Omni Controller is a multi-functional competitive gaming controller designed for accessible one handed use.

Many social activities require the use of two arms. This leads to children and young adults being left out of social activities, such as competitive gaming. When you play online, you are only judged on your game-play ability, but due to the current market, those without the use of two hands miss out on the opportunity to socialize and profit from the growing popularity of competitive gaming.

The Omni Controller functions at the same level as current competitive controllers on the market. Using only one hand you can easily navigate the same number of buttons as you could on a traditional controller. Using the Primary Controller, you can access the majority of needed functions. A Tabletop or Step Controller function as the second analogue stick and are provided to match ability and more can be attached if needed. Either are chosen based on the user’s ability.
