Ben Heck's PS4 Accessibility Controllers




element14 Presents show

Summary: Technology should be accessible to everyone, especially gaming. That's why one of the popular requests received by the Ben Heck Show Team is to create custom controllers that are accessible to everyone. The current generation of games consoles have made this difficult, especially with the Playstation 4, and it wasn't until a recent third party controller came to market that Ben and Felix found an easy way to hack in custom parts! Watch in this episode as Felix tears down the controller and guides us through how they manufacture replacement trigger buttons and directional pad controls, while Ben shows us how to measure and model the controller as a design guide to create 3D printed or laser cut pieces. Then it's up to Ben and Karen to put the controller through its paces, what other controllers do you think the team should create? Or we should modify for accessibility? Let the team know on the element14 Community!
