Ask Slashdot: Gaming With Only One Hand?

Posted by timothy on from the obvious-witticisms-are-obvious dept.

Hork_Monkey writes "I recently sustained a severe injury to one of my arms, and am lucky not to be an amputee. I'm an avid gamer (primarily PC, but also XBox) and looking for advice one how to adapt to the challenge now presented of enjoying one of my favorite pastimes. My google-fu has led me to some devices and tips, but I wanted to tap the collective while experimenting. I know there have to be some readers in similar positions who could provide some guidance. I'm figuring a few things out, and also hope to share what I find for others in a similar situation."

    It's the most fun a guy can have with one hand.

      Meh. Fleshlight plus internet porn requires two hands. Sure, you could compromise. But if you're going to do that you may as well try dating.

    Well, Slashdot is a good authority in one-handed computer use.

    Dude- I stepped away from the computer for a few hours.

    I am reading it, and I appreciate the feedback so far. In case you haven't read, it's a little hard for me to type so I can't respond to everything.
