At Novi we believe video games should be accessible to all, which is why we design software and controllers for Gamers with reduced motor control. 66% of gamers with an impairment or condition say they face barriers or issues related to gaming. Novi seeks to bring accessibility and inclusion to the gaming industry by offering disability friendly gaming peripherals. We provide gaming controllers that can be operated using one hand with limited strength and accessibility mods that bring accessible digital gaming experience to more users.

The Novi controller is an accessible gaming controller that allows you to game your way. Equipped with table top configuration, control settings, and folded configuration, it’s a first of its kind controller that aims to make gaming truly accessible & enjoyable for all.

The Novi mods are a consolidated package of software modifications that can be applied to any game, on any platform, to increase accessibility when playing your favorite games.

We hope that our products eliminate the barrier users may face when trying to play their favorite games.

We plan to run a social awareness campaign about disability in gaming. We will be seen on Twitch, Tik Tok, and Twitter and work with influencers and organizations who share similar values.

We can’t fulfill our mission without your help, we need support and resources in order to get things up and running. We will use funds to support the initial research and development of our systems before going to market and running as a self sustaining entity. By aiming to be a one-stop-shop for the spectrum of Disabled Gamers, Novi will cultivate a strong community bond informed by feedback and iteration to make our customers happy so they return and spread our message. With your support, we think we can help make a world where no one has to make compromises in their play experience or price to enjoy the games their friends do.
