They talked to her about how she plays with a standard controller and looked at her movements so they could work out the best way to make play easier.<\/p>\n<p>They started with a padded, velcro-covered lap tray and added a large joystick to act as the left stick. Four large button switches replaced the face buttons, and all the gear was run through an Xbox Adaptive Controller into her PS4, with the help of a Titan Two adapter.<\/p>\n<p>After getting used to the larger buttons, Sasha knew she needed the back buttons to activate her special moves on Tekken 7, so Jacob added smaller button switches to each corner of the joystick mapped to the L buttons on the controller.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha now has a complex but easy-to-use setup to make her gaming all she wants it to be!<\/p>\n<p>Whatever you do to support SpecialEffect with your donations, this is the kind of impact your support means.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sasha\u2019s brother now has a real fight on his hands.
