Smart Thumb Grips to Control Your Way

Standard controllers are designed for the masses, but not everyone has the same physical capabilities or hand sizes. Our goal is to integrate seamlessly with existing controllers, providing intuitive enhancements that don't require tools, disassembly of your controller or a degree in engineering to set up!

Gaming has always been about escapism — diving into digital worlds, battling enemies, solving puzzles, or just vibing in an open-world sandbox. 

But for a long time, not everyone could join the party. Adaptive gaming and assistive technology is changing that, making sure that anyone, regardless of physical ability, can experience the same frustration when missing that crucial headshot or celebrating after a perfect combo 😉

Thumb Soldiers Smart Thumb Grips are part of the new toolkit, with a modular system which means its easy to customise your controller's thumb sticks for different gameplay styles too.

The console-specific Knuckles (docking clips that attach to your thumbsticks) are compatible with a wide range of mainstream and adaptive gaming controllers, here's the full list : here

Empowering every gamer to unlock the power of play, we are breaking down barriers to using standard console controllers - take the strain out of gaming, whichever body part you use.

Once you have a set of Knuckles, you won’t need to buy them again for the same controller, you can just build up your army of Soldier attachments to control any game situation. 

Here are our top picks to reclaim the controls:
