FPS with one hand

The_KiD · 3 Nov 2006 at 15:11

I was out at the weekend and managed to slip and tear tendon in my arm. I now have to have an operation to re-attach the tendon, so left arm is out of action fow 6 weeks minimum.

Is there any type of controller that would allow me to keep playing games like BF2, using only one hand?

Belkin nostromo possibly?

The_KiD · 3 Nov 2006 at 15:27

Nostromo would still need 2 hands I think, so u could aim with the mouse

Is it really worth the effort?

Stock up on RTS/RPG/Point and click adventures and play those for 6 weeks

There was a 3D mouse that you could have used, but I dont know what happend to it.

Search for 3d game mouse in google.

Personally I wouldn't bother as you'll probably get mighty frustrated not being as good as you normally are.

Maybe look at some different genres such as RPG, strategy etc.

I'm using a G7 (I believe the G5 is the same, but wired) which allows the mouse wheel to be moved left and right.
Set those up for sidesteps left and right and put run on the right mouse button and you should be able to play. It just depends on how well you can adapt to the new button config.

Another alternative would be the PS1 glove, if you could find one, and a PlayStation USB adapter.

Your lack of uber-micro is... disturbing.

Keyboard/mouse combos give you a massive edge in RTS.

Try DDR. No hands!

Meh, that's not so workable in RTS but in turn-based games you'd do fine with one hand. Pick up a copy of every Civ game and veg out.

LoL, they made a glove for the PS1, didn't know that, wonder if it was better then the NES powerglove?
