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)
A great step in the right direction to make gaming more accessible to people with different disabilities.
So happy to finally see more stuff like this.
The more gamers, the better. Welcome all!
@@elijaholing Yes! Hopefully Nintendo will release a controller like this some time soon too.
OMG I need this in my life. I have Cerebral Palsy and my hand functions are not good. This could finally get me into console gaming.
Great coverage CNET!
Love to see more companies helping with accessibility!
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.
I wish one of the extra attachments was another analog stick. It sucks that you have to buy another entire controller to seemingly be able to use both analog sticks like you would on the normal dualsense to look around and move at the same time in many games.
@@morganmariex I think you should be able to plug in any analog sticks in one of the ports, instead of buying the whole new controller.
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.
Wow! And Respect to the designers.
Bravo. That is truly amazing.
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
So how does the right stick work
Does anyone know if you can use this controller for other systems and PC
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.
This is so coo! :)
awesome 🏆
can this work for someone who only has use of one hand?
Maybe I’m missing something, but where is the other analog stick?
I think the idea is that it is a starting kit that will allow a disabled person to customize according to their limitations. For someone that has both hands but reduced movement, they could use the system in conjunction with a controller. For someone with one hand, I imagine they would have to buy additional attachments and figure out something that works for them.
Is the second joystick in the standard controller the big middle section of the disability controller?
I noticed there was no second joystick either. I've watched this three times now, and I still have no idea where, the second joystick is, or how it would work.
The middle thing is one big button. It appears that the only way to have a second joy stick is to have a controller, a second access, or possibly as an additional accessory.
Does it allow to play it with one hand?
Can i play with only left hand comfortably?
I see it says for this controller for sports games on the profile it says slot 2 is better sport games is this true
Does it work on pc ? Looks like perfect buttonbox for vr sim gaming to me
It's ok for FPS ?
Thanks
Really impressive. W for Sony
The should’ve had LEDs to display the current button on the controller instead of sticking the buttons on there.
How are you supposed to move and turn your sight at the same time, though? Do you have to constantly press a button to switch between the two? Because that would really suck.
Watch the video first next time before commenting.
@@FBl I did watch the video first. Had I not, and then realized was wrong, I would have come back and deleted my comment. From what I remember of this video, it looked like there was only 1 joystick. They said you could pair a second controller to it, but that seems really dumb, given the entire point of this controller is to not have to use the regular controller. And given the price point, I doubt most people would want to buy 2 of them just to have 2 joysticks. If you have an answer to my question, that would be most appreciated, if you don't, then you replying here was dumb, and a complete waste of both of ours time.
@@bradleyblake7588 If you had actually watched the video then you’d know that the point of this is not to replace and become the controller. It’s a base device for different people with different disabilities to customize it according to their needs and make their own set up. You can also attach the Dualsense controller that already comes with the PS5 to it and Sony is partnering with at least one other company to make more accessories for it with some already being available.
See, you didn’t actually watch the video.
@@FBl You're out of line. Bradley's initial comment was perfectly polite and asking a reasonable question. Then you come along out of nowhere with your rude reply that doesn't even answer the question. Were you having a bad day? Why have you decided to pick on Bradley out of everyone? There are many comments on this video saying it's not suitable for one handed gamers (in their view).
From my distant perspective it's designed to address the physical limitations of the standard controller, blowing open the door to customisation. Just because it's not a comprehensive solution doesn't make it a bad one. At this price point I don't think feature creep would have improved the product.
But the more important thing in this context is you had no justification for coming in so rude on a video that is about inclusion and bringing more people into console gaming. This could be watched by parents of gamers or gamers with complex physical and learning needs who have never had the opportunity to game before. The question is valid and you chose to be unkind.
@@PrinceRules64 ok mom 🙄
I put alot of input to a joystick and that one looks very weak at best 😢
Does this work on the PS4 by any chance?
I'm Glad PS also including others , great move . Just emagin yourself with mobility complications , gets pretty boring and stressful if you can't have a moment to let loose in another world
You can, but it's going to be bejeweled on mobile lmao
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?
Same left side weak. Got t my head s5 before the affliction. Haven’t been able this play since the stroke. I’m fray now s and best wishes she’s to your u!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
my brother has only 1 functional hand to use, is it possible to play with this controller with only 1 hand?
This would be great for Diablo games
Is there a dpad? This would be sick for tf2 demoknighting
Im thinking this would be a great addition to a flight simulator setup... just need someone to test it out for me :P
is this pc compatible?
Unfortunate that this isn’t really a solution for people who only have use of one hand. It’s definitely a step in the right direction though
It will still work. You can rest your forearm on the joystick to control movement and then the good hand for everything else
@@johndodo2062Not if you literally only have one hand. Or a hand that is completely inoperable.
@@bradleyblake7588why not use stump tho or whatever skin you have that comes to a point… I could see it working.
Agreed. My son has a brain tumor which has caused it to lose use of his right arm. He needs something for only 1 hand
Hmm my new fighting arcade stick?
I’d like to use it for fighting games
WHY is this being reviewed by able body people?
