At CES 2023, Sony officially teased its PS5 accessibility controller. Dubbed “Project Leonardo,” the controller featured a circular form factor with a built-in customizable gamepad, tailor-made for gamers with disabilities. Sony has now confirmed that the $90-priced PS5 accessibility controller will finally go on sale in December.

The PS5 accessibility controller is designed in such a way that it can be used in any orientation. In total, the controller has 19 different-sized button caps and 23 icons that mimic traditional gaming controller inputs like L1/L2 and R1/R2. Similarly, it is also slightly cheaper than Microsoft’s Xbox adaptive controller, which was launched back in 2018 for $100.

It also supports up to 30 control profiles, allowing users to configure stick settings, toggle commands, and even allows users to completely disable select buttons to prevent accidental input.
