So for years, companies have been developing new and creative options to bring gaming to everyone.

How Does the Project Leonardo Controller Work?

Making gaming physically accessible to as many people as possible presents a unique set of challenges.

Not everyone is the same.

Therefore, no one controller would be suitable for everyone.

The Project Leonardo Controller Has a Modular Design

Project Leonardo has a fully customizable modular design.

Each piece or part can be moved around to fit one’s individual requirements.

Furthermore, it can easily attach to mounts or tripods if necessary.

The software is also flexible, allowing players to tailor their controllers.

They can then save these profiles for future use.

This means every custom layout they create can be preserved and reapplied whenever needed.

This means gamers can use just one or even two Project Leonardo’s as a single controller.

If necessary, they can also connect another DualSense controller to get assistance from family or friends.

There is currently no further information regarding the price or release date of the Project Leonardo controller.
