Some gamers who use their mouth, chin or tongue to play their Playstations and can interact with a standard PS3 controller (often utilising a game's re-mapping function).

For some, however, more leverage and height on the control sticks and the option to position switches in various more 'accessible' and reachable positions is required to replicate the controller buttons, such as using Gimpgear's Chin/Mouth/Tongue Controller Setup which, aswell as having a switch interface which replicates 100% of a PS3 controllers buttons, can also include additional mounted buttons on the front of the controller as well as sip/puff controls.

Here we have created another option for a PS3 'hands free' setup (pictured above) made up of a combination of mainstream and specialist parts. Both setups do not include the PS home button, and can cut out when ejecting games. when it does it will need to be unplugged at the PS3 and plugged back in. All other available functions are shown in the video below.

- A PS2 Wired Controller (with rumble motors removed) - approx £13.00 (new)