Bro i been gaming since 1977 at 3 years old with Atari 2600. Thats 46 years of gaming. Just last month my left hand the thumb and pinky finger joints both started to give me excruciating pain. The joints im thinking the tendons are torn. So im for the first time having to quit gaming i fear. But maybe this controller might help me to continue. So i an probably the only 46 years of gaming nerd in the world. And hardcore. But just a headsup, that if you game for 46 years, the joints in your left hand , specifically the thumb and pinky , the tendons tear. Even more specifically, the first joint from the tip of those fingers. Looking at your left hand, the thumb and pinky are at opposite ends , the 3 middle fingers are fine. But i figure the reason the thumb and pinky joints tendons get torn is because those 2 fingers are the ones that actually grip the controller more then the other fingers. So it makes sense that thumb and pinky fingers get messed up. Anyways. ✌️
probably the only 46 years of gaming nerd in the world? Dude you're a baby compared to me. Keep on gaming. I bet I'll game if I'm able to make it to 99.
@@CA-tk8ynboth of you chumps are kids. Im 89...
There are finger exercises you can do that will stop this from happening. They might even help strengthen your fingers, and get you back to feeling significantly less pain again. Hopefully that can help you out.
how does a one handed person use this? My son spent his own money on this and we cant figure it out
Very nice thank you but I'm not buy this new. I don't know how first time
Hows the arcade stick? Honestly just looking for a cheap alternative for shmups and sidescrollers. Looks perfect!
I'm using this for SF6 just because ahahaha!
Looks easy to use but incredibly hard to set up! 😅
I'm Disabled and I use Nintendo Switch Joy Cons to play games now.
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
Be cool for train sim world 🙂
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.
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.
Why is the the knew fighting game stick. Coping it.
Does it work for Fortnite?
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 have to say this is a great idea. I just wish Sony would do more for accessibility. I am a visually impaired gamer and I have to say Sony’s accessibility features for the visually impaired are not great.
For the past few years, their first party games have been some of the most accessible on the market. Starting from Last of Us II, and then the remake of Last of Us, part 1
@@DavidEsotica I agree the games have great accessibility features. The PS5 however, not great. Especially for the visually impaired.
See better 😁👍
@@michaelboys2602not tying to .ake fun of you but have you tried using voice commands is the interface is difficult for you to use?
@@Kurt_Blowbrain some people cannot just see better. This is why accessibility exists.
Crazy how the accessibility controller is more expensive than other controllers...making it less accessible
Crazy? So you want Sony too lose money ? Wont work sadly, but why doesn't the government pay the for the difference is crazy and discriminating
@Noname-km3zx I mean I didn't say I wanted them to lose money. It was more of a joke than anything about the pricing just making it less accessible, I know this controller has a lot more that had to go into it for the higher price
I do think $90 is a bit much though
@@codysvlogdays Ait
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
😂😂😂😂 or use a keyboard/mouse setup 🤯
isn't this one so complex
Its not quite there but good but cant wait to see more doesnt help with people with one hand.useless for me sadly😢
Racing sims get a racing sim...anything else play joystick kbm
The playstation plumbis looks great! Now with 30% more spleem.
so confusing to press the button...hahahaaha no thanks...
Let us celebrate this!
EVERYONE DESERVES TO GAME!!!
Really needs to be useable with only one hand otherwise this is completely useless
;DDDDD
I need to see it being used with someone with a disability, preferably someone who can only use one hand . This demo is totally useless to me.
It's not useless for people who are buying it just to have it or have simpler hand issues, like me. There are other demos out already by people who have disabilities.
I’m a disabled gamer and can only use my left arm and hand. I too was looking forward to seeing a disabled person use this.
Have pre ordered as gaming is going to be (hopefully) a lot more comfortable than sticking down my PS5 controller with blu tac.
@@TwitchVOthat's not what they were talking about. They were talking about it being useless to 1-handed people
@@Heggchandwichthat’s not what he said at all
@@jamesarmstrong9200 ok
I dont see how this is going to be easier for anyone
Oh it will be. I have a incomplete spinal cord injury and I have limited use of my arms but my fingers can't work. This looks awesome. I think I'm going to start saving rn. Lol. Even if it's $10-$20 a month,it's possible.
@@twilson5001 same boat for me but don't understand how its possible to go forward and turn side to side with the adapted controller as its just one joystick
@@Toochilledtocare-_- yeah it'll be difficult. I think there's a second joystick that comes with or that you can purchase. At least we'll be able to play gta,some racing games,and idk if it's available for ps5 but I really want to play some Tony Hawks pro skater.
@@twilson5001 my issue is with shooters. if we have two hands operating each joystick then we can possibly hit the buttons at the same time to shoot, crouch and jump. it would make more sense if the movement was bound to the buttons like wasd on the keyboard
I have a physical disability but I can do things this controller it's what people with a use with two hands I don't have a use with two hands only one, I can play with my PS5 controller just fine I play with two fingers on my controller with any game des access controller is not the solution for people with disabilities they are not thinking out of the box yet they need to make a controller game developers or need to stop making games with accessibility features so we can change the buttons this controller will do crap for me and other players with use of one arm and use of one hand this controller is good for people with disabilities with two arms into hands this is useless PlayStation sorry to say sorry for all my mess ups on my spelling talking into my phone Google needs to make a better speak to speech app it sucks
Nice joke in title 🤣
still no use for onehanded gamer... so GREAT work Sony...
First
uhh doesnt look very Comfortable, not for me..
Make it pc compatible or else they really don't care.
Useless...
How
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
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 think is stupid controller..i won't be buying that..$90 no thanks.
