VinWarrior Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 ^Front of the controller^ Celebrity console modder Ben Heck has created a single-handed Xbox One controller mod, designed to be accessible for gamers with a disability preventing them from using two hands. The creation of the controller will be chronicled on this Friday's installment of element14's The Ben Heck Show. A teaser for the program gives a first glimpse at the unit, as do the images posted above and below. The controller, which features the left-trigger on its backside next to the battery, is designed for right-handed individuals because, "that's the most common request," Heck said. It's not clear if Heck also plans to create a left-handed Xbox One controller or if he will produce more than one unit. Heck is donating the controller to the Able Gamers Foundation, a charity aimed at making video games more accessible for those with disabilities. This is not the first time Heck has a created a single-handed controller, as he did the same on an Xbox 360 Controller years ago, completely overhauling the controller in the process. ^Back of the controller^ Source: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/modder-creates-single-handed-xbox-one-controller/1100-6416866/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 That's pretty awesome! Even though I can't even fathom how to use it or even be effective with it. Kinda brings a whole new meaning to the term "beat you with one hand tied behind my back". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Of Harts Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I guess you could say he'll beat his opponents... (•_•)( •_•)>⌐■-■(⌐■_■) Single-handedly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Is not JL Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 This'll be very useful for those who truly suffer the disability. However, I've seen people with one hand who dominate reaction shooters like call of duty using their feet along with their hand, so..... Maybe a feetroller next time?

That'd be interesting to see, but very difficult to use unless you had huge buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbrabbit Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 This is really great. Those with disabilities should be able to game just the same as everyone else. This guy should not be the only famous man doing this. Gaming companies should help with this too so all can enjoy there games. Who agrees? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi1176 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 That's pretty cool! Nice that some people take into account the limitations of the disabled. I don't think I would be able to get used to playing like that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
