Sony has released a new PlayStation 5 controller called the Access Controller, which is designed to be customizable for disabled gamers. It allows users to configure different buttons, triggers and sticks to suit their individual needs. The kit aims to help people who struggle with thumbsticks, pressing buttons, or holding a controller. Feedback from disabled gamers was incorporated into the design. While a step forward, some find issues like the lack of a right stick limits gameplay in certain genres.

The article discusses why developers commonly disable form buttons during submission to prevent duplicate requests, but how this creates accessibility issues. While disabling buttons may seem to prevent resubmission, users can still submit the form via keyboard. A better approach is to add a "data-submitting" attribute to the form during submission processing as this preserves focus without breaking functionality or accessibility. The article also recommends including ARIA live regions and status messages to keep users informed.
