Hardware news PS5: Sony is gaining accessibility with this tool for DualSense
Although accessibility is increasingly being incorporated into the specifications of the video game industry, much work remains to be done. One of the areas for improvement remains the area of accessories, where the levers are difficult for people with disabilities to operate. Something that gives ideas to the most creative.

La MonoSense
In a video published at the end of last week, YouTuber Akaki Kuumeri staged one of his own creations: the DualSense, the PS5 controller, reissued so that it can be operated with one hand. He uses Rocket League, Yakuza 0, and Grand Theft Auto V as examples to illustrate his creation. Thanks to a 3D printer, he built a kind of rubber suit, connected to “a shoe“behind the controls. With a support (table, thigh, magazine …) the movements of the right hand move the joystick, which in turn moves the left joystick. What about the L1 and L2 buttons located on the left side of the controller? Always thanks to his 3D printer, Akaki Kuumerin has built a system with which the two keys next to R1 and R2 can be migrated, the right triggers: “I’ve made the system compatible so players can aim with L2 and shoot with R2“.
To play It Takes Two alone
Akaki Kumeri explains that he had the idea for such a system when he wanted to play It Take Two, game of the year 2021 that can only be done by two. He therefore built this material with a Right-handed version and a left-handed version, Approach that he explains in more detail at the end of his video. In addition, the Youtubeur is not there right away: He has already made joystick adapters for the PlayStation 5, even cockpits adapted to virtual reality.
If this “equipment” for one-hand control is only available to those who have a 3D printer at home, such a creation could open the door to other innovations in the genre. Accessibility is a major issue in video games where there is still much to be done. In spite of everything, many paths of hope open up day after day. This is evidenced by the releases of Psychonauts 2 and, more recently, Forza Horizon 5, which are considered the most accessible Xbox game of all time.
