Flex Controller
The Flex Controller was created to bring the joy of gaming to more people. While developing the Flex Controller we worked with gamers who are affected by Muscular Dystrophy, SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy), Cerebral Palsy, and other physical challenges as well as medical professionals to create a truly inclusive product with accessibility in mind. This product was designed and developed under the supervision of Technotool Co., Ltd., who specialize in developing products specifically for the physically challenged. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who assisted with developing this product.
