[games_access] More on accessible controllers at HackADay.com

[Barrie Ellis]

Splendid news. There's obvious reasons why there's a high-price tag on custom made small run items, especially for businesses with physical premises. This stuff's also 9 times out of 10 going to be better built than home-hacks (with safety checks on top). That doesn't matter though. More brains (and there's some brilliant brains featured on Hackaday), and more solutions are needed far beyond the small number of people selling game accessibility gear at the moment. Especially so with the new generation just around the corner. 

Home hacking of controllers has been going on since the 1970s, but pushes like this on the WWW, from popular geek-hobbyist sites is going to help a lot I think.

They've done some other stuff on accessible controllers, but this was
a good article:

http://hackaday.com/2013/06/20/building-custom-game-controllers-for-people-with-physical-disabilities/

and embedded an AbleGamers video which will hopefully get some nice
publicity too.
