Accessibility-Focused Gaming Controllers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 8BitDo Lite SE Supports Differently Abled Players

— June 17, 2022 — Tech
The 8BitDo Lite SE gaming controller is a peripheral for differently abled gamers to help them enjoy an immersive gameplay experience unlike what's possible with existing hardware on the market.

The controller is designed with a flat backside along with a nonslip mat to keep the device stable on a surface and accommodate use on a flat surface. Controller features like the L3 and R3 buttons have been transitioned to dedicated buttons for enhanced ease of use, which is the same for the analog sticks.

The 8BitDo Lite SE gaming controller features buttons throughout the design with decreased resistance to reduce the amount of pressure players need to apply for activation. A built-in vibration motor provides tactile feedback for touch-limited players.
