That crafty Ben Heck (http://www.engadget.com/tag/benheck) is always up to something, like whipping up an Xbox 360 disk changer (http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/12/ben-hecks-xbox-360-automatic-disc-changer/) for the laziest of gamers. But, on the latest episode of his hacking and modding show, Mr. Heck is back to helping those in need and crafting accessible controllers for the disabled. During the 15-minute hackathon, the modder extraordinaire creates two different Xbox 360 remotes -- a split model for those with limited arm motion, and a one-handed version (http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/ben-heck-throws-together-one-handed-xbox-360-controller-probabl/) for people with use of only one set of digits. If you've got a smidgen of soldering experience (and ideally access to a CNC) these projects are probably even simple enough to tackle yourself.
