Here's further details on their incoming PS5 Access Controller from SIE Brand, Hardware and Peripherals VP Isabelle Tomatis to quote:

The Access controller lets you customize your layout with different button and stick caps in various shapes and designs, operate the controller from any 360-degree orientation, and connect third-party accessibility accessories using its four industry-standard 3.5mm expansion ports.

On your PS5 console, there are many settings for the Access controller that you can configure to meet your needs. You can map buttons to create up to 30 control profiles, adjust stick settings, toggle commands on/off, or disable buttons altogether to stop accidental pressing.

You can even pair up to two Access controllers and one DualSense wireless controller together and use them collaboratively. Check out the video below for a sneak peek at the countless ways you can craft your own gaming experience through the Access controller:

i mean i can see how this would be useful for certain disabilities. me personally i like using the button swap feature on my ps4 that has a damaged R2 button, my most common swap is, L2 and R2 swapped to be L1 and R1. still pretty nifty and im sure there's a user base for products like this.
 
i would like a comparison from an actual disabled person.. which idea is better.. the one from microssoft or sony..

Nonetheless it's really nice to see more and more accessibility options..
