Who we are?

The University of Lincoln Esports Society is filled with passionate gamers. Some of them love to play competitively and play hard to win. Others just like playing these games for fun whilst watching the top teams battle it out. We all have something in common. That we love being able to play games.

• £5 can buy flexible fixings to enable a correct and firm hold of controller, joystick or button for safe and comfortable use.
• £10 could purchase joystick extensions, to potentially enable greater control of a thumbstick, with its increased leverage.
• £25 will enable us to deliver an adapted gaming setup quickly and directly to someone who needs it.
• £50 will buy a gamepad we can then modify in the workshop with low force joysticks and buttons for a gamer with weak hand muscles to use.
• £100 can enable us to buy a mounting system which will hold a joystick and position it for optimum use by a gamer to control it.
• £200 could buy a single handed controller to enable a disabled gamer to play with just one hand.
