Building a Custom Controller Using Sugru

[YugieEX]

The part where Vivik said “when I stopped gaming, I realised how depressed I was” hit me harder than a brick to the neck.

I had a friend with Muscular Dystrophy who chose to pull the plug on his life support when he lost the ability to turn pages in books or play video games. He talked all the time about how if he could get a controller that didn't require much movement, he would have been able to keep playing games, and possibly keep reading e-books. I just wasn't skilled enough to make an accessible controller for him, and when I moved out of town, I found out a few months later that he was gone. So this video hits me personally. Ben, thank you so much for the work you do. I wish I would have known you back then.

Even in a video all about a new type of glue, ben still finds a way to use hot glue.

I almost cried when started talking in the beginning

G-d bless you. It warms the heart to see someone doing such a labor-intensive project for a disabled gamer.

This is the type of marketing where everybody wins, love it! Also Sugru seems awesomely useful!

[TheChrisLeone]

So wholesome.... Makes me feel like my problems are so tiny and meaningless, you did a good thing helping him. I hope he's still playing today

"Was I a good Hacker?" "No." "I'm told you were the best."

This helps restore faith in humanity. I love how much fun you had trying to make something that works for Vivek. The video of him using the controller is really heartwarming. Very nice work Ben. A beautiful act of charity.

Thank you Ben! U're Amazing.

Watched this video and then watched Vivek use the controller and cried knowing he is happier because of Ben's work. Thank you Ben.

This is how the New Ben Heck shows started! The new voices included when he speaks to him self in third person still awesome!

I alway loved helping disabled people when I can. I always loved molding, but I never put the two together. Wow Ben really opened my eyes on how I can help people In need.

"Let's get this sugru out onto the tray. Nice!" You're killing me with these Steve1989 jokes lol

Ben, I've been a fan for YEARS Brother.... I've seen you take on these design challenges making gaming easier for the disabled members of our community.... You Sir, are a hero.... you really deserve more recognition for the work you've done...but honestly, I guess being able to help those in need with specialty controllers and peripherals enjoy gaming is its own reward !!!!

Loved the little "let's get this out on a tray, nice" I love his videos

Ben, just wanted to tell you that you are a good human being and you did an awesome job for Vivik on the controller. Its also uplifting to see there are still people like you in a world where people just dont have time or care for others anymore. Thank you.

[JaredClarkBoaz]

I appreciate the work you do, Ben. Thank you.
