Console Controllers

By BillGameBase


Quasicon 1P



This oversized controller can be used (when combined with the right adapter) with almost all consoles (PSone, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360). All the buttons on a regular controller can be found, aswell as all three of the joysticks (including D-Pad). Both the buttons and joysticks are analogue, allowing for accurate gameplay and compatability.

Extensions for the joysticks make the movement of them more sensitive and offer a larger area to grip.

This controller could provide a solution for those who find a standard console controller simply too small to be able to use.

Console Switch Interface Deluxe (C-SID)

The C-SID allows you  to use switches to play Xbox and Playstation. There are connections replicating every button (aswell as four directions available for each thumb-stick and the D-pad) on regular controller, allowing you to create your own switch layout using just the buttons that are required for a particular game. There is a joystick, which can be used in place or the left thumb-stick, right thumb-stick or D-Pad.

The Playstation3 - Switch Access Pod, (PS3-SAP) is their main product at the moment. It allows the user the replicate each button on a PS3 using switches. In addition to this you are also able to use custom joysticks (see images above for examples) to replicate the analog stick movements.

 This is only part of the solution however, and LEPMIS has an increasing range of accessories for this device, whilst also specialising in creating one off solutions for specific individuals.

Kontrol Freek

These simple additions give added performance to Playstation or XBox thumb-sticks, by simply clipping on to existing controllers. The FPSFreek  adds an extension to the height giving more accurate control using less movement. The SpeedFreek acts as a guide for the left thumb to stop it slipping of the stick.

The trigger buttons (R1, R2, L1 and L2) are moved to a larger format on to a box which is attached to an XBox 360 controller, for easier access for some players.



The triggers are moved from the rear of the gamepad to the front. The two small red buttons replace R1 and L1, whilst the large yellow ones R2 and L2.

These joystick extensions allow a user more sensitive movement of the analog sticks, whilst also offering people the chance to play with their chin or mouth. The button enhancers do the same.

Playstation 2 -  Consoles and Gadgets (£79.98 plus p&p)

The PS2 "One Handed Controller" is a brand new replica of the Dragonplus RPG DuoCon 2 controller, long since out of production, but a firm favourite with those who play console games with one hand.

This controller can be used equally well by left and right handed players, thanks to the intuitive layout of the buttons, and a D-pad on both sides. Using separately purchased
controller adapters, you can connect this to Xbox 360, PS3, PCs and more.

It is possible to get this working on a Wii too, but it will only work with games that are compatible with a "classic controller". This includes Super Mario Kart and all Gamecube games.

Overall, the build quality seems very good, it should suit most hand sizes comfortably, and the LED lights may assist visually impaired players find the controller on first start-up. 

In short, probably the best alternative one-handed controller for mainstream games consoles.
