It was built to address common challenges faced by many gamers with limited motor control, including difficulty holding a controller for long periods, accurately pressing small groups of buttons or triggers, or optimally positioning the thumbs and fingers on a standard controller.”

These components allow players to find a configuration that suits their strength, range of motion, and their particular physical needs.”
