According to the new info on the PlayStation Blog, the Access controller is a highly customisable controller kit with "a wide array of swappable button and stick caps" which lets players "freely create different layouts that work for their unique strength, range of motion, and physical needs".

The controller can be used on a flat surface, oriented 360 degrees, or secured to an AMPS mount or tripod.

Sony says each Access controller will include:

  • Analog stick caps (standard, dome and ball stick cap)
  • Button caps in different shapes and sizes, including:
    • Pillow button caps
    • Flat button caps
    • Wide flat button cap (which covers two button sockets)
    • Overhang button caps (which benefit players with smaller hands as they are positioned closer to the center)
    • Curve button caps (which can be pushed if placed along the top or pulled if placed along the bottom of the controller)
  • Swappable button cap tags for players to easily mark which inputs they map to each button

 
Always appreciate the push towards accessibility, giving more people to chance to play videos.

Both Microsoft and Sony have taken great strides toward making their games and hardware more accessible. I hope the trend continues. ❤️
 
I'm glad we are seeing these companies help people with disabilities enjoy their products. Disabled people of all ages want to enjoy video games too.
