As someone who is disabled, having the traditional controller that puts both arms in front causes extreme shoulder pain for me, the handheld mode is ok-ish but i had to purchase a separate ergonomic grip case for my switch so my hands dont cramp and turn into dead spiders (yknow like when u spray a spider with a ton of lysol bc youre too afraid to get any closer then it shrivels up & its legs look like That™). Anyways, I absolutely LOVE being able to dock my switch and play with the joycons separate and relaxed on either side of me. I've never been so comfortable playing a game and was actually looking for something similar to get for my xbox so the controllers are split. I was thinking about using two controllers and mapping just the left and right sides but having the whole controller in each hand is kinda heavy. PS if any of yall know a way I can make that happen for my Xbox I will love you forever 😄😜 [description of disability: ongoing osteonecrosis, as time goes by the more I use joints, move around, the worse the necrosis gets. my right femoral head collapsed, left on the way, irregular edge of shoulder and elbow joints cause limited range of motion & prevent smooth movement. wrist/hand/fingers ache and cramp when used long & with non-ergonomic support i.e. joycons without an added grip case; just to give an example of what pain im in and hopefully tell what kind of accessible solutions would be possible for me & others like me]
