Benheck's New Single Handed 'Access' Controller
Posted by XanTium | October 25 00:24 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
From benheck.com:
[QUOTE]
Today I'm going to show you all the prototype for the new single handed controller I have designed and built, which I've been calling the "Access Controller". This is actually the second prototype, a more refined version of the first. Alongside the new Elite-based Xbox 360 laptop (yes, it is coming) this has consumed most of time in recent months, hopefully explaining the drought of new projects.
Benheck Single Handed Controller Benheck Single Handed Controller

Here's the basic principle: You lay this controller on your leg, table or arm of a chair and all the buttons are available on the top surface. The gag is that each of the five sections is removable and you can plug them anywhere you want. This not only makes the controller work for both left and right handed use (simply mirror the layout) but it also allows the user to optimize the button placement on a game-by-game basis. Even if the user has partial use of both hands it should still be easier to work with than a standard controller.

This unit is currently in pre-production for manufacturing thanks to the folks at eDimensional.com and will first appear as a wireless model for the PS2/PS3, with an Xbox 360 version pending.

holy shit that is so bad ass.

i remember a thread a while back where a kid was limited to one hand i believe and he was trying to have people help him come up with something like this.

lots of gamers will be happy im sure, even some lazy ones who just want to eat chips while they play.

My first thoughts exactly, he was DRINKING when he came up with this! That's the only explanation for it. Well done for a drunken design though.

This is for people who do not have use of both hands, so it is not made to be held in two hands. It was created to be placed on your leg while you are sitting so you can use your one functional hand to play Halo3.

Ok, I got that the first time i read it.. This is going to be mass produced, so I doubt they're only going for the handicapped user.

Ben Heck is awesome and I hope this does go into production of some sort because I know a lot of people that would appreciate a controller like this one.

Way to go Ben!

You're missing the lazy ass ppl market as mentioned above. It was designed for a certain reason, but might be used in other ways. It's just my opinion but i see a use for everyone....I might even grab one when it's out.

Pfff...Watching porn on a 360? That's very upper class of you. I do all my porno watching in a dark laundry closet on a smart phone, so I don't get my ass kicked laugh.gif
