A one-handed game controller for the PS4 has been created for gamers with disabilities.

The special PS4 controller was created by modder Benjamin Heckendorn aka Ben Heck. According to GameSpot, the celebrity modder tore down Sony's current gen game controller and reassembled the left buttons on the right side.

The new single-handed DualShock 4 game controller is suited for gamers who are not able to use both hands in playing. Segment Next notes that the left analog stick has specifically been moved to the back of the right side of the controller and the L1 and L2 buttons were also moved to the right side.

This isn't the first time that Ben Heck has converted game console controllers. The celebrity modder has also successfully converted the Xbox One's controller to single-hand. Like the DualShock 4, the Xbox One's game controller also had relocated left buttons.

Ben Heck's single-handed Xbox One controller has reportedly been donated to the Able Gamers Foundation, notes GameSpot and is currently on display at the SXSW, says Segment Next.

As for the PS4's one-handed game controller, the modified device is reportedly for donation to a community viewer of element14, the Ben Heck Show which will feature the controller in full on Friday.

The celebrity modder offers free project downloadables for his past projects and allows other crafty hands to recreate and even sell projects so long as credits are given to his website and a "Ben Heck Reproduction" label is present, he says in his website.

Ben Heck also offers his services for the cost of $125 in hourly design labor rate for custom jobs. Projects involving the Xbox 360, PS3 and large laptops are estimated to have an average cost of $4,000 to $6,000. Custom 8-bit computer laptops (Atari, Apple, Commodore) costs an average of $3000-$5000 per project, enclosure / case for consumer prototype $2000-$3000 and small portables (2600, NES) $750-$1000.
