I cannot use my left hand very well. Normally for gaming I use a joystick. But a lot of games do not work well with joysticks. I know they make one-handed keyboards, can anybody recommend a good one of those or any other input device that someone who cannot use their left hand well, can use? Is there anything you can control with just your right hand or possibly maybe even a hands-free control?
Thanks

Have a read of this. I don't know if anything commercial exists, but it's worth a look.

I'm not sure to be honest, it's certainly an intriguing concept.


Quote:
My time with the nia has provided mixed feelings. The device is certainly a revelation as there is simply nothing else out there on the market that can compare. However I do wonder if the device is better suited to faster paced games where the action is non-stop. I wonder how the nia will cope with other popular online games such as Call of Duty and World of Warcraft where the end user will need the ability to balance the pace of their inputs. Games such as the Quake and Unreal Tournament series do lend themselves to a faster paced game and the fine balance of control, (e.g. being able to move a player slower) is less of a concern.

The one comment I can pass on the nia is that it is definitely not a device that will be mastered quickly. However as they say, practice makes perfect and that?s exactly what I?ll continue to do.
