Access Controller: one-handed PS3 controller, Xbox 360 version coming soon

We’ve seen customized game controllers, heavily modded controllers, and even ones that look like coin-op arcade controllers, but we’re pretty sure we’ve seen nothing like this one here.

Independent game accessory designer Benjamin J. Heckendorn (a.k.a. Benheck in the gamers’ circle), designed a controller exclusively for one-handed use. The PlayStation 3 console prototype controller has all the features a standard controller has and is configured for either handiness.

Called the “Access Controller”, this is the second prototype designed by Benheck. Its biggest draw is the fact that the five button area placements are interchangeable for either left or right-handed preferences. It’s also possible to switch them around to optimize its layout on a game-by-game basis.

Here are some images of the Access Controller in action, as well as views of it from different angles:

    

Innovative design indeed. Just how practical this new controller will be is yet to be seen. The unit is currently in pre-production for manufacturing through eDimensional.com. For the Microsoft fans out there, a Xbox 360 version of the Access Controller is also in the making.
