One-handed Xbox 360 Controller

Filed under: Gaming, Hacks, Handhelds

That son of a bitch. Looks like Ben Heckendorn, console hacker extraordinaire, has created a one-handed Xbox 360 controller. Not only is it the wireless version and ridiculous, it’s also for sale. Yes, Ben has decided to step outside his box of making one-off portable consoles and has created a controller that will be readily available for purchase.

For the low price of $130, you get a controller that is both unique and useless. You’re telling me you’re going to beat Mass Effect one-handed? Not when you have one hand on the controller and the other down the front of your pants.

I think this post misses the intended purpose of this controller, which is to make videogames more accessible to people who only have the use of one hand, which is a noble pursuit.

I’m no internet troll, but you really need to take your head out of your ass dude.

This will greatly improve the quality of life for someone out there.

Adam,

Not sure who you’re directing the hostility towards, but I do see your point. This could really open the doors to someone physically handicapped.

Thought I gotta admit, I don’t see how it would make it any easier than the standard controller.

Want to play video games but only have one hand? PC gaming is where it’s at.
