]

I'm trying to find what to buy for my son, who had a stroke 4 months ago.

[@femineity]

@@ImLisaMoore, I wish you and your son God's loving grace and strength! I too am in search of something to purchase for one-handed play.

[@kiave18]

Being stroke the most frequent of disabling pathologies and with the increasing of gamers average age, this is a brilliant solution that can seriously overcome the problem of pad accessibility for a lot of people! As a physiotherapist and gamer I often thought about how to resolve this issue but your solution is far ahead everything I have imagined. Thank you for your work!

[@majindustin]

Its also certainly a bit more affordable than the Ben Heck option, too. Took me two years too save up for that one.

[@petephillips3870]

Thanks that was very interesting. I lost the use of my left arm when I was 23…I’m 61 now and fancy a go at gaming, keep up the good work!

[@Metallian81]

Highly creative! I am fortunate to not have any disabilities, but im grateful to see designer's trying to help those with disabilities. It also gives me hope I wouldn't have to give up a favorite hobby if I befell some type of accident or something to cause a disability. Kudos to you sir! 👏 👏

[@slunce12]

Great design! I think if you collaborated with a charity like Special Effect, you could improve the lives of a lot of differently-abled gamers.

[@AkakiKuumeri]

I don’t know that charity, but I welcome anyone to use the design. I would be stoked if somebody found it useful!

[@slunce12]

@@AkakiKuumeri Special Effect focus on making gaming accessible to more people. I don't know that much about them, but I know that they provide alternative input devices like eye or mouth control to people and I think they also work on or support the development of software and hardware in that area. I'm sure a lot of people with only one fully functioning hand/arm would find this specific design useful :)

[@CalebKraftmakes]

@@slunce12 I run a charity (the one in the video) and I’ve already had 3 folks request this. It’s so good.

[@petephillips3870]

Is this available in the uk?

[@JamesJohnson-lt3fc]

Have you ever made one for Xbox? I have limited use in my right hand. Love the design just done have that model of controller

[@JG-pp8cc]

I just want to thank you for making this. I printed one out for my girlfriend who has limited motor control in her left hand and it works pretty well! :) We decided against the d-pad paddles as they stuck for us but for her situation it should be okay

[@robertoribeiro3548]

As a PhD in Interaction (and gamer), I'm so glad you did this project and shared the result. This can make so many people with accessibility issues happy. Congrats and best regards from Portugal 🎮

[@danielrios4310]

You're an example of creativity and solidarity. Sharing for free a design that costs so much work and time It's something just amazing.

[@alzandermuller]

Very cool. I'm sure this could help a lot of people with accessibility issues!

[@d13vrs94]

My son (now 11) was born with one hand and is a big gamer. It amazes me how well he manages to work around a controller but this idea is fantastic! I would happily buy one of these from you if that’s possible? Keep up the good work 🤙🏼

[@ixisnowixi]

Thats incredible. Thank you, sincerely and i say this as someone with both hands. But its because of people like you, that the world is a better place.

[@Makkavic]

The amount of joy you will draw on people's faces is just priceless , god bless you mate!

[@lilrebbitzen]

Thank you so much for making this and the PS4 version! My husband had a stroke when he was very small and can't use his right hand to hit buttons or hold the controller, so we're very interested in this! We'll try to print one soon! If it doesn't work, you might be getting money from us soon lol! But this looks like exactly what he needs!

[@acdnan]

This made me cry man. Great work. We need to make gaming more inclusive.

[@Kiárán92]

This is quite possibly a game changer (pun intended) I can already tell you’ve changed so many loves and for the better. Well done, and for free too. I hope you feel proud of yourself!

[@Kevin-jp4rb]

Would love to see a walkthrough of It Takes Two with the camera showing you using duo one-handed Dualsenses

Incredibly clever design. I love this. The D-pad solution is lovely.

[@AkakiKuumeri]

Thanks! It’s simple but it works. I do wish it was a bit sturdier though

[@fishofdopeness]

“The highly anticipated sequel to ‘It Takes’”

[@SaphireTech]

Looks really good! This will probably make gaming accessible for quite a few people I imagine.

[@ppBizU]

Terrific project Akaki! Thanks for sharing and making live easier for people need that.

[@KurtisandHurdle]

I made a one handed Xbox one controller except I designed it as if you were holding it from the right side. I was looking and saw your submission and was very impressed. I wish I would have put more work into my design.

[@majindustin]

Thank you for your hard work, I've saved the etsy listing so I can hopefully order one soon. I had a stroke in 2017, and never thought I'd play a PS5, so really didn't care when it came out. I have a one handed Xbox controller from Ben Heck, though, so I knew I could play series consoles.

[@majindustin]

I Ordered these recently, they should be here by the 18th of this month, for the folks reading this in the future, today is August 5th.

[@laudaifram2301]

I'm sorry, I'm still grinning over It Takes Two being a sequel to It Takes lmao 🤣. But anyway, this is a great design. You're helping a lot of disabled gamer out there and that is such a generous act!

[@ChengTeoh]

How long before we get a "One Handed Controller SL1 All Bosses No Damage" SoulsBorne Challenge with Elden Ring included?

[@CyberClaw]

As a one handed gamer, I welcome de ingenuity, and the design seems sound. Even in dual stick intensive games (FPSes) I can see the bottom stick bring used for less precise actions (movement) while the analogue sick being used for aiming. I have a friend that also plays one handed, and he doesn't use any adaptation. I'll surely send him this video. Have you considered adapting the design for the Xbox and Switch controller? I'll still suggest he tries this with a Titan One / Chronus Max adapter, but that's basically a 100+ USD investment in a new controller and adapter, workout even counting the 3d print. Great work anyhow.

[@AkakiKuumeri]

If you do try it out please let me know how it went. I’m always looking for feedback on how well these designs work outside my own testing. I don’t think it’s be worth it to get an expensive adapter just for this. I might try and modify this to work for the Xbox controllers. The trouble is, they’re not symmetrical so I have to make two different ones. And on top of that, there are like 4 different generations of Xbox controllers, are ever so slightly differently shaped… For switch, I really don’t think anything like this is needed to begin with, there are a bunch of much simpler solutions that just reposition the joycons in different orientations for one-handed play, and the switch is more open to a ton of speciality controllers through the GameCube controller adapter

[@RogueMusicFreak]

For people with disabilities, this is absolutely amazing. Great job!

[@bercerus]

Sir, this is the work of saint!!! i know a gamer guy who is veteran and lost left arm and have to narrow down the type of game he can play with 1 hand (RTS , turnbase-RPG , racing). im gonna send this to him!!!

[@sputnikprivate]

“I made this for it takes two, the highly anticipated sequel to it takes.” I see we have a genius at work here.

This is so cool you've earned a new subscriber ad I'm also a one handed ps5 player but I use a normal dualsense controller and I use my chin to control the left analogue it took me 1 year of practice to master almost every game I play apex legends as a solo player it's lonely but I won't let my disability stop me gaming

[@aragorn8414]

I have a friend who needs this. Thank you for your contribution!

[@jaczob666]

Pretty cool! The lap control reminds me of Ben Heck's designs, although he usually it's usually just an analog at the bottom opposed to the big surface you're using. Very awesome stuff!

[@MrOrcen]

This is awesome, you should patent this and start mass producing it. A lot of people will really appreciate it.

[@PuppetJacks]

That is awesome. I recently posted a video of me playing elder scrolls online one handed, (without any adaptions). but this is really cool to see and hopefully it helps a lot of people. Nice work.

[@richardkavalar1967]

Amazing. Love the design. I've been playing games with one hand without anything added to the controller and it made me miss out on a lot of really great games. But the games I can play I'm pretty damn good at so this would just make me better.

Genius. The world needs more people like you!

[@pears0094]

That’s really cool man! 😀🙌🏼🤙🏼 Awesome of you looking out for those who are limited with disabilities, etc… and might otherwise not be able to experience Video Games. ( Modern Video Games especially, seeing the amount of buttons used and mapped for various games… ) Shoot, it can take me a while with TWO hands to get used to what buttons do what, especially when switching games… Again, very cool and great invention! I really hope it helps some people out! 😀

[@DavidFilskov]

Excellent work! ❤ - hey, perhaps you have an idea on how to make an analogue thumbstick work as a clicky digital 8-way arcade stick? Either a restricting clicking mechanism (preferably) - or a way to physically map it to the D-pad 😊

[@RaithDagger]

This is awesome! My daughter loves to game but has Cerebral Palsy so she only has use of her right hand. She mainly plays on her PC with keyboard and mouse. Its a lot of moving her hand off the mouse and to the keyboard and back for her. I have been trying to find something like Razer Tartarus but for right handed setup. Keep up the ingenuity!

[@LionMob]

You could buy a mouse with more buttons and assign the in-game controls to it.

[@mrcolinwee]

This is genuinely awesome. Kudos sir!

[@yogiwoogie1097]

brilliant idea! One handed people really will love it

[@HeartbreakOne1337]

[@DimitriNakos]

THANK YOU. My girlfriend was born with Cerebral Palsy and can't effectively use her left hand. She never got into video games because of this. I got her something similar-ish for the nintendo switch joycons and she was able to play pokemon snap with it. :) If I eventually find a PS5 for myself I'll defintieyl get her this even if she only barely plays it. Thanks again!

[@dnlsilva6295]

great, congratulations on the initiative. the manufacturer could think of a left-handed mirror control and thus integrate a larger audience.

as someone who's recently developed left shoulder pain from playing console games, i think this would help for longer gaming sessions.

[@zwein1817]

@@AkakiKuumeri I see. I was thinking from a "PC point of view". I wonder how third party manufacturers solve this problem.

[@AkakiKuumeri]

@@dempa3 the big 3rd party manufacturers like Hori purchase a license from Sony and likely use Sony-made chips to connect to the console. Unlicensed 3rd parties use pirated (reverse-engineered) chips. So far, I don’t think there are any 3rd party controllers for PS5, licensed or not.
