People with disabilities often face challenges with video gaming due to inflexible controllers, resulting in less enjoyable experiences. Similarly, e-sports players struggle to reach the peak of their performance with standard controllers that lack necessary customizations for competitive gaming.

This innovative device features extensive customization options, enabling players to swap and reposition buttons. It also features rotational capabilities and supports single-hand gaming.
