Is there a controller for PS5 that can be operated easily by someone with hands the size of a 4 year old? It doesn't have to have the classic PS5 look, just needs to work with the PS5. Thinking like platformers and racing games maybe.

Unfamiliar with off-brand controller compatibility with the PS5, with the system being either modded or unmodded. But maybe worth investigating of 8bitdo controllers work? There's some smaller ones in the market, like inspired in the NES and SNES controllers.

    Second that. My kid loves the 8bitdo Lite controller, much more than the Pro controllers or whatever they are called.

    On PS5? The stupid google AI thing is saying I need a "Brook Wingman Converter" but it's AI, so I don't trust it.

    The Wingman is indeed pretty good at fooling consoles into working with controllers that they arbitrarily block. It lets you use an Xbox One controller on an unmodded Xbox 360, for example.

    Sorry, don't know about PS5, just mentioned in response to the other person. If you know PS5 can connect to a bluetooth controller it should work.

    Edit: seems like you need a dongle and that one may not work with all 8bitdo’s https://gameloopx.com/blogs/news/are-8bitdo-controllers-compatible-with-ps5
