What Gamers Are Saying About the Proteus Controller
It’s been over a year since we released the Proteus Controller. We’ve gathered testimonials from real users who have experienced the Proteus firsthand. Their stories aren’t just about a new gadget; they’re about regained independence, creative freedom, and pure, uninterrupted joy.
A Decade of Waiting, Finally Over
For Jaye (RevJaye), the search for a suitable one-handed controller spanned seven long years. After their previous controller—used for nearly a decade—finally gave out, Jaye couldn’t find a replacement that allowed for the marathon FPS sessions they loved.
“Then ByoVave comes out with, not only a controller that will work for all my needs, but will help out thousands of other disabled gamers with varying disabilities.”
Jaye now uses the Proteus daily, often for 10–12 hours at a time, and describes it simply: “When I say it works, I mean it.”
More Than a Controller—A Creative Outlet
For some, the Proteus Controller isn’t just a tool for play—it’s a platform for experimentation. One user was so captivated by the controller’s modularity that they spent an entire night exploring configurations before even launching a game.
“Part of me is starting to think I enjoy tinkering with configurations more than actually playing video games, haha.”
The ability to tailor the layout, buttons, and modules turns the controller into a personal project—a puzzle of comfort and efficiency that users genuinely enjoy solving.
Opening Worlds, One Hand at a Time
Lee, a one-handed gamer, found a new way to enjoy a classic favorite: video pinball. Using the Proteus, Lee configured flipper buttons, a digital plunger, and nudge controls—all operable with just the left hand.
“It has opened up a world of gaming that hasn’t always been accessible to me.”
Beyond pinball, Lee has adapted the same controller for RPGs and action games, proving that versatility isn’t just a feature—it’s a gateway to inclusion.
Why the Proteus Controller Stands Out
What makes these stories possible? A few key elements:
-
Modular Design: Users can rearrange components to fit their physical needs and play style.
-
Durability: Built for long sessions and daily use, as evidenced by Jaye’s 10-month, daily marathon.
-
Community-Driven Flexibility: The ability to share and replicate configurations means gamers aren’t starting from scratch—they’re building on the creativity of others.
