I've had a fucking terrible day. I lost a slam dunk motion for a disabled client (I'm a US attorney) and I'm sick to my damn stomach. We will still win the case, but it'll cause her significant emotional distress before I do.

When I have days like this I try to donate to disabled charities or do some other act of kindness to balance out the "bad" I feel that resulted from my failure.

I know disabled individuals often have less cash than the rest of us. If you're a disabled gamer who can in no way afford this controller, but it would bring you Joy to have one, please respond to this comment and tell me your story. I'll buy a few for deserving people to help me get this horrid taste out of my mouth.

*Edit: or feel free to DM me. Whatever floats your boat.

Quite a few times seen the picture and always thought: "oh, a controller with huge buttons...ok i guess". Now I actually watched the product video and know why it is called adaptive controller, awesome thing.

As someone with gamer friends who aren’t able to use a stock controller this warms my heart. It’s really positive to see a first party accessory, hopefully Sony and Nintendo follow suit.
