This stuff always makes me cringe. Why fix something that isn't broken?

>This piece of shit costs $70

To be fair, I think the idea is valid. Easier/faster access to buttons on controllers, even if it looks dumb as hell, is a valid idea. Controllers are limited by nature with certain games, like you controlling the camera with your right thumb hurts the pressing of the buttons, and making a weird fucking claw is bad for the hands.

Controller ergonomics are not optmized for every game and gameplay. Nothing is perfect.

Stupid af

GO GET YOUR OWN CUSTOM CONTROLLER user, THIS ONE IS MINE

I agree, but 70 bucks for a bunch of levers that attach to your controller is pretty steep.

Seems like a cool way to develop carpal tunnel syndrome by the time you're 20.

>He doesn't feel comfortable using the claw grip

Obviously the modified controller in the OP is meant for certain disabilities, not able-bodied people.

What? No, it's meant so that you can press face buttons in FPS without moving your thumbs off the sticks.

Hobbies full of people who easily throw their money away will always have expensive accessories. I hate how crazy wealthy or irresponsible you have to be to buy even the good/non-retarded ones when you live in Zica Zone 2016.

>He used to love to play vidya
>Now he can't even use a controller because his hands just no longer move right or have the strength to push the buttons
>You feel like shit knowing he's spending so much time in hospitals just to know that he'll get out to deal with more and more shit
>You decide you want to do something to make things at least a little better for him
>You start to tinker with controllers, mess around with loosening buttons, modifying bumpers, changing the position of things, adding hinges and little plastic bars until eventually you ended up with... something
>It wasn't exactly pretty, but it worked well enough, and he could finally play vidya again like everyone else
>Hell, he even started to get pretty good, and most of all, he seemed happy
>Eventually this controller started to gain little bits of popularity and intrigue here and there
>Eventually a company by the name of "madcatz" contacts you talking about buying the controller and sharing it with the world
>Thinking that this contraption you've rigged up might actually be able to help more than just your friend starts to sound better and better
>You're filled with joy thinking of all the disabled people that might at least be able to play videogames again

>"MADCATZ AVERGER REFLEX CONTROLLER, PLAY LIKE A PRO, ONLY FAGGOTS DON'T HAVE THIS CONTROLLER, IT'S LITERALLY THE ONLY WAY INTO THE BIG LEAGUES"

>Oh.
>W-well, I mean I suppose it would only make sense that they should market this as best as they can, I guess they never really were anything but a peripherals company

>Years later a design meant for the handicapped to play videogames again is now synonymous with retarded tryhard 12 year old gaymers

Bad end

Florida?

Actual accessories for handicapped people are hilariously non-lucrative I suppose. It's sad that you can easily find so much non-important bullshit for normal people, but fuck the ones that actually need some help.

Hue

Exactly

It is literally designed for the handicapped

It's a little off subject, but I gotta shill for this FC30 pro bluetooth, duel analog controller. Only $36!
I wish there was an emulated game that utilized the twin analog though.

>ching-chong ding-dong
man, that takes me back

Is that that one kid who's a savant at call of duty?
Isn't he pretty much a shill?

>ching chong ding dong
>oriental
>or whatever
How many dank slurs can they fit in a title? *my sides

>Actual accessories for handicapped people are hilariously non-lucrative I suppose.
Obviously. When you make something for sufferers of a specific condition, you're automatically limiting yourself to... what, 0.1% of the human population? At most?

I don't get it, what does all that do?

I'm at work and youtube is blocked, can someone help me explain?

Suck my fucking dick, this controller is awesome.
