Akaki Version 3.1 One-Handed PS5 Attachment
INTRODUCTION
The Akaki One-Handed DualSense Attachment is a device that allows gamers to play games using only one hand. The device comes in both left-handed and right-handed versions, with illustrations depicting the right-handed version. The left-handed version is identical in shape and function but mirrored.
Components
- Bottom half
- Top half
- Leg strap clip
- Leg strap
Attaching the Device
- Insert your DualSense controller into the bottom half of the attachment. Align the headphones socket with the nub on the inside of the attachment. Push the area near the PlayStation button down firmly until the controller clicks in place.
- Close the stick-moving linkage on top. Clip the hook into the rear linkage.
- To attach the top half, align the rectangular tab with the rectangle at the rear of the device. Close the latch in the front to lock the piece in place.
How to Use
Rest the rubber roller on a surface or your lap and move the controller up, down, left, and right to move the second thumbstick. Push on the button extensions to access the buttons on the other side. Hold the controller in place and push down on the paddle to click down on the stick (R3/L3). The arrows on the face button extensions indicate which face button they correspond to.
Removing the Attachment
Remove the attachment in reverse order. Lift the lip at thefront of the
controller up to remove the top half. Open the stick-mover linkage. Pull the
front edge of the bottom half to unclip it, and slide the controller out.
Leg Strap
For more comfortable play, feed the strap through the leg strap clip, and
tie the strap around your leg. The pegs in the clip click onto the holes in
the roller at the bottom of the attachment.
Increasing Thumbstick Tension
To make the stick return to the center more eagerly, you can stretch a
rubber band or two around the hooks at the bottom of the attachment. One
rubber band doubled over two or three times gives a good amount of tension.
Button Labels
The device comes with optional button labels. If you wish, you can cut them
off of the connecting runner and glue them into the button extensions with a
drop of CA glue. Try out different button mappings first before deciding on
what order you wish to place them.

Notes
- You can remap buttons in your console’s settings (Settings Accessibility Controllers Custom Button Assignments).
- Depending on the game, you may find it more comfortable to map some of OX to the shoulder buttons, for example.
- Try swapping the left and right sticks’ functions to see which way is more intuitive for you.
