PlayStation Access Controller: Hands-On

Hows the arcade stick? Honestly just looking for a cheap alternative for shmups and sidescrollers. Looks perfect!

can this work for someone who only has use of one hand?

I'm Disabled and I use Nintendo Switch Joy Cons to play games now.

So how does the right stick work

I dont see how this is going to be easier for anyone

still no use for onehanded gamer... so GREAT work Sony...

Does anyone know if you can use this controller for other systems and PC

It's ok for FPS ?
Thanks

I'm a one handed gamer. I had a stroke and game left handed. I have pre ordered this. So in theory I can remap the right analogue?

I have a son with cerebral palsy, and CANNOT WAIT for this to come out and build some kind of attachment for his wheelchair. This will be a game changer (no pun intended)

well.. it's about time, Sony !! Microsoft didn't wait for you... Kudos for the effort, anyway.
Now, what about this ANNOYING way to place joysticks (in line ), for the normal PS5 controller ?
I know that most fanboys of Sony love them but I prefer the unsymmetrical joysticks from Microsoft.
Sony's controller give me cramps .... And that's the problem with PSX, PS2 , PS3 , PS4 and PS5 (Yes, I play for the software, NEVER for the hardware.. and Sony had very good games !!! ) .
And sadly Sony REFUSES to third party companies to produce "Microsoft' style" controllers.
you CAN'T have a Microsoft's controller with all the "bell and whistles" from a normal official PS5 controller....
Shabby Sony, really shabby ! 😞

I put alot of input to a joystick and that one looks very weak at best 😢

😂😂😂😂 or use a keyboard/mouse setup 🤯

Really needs to be useable with only one hand otherwise this is completely useless

is this pc compatible?

Looks easy to use but incredibly hard to set up! 😅

I'm really intrigued by this controller designed for accessibility. At the same time, I can't understand how to play games like GOW or Spiderman on this. it must be pretty challenging. I would love to see a post setup game run with this controller.

Is this controller any good for people with arthritis? I find the hand controller heavy& it hurts my thumbs as well as I have arthritis in my wrists& thumb joints.

Crazy how the accessibility controller is more expensive than other controllers...making it less accessible

Does it allow to play it with one hand?

Maybe I’m missing something, but where is the other analog stick?

so confusing to press the button...hahahaaha no thanks...

This would be great for Diablo games

Bravo. That is truly amazing.

I feel like this kind of misses the point in some ways. Microsoft's option had enough inputs to essentially DIY a new controller to suit the user's needs. This has a hockey puck and 4 inputs.

Be cool for train sim world 🙂

Im thinking this would be a great addition to a flight simulator setup... just need someone to test it out for me :P

The should’ve had LEDs to display the current button on the controller instead of sticking the buttons on there.

Wow! And Respect to the designers.

I think this review would have been MUCH more helpful if you had a person with an actual disability be the one to review it. Though there are some very good features with this device, especially the customization software, the negative aspects were almost completely overlooked.

I’d like to use it for fighting games

Can i play with only left hand comfortably?

I remember when the other company made one similar to this, and they say these stuff are intended for handcapped customer, like bruh, you mean you saw an opportunity to sell a specialized controller for couple hundred bucks more vs a standard one, while handicapped may see it a win, to me I see it as companries taking advantage of the situation, atleast sony isnt doing that, so as much as dont like consoles anymore, kudos to sony on this.

how does a one handed person use this? My son spent his own money on this and we cant figure it out

This controller is absolute garbage!! I bought all the Bite Switches available in Europe that work with a 3.5mm jack, spent a total of 180€ for the two Access Controllers plus nearly 200€ for the Bite Switches, and none of them are recognized by the Access Controller! Sony support is almost nonexistent, and there's no information on the internet or Sony's official pages. Logitech's accessory buttons are still not available over a month after the Access Controller's release, and no one seems to care!
Apparently, there's no community in this area. My PS5, including all this "accessible" accessories, cost me well over 1000 euros, and I haven't been able to play a single game because there's no functional external input accessory! The Bite Switch I have is from Airturn and is officially suitable and compatible with the Microsoft Adaptive Controller according to the description and packaging, but it's not recognized by the Sony Access Controller, just like all the other switches and buttons l've tested.
I can rule out a defect since I use a setup with two Access Controllers, and neither of them works! Why is there no information about this problem?! I believe I'm almost the only one trying to use this controller for its intended purpose. With the Microsoft Adaptive Controller, there are numerous official how-tos and DIY guides for building accessories and input devices, along with a helpful community. Sony couldn't care less. I'm so desperate and would love to throw all this junk against the wall.Why are there no test videos about this?
I contacted Sony Support about this issue two weeks ago, but I still haven't received a response.

Desperate regards, Florian

my brother has only 1 functional hand to use, is it possible to play with this controller with only 1 hand?

;DDDDD

Its not quite there but good but cant wait to see more doesnt help with people with one hand.useless for me sadly😢

I have neorapathy in my fingers and hands sports is all I play Madden 24 can this access controller work for me the show 23 and nba 24 please give me and anwser

Does this work on the PS4 by any chance?

I see it says for this controller for sports games on the profile it says slot 2 is better sport games is this true

Useless...

It’s great to see that the fun of gaming is reaching and will be accessible to everyone.. not a Sony fanboy, nor xBoz but great to see this level of progress.

isn't this one so complex

Does it work for Fortnite?

Had one arm since a Mva in 98. Took me about 10 years to learn to play with a standard controller. Son just bought it for Father’s Day. Interested in seeing how well it works. I hope I can put both sticks together to make aiming in resident evil easier

Nice joke in title 🤣

Does it work on pc ? Looks like perfect buttonbox for vr sim gaming to me

Racing sims get a racing sim...anything else play joystick kbm

I like that Sony is taking into consideration with people with disabilities. My boss and I play games together but he just sits and watches the story with me while I play. It would be great if it came with two joystick instead of one. He cannot hold two objects simultaneously especially the games that we play. I would really like it to have two sticks if at all possible
