4 Essential Motor Accessibility Mods for PC Games

High input density, sustained button holds, rapid button tapping, and lack of gameplay pausing can create significant physical barriers for players with motor disabilities or chronic pain. Community-developed accessibility mods help reduce physical fatigue by adding pause controls, toggle-sprint bindings, automatic navigation, and seamless input-device switching.

Access needs and preferences vary among individual players, so customizable config files allow players to remap activation keys, adjust camera auto-centering, and fine-tune automated movement.

Pause the Game (Elden Ring)

Pause the Game adds an instant, customizable pause feature to offline gameplay in Elden Ring.

By default, FromSoftware’s action RPG lacks a dedicated pause button, requiring continuous real-time inputs even during menu navigation or physical breaks. This community mod assigns a single, configurable key or controller input to instantly freeze gameplay without quitting to the main title screen.

  • Type: Accessibility Mod
  • Supported platforms: PC (Steam)
  • Requirements: Offline mode execution (Easy Anti-Cheat disabled)
  • Limitations: Only functions during offline play to prevent online multiplayer synchronization errors or account bans.
  • Location: Available via Nexus Mods – Pause the Game

Auto Input Switch (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition)

Auto Input Switch enables simultaneous use and seamless hot-swapping between gamepads and keyboard/mouse setups in Skyrim.

Standard Skyrim locks controls to a single primary input device, forcing players to manually navigate menus if they use hybrid controller and foot-pedal configurations. This mod removes input locking, allowing controller button presses and keyboard/mouse inputs to register simultaneously in real time.

  • Type: Accessibility Mod
  • Supported platforms: PC (Steam, GOG)
  • Requirements: Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE64)
  • Limitations: Requires launching the game with SKSE64 enabled for proper script hook execution.
  • Location: Available via Nexus Mods – Auto Input Switch

AutoDriver Mod (Grand Theft Auto V)

AutoDriver Mod introduces automated vehicle steering and waypoint navigation to Grand Theft Auto V.

Driving through Los Santos requires continuous analog stick steering and trigger pressure, which can cause significant hand strain during long missions. This mod allows players to set a map waypoint and engage an automated driver to steer and navigate the vehicle at configurable speeds.

  • Type: Accessibility Mod
  • Supported platforms: PC
  • Requirements: Script Hook V and Community Script Hook V .NET
  • Limitations: Applies to single-player story mode and custom free-roam sessions; disabled in Grand Theft Auto Online.
  • Location: Available via GTA5-Mods – AutoDriver Mod

Stardew Access Keyboard-Only Play (Stardew Valley)

Stardew Access Keyboard-Only Play allows complete gameplay control of Stardew Valley using keyboard-only inputs.

While base Stardew Valley relies heavily on mouse clicks for precise tile selection and inventory management, this mod rebinds tile interaction, farming actions, menu traversal, and fishing mechanics directly to customizable keyboard keys to support single-hand or alternative keyboard accessibility setups.

  • Type: Accessibility Mod
  • Supported platforms: PC (Windows, Mac, Linux)
  • Requirements: Stardew Modding API (SMAPI)
  • Limitations: Must be launched via SMAPI to load custom keyboard interaction scripts correctly.
  • Location: Available via Nexus Mods – Stardew Access
