At CES today, Sony gave a look at its latest PlayStation 5 gaming controller, but this one is very different from its previous designs. Aimed at lowering the barrier of entry for players with disabilities, Project Leonardo for the PS5 is a highly customizable controller kit that has been developed with help from organizations such as AbleGamers, SpecialEffect and Stack Up.
The unique-looking controller does not have an official name nor a price attached to it yet, but Sony gave an in depth look at its features today. The unique design is said to help players with limited motor control, letting them use the controller for long periods and be accurate without much difficulty.
This is very similar to Microsoft’s Xbox Adaptive Controller, and a very welcome product for those with disabilities.
That’s cool. Are there FOSS drives for it?
If that is like the Xbox Adaptive Controller, it should run out of the box on Linux:

However I am not sure the actual customization will work easily (as it is done though a special app). Though retropie or other platforms should have in-house button mapping.,
