Designed in collaboration with accessibility experts and players with disabilities, the controller provides extensive customization options to help individuals create control setups that meet their unique physical needs. The controller features interchangeable button caps, adjustable layouts, customizable control profiles, and support for external switches and assistive devices. Players can configure button placement, assign inputs to different controls, and create multiple profiles that can be switched during gameplay.
