What Do People Have to Say About Doggone Accessible?
"I love [the WASD Arcade Joystick]. And when I’m not using it. I keep it by my one monitor since it looks so cool; And the fact you can’t just go to Walmart and get one like that makes me feel badass." -HapCapped
"I love how helpful and patient you are with your customers! If I needed assistance with anything, Cody was always quick to reach out! The craftsmanship of the [WASD Palm] controller is beautiful, and the color variation is gorgeous! If you are looking for someone who is very keen of details, you found the right person! -ebbinthecity
"I lost use of my left arm and hand after having a stroke in 2020 which left my left side very weak. I'm a keen gamer (PC and Switch) and love to play on our Nintendo Switch with my daughters but have struggled with most games. After spending countless hours searching for a controller, mouse, something, that I thought might work for me, I came across a recent post on Reddit (r/disabledgamers) from @VCRchitect (Cody) describing his prototype one handed controller.
When I saw this, I got pretty excited so I got in contact with Cody and we got talking about my needs. Cody shared a video with me of the controller in action, and at this point I thought “I’ve finally found what I’m looking for” so I got in touch with him to commence the purchase, and the whole process has been pretty seamless from there and Cody has been terrific to deal with.
Once the controller arrived, to say I was impressed would be a massive understatement! I couldn’t believe how much thought had gone into the layout of the sticks and key placement on the device, it’s brilliant!! I’ve been playing MarioKart 8 with my daughter and we’re loving it!! I can actually keep up with her (she's so damn fast!) and using one hand, can competently drift, jump, use objects, etc. and it feels great to be vaguely competitive again!
It’s definitely a learning curve to get really competent using the device and getting the muscle memory working but I’m very excited with progress so far, and it’s been a huge step forward for me. I’ve since provided some feedback on possible improvements which Cody has taken on-board, and it’s pretty exciting to see this product evolving.
I’m very pleased I was able to find this controller; it’s really made a big difference to my life. You can also use it on a PC, and using key-mapping software such as AntiMicroX (I use this and find it one of the easiest I’ve used so far) will allow you to remap any key or analog/digital stick to any other function you like.
Thanks again Cody, this controller is awesome!" -Eddie Jager
I found VCRchitect through Reddit, and after watching a few of his videos on YouTube, I couldn’t be more impressed. He builds custom disability controllers, making gaming accessible for people with disabilities or chronic illness.
The quality and care that went into my custom controller was outstanding. You can tell he truly listens to each person’s needs and designs with real empathy. This isn’t just a product—it’s a thoughtful, empowering tool that opens the door to play and connection.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a customized accessibility solution made by someone who really understands what that means, and has the passion and drive to make it happen.
