Yeah this is probably quite odd, but if you have an 8BitDo Micro then you may not have tried using it vertically in one hand. It turns out, at least for me, that I can reach almost all the buttons on the controller when I hold it like this, making it great for playing slower-paced games in bed, using it almost like a TV remote.

So I made this reversible handle so that I could grip it a little better and reach the harder to reach buttons easier. It's reversible, because some times I like to reach the dpad more, and some times I like to reach the face buttons more.

The handle screws in at about a 5 degree downward angle. The controller just snaps snuggly in and out of the frame with a bit of flex. I reccomend printing with a 0.4mm nozzle and PLA+ for a bit of extra rigitiy.

I'm not disabled in this way, but I imagine this might also be useful for one-handed gamers.
