I always thought that Easy Access should have a cdev associated with
it so I can turn it off in the Control Panel if I want to.  I like to
use it sometimes and I'm not physically challenged (mentally
maybe...), but when I play games like Continuum which uses the SHIFT
key to shoot with and COMMAND to turn , well, you can imagine what
happens.  At least if there were a cdev, someone might get a hint by
looking in the control panel.
