I've not tried it myself, but there's an Alexa version of Skyrim that is played entirely via voice commands and audio feedback: https://www.amazon.com/Bethesda-Game-Studios-Special-Edition/dp/B07D6STSX8
I believe you can download an Alexa app to play it on a smartphone if you don't have an Amazon Echo.
Both UCR1 and UCR2 support driving the Titan One from a PC.
Currently, only UCR1 has support for mouse axis input, we are working on it for UCR2.
This would allow you to use any combination of controls to drive the consoles.
We also plan on supporting the Titan Two once the API is released. If you have a PS4, you may want to hold off for the T2, as it better handles the PS4 controller auth.
You can also do a lot of this without hardware via the likes of PS4 remote play.
If you read input from a physical xbox controller, then mutate it (eg swap button A for button B), then create a virtual xbox controller (eg using vJoy or ViGEm) with A and B swapped, the game still sees the physical controller plugged in.
This also applies, for example, if you wish the game to see an Xbox controller, but really what you have is a physical controller in your one good hand which you can only operate half of, and something like a sip/puff or a foot controller to operate the other inputs on the controller that you cannot reach with your good hand. If you used an xb360 controller as the real controller, we cannot hide the physical controller (That you can only use half of) and only let the game see the virtual controller (Which is a combination of half the physical controller, plus your sip/puff)
X360ce can remove the need to create a virtual controller, but it requires placing a fake XInput.dll in the game folder, which many games consider to be a "hack", and refuse to run, so this solution is limited, hence the need for the "hide physical and create virtual" technique.
I know of no way to "hide" physical XInput controllers from games. We can hide other types of controllers such as DS4 controllers (Using HidGuardian / WhiteKnight) but this does not work for Xbox controllers.
Hi,
I write remapping applications, and do my best to support disabled users.
I currently have an Autohotkey app called UCR, and I am in the process of putting together a team and working on a replacement written in C#
If you have coding / art skills and want to contribute, then please feel free to pop into our discord channel https://discord.gg/MmnhQYQ
It is a madcatz brawlstick, from the 360 days. I added my own joystick bat to it and changed the inside to be 8way restrictor way instead of 4. It has Sanwa inputs so much better than mayflash. They are like 70 used on Amazon. that is more than I paid back in the day. If you are into modding you can buy a cheap joystick case and change the parts out for better responsiveness. I get all my parts from Focus Attack
The only thing that is a real problem here is Xbox controllers ("XInput" devices).
Keyboard and mouse - we have Interception, meaning we can read keyboard / mouse state at a driver level, and stop a game from seeing the real state of the keyboard / mouse, and there is absolutely no way the game can detect it. We can then synthesise output as if it came from one of these devices.
DirectInput ("Regular" joysticks / flightsticks / Playstation 4 controllers) - We can use HidGuardian / WhiteKnight to stop games from being able to see that stick, whilst still allowing remapping applications (Such as my own UCR, or WhiteMagic's Joystick Gremlin) to read the device (And then create a vJoy virtual stick that the game takes input from).
So XInput is the only major fly in the ointment. At the moment, the only standalone tool that I am aware of which can alter how games see an Xinput controller is x360ce, and many games do not play well with that, as it effectively requires you to "Hack" the game by placing a fake XInput.dll in the game folder. Steam can also do this, but then you are limited to Steam's remapping capabilities.
FYI, to my knowledge there is currently no application which wraps all these techniques into one easy to use package, but I am working on that. I have a complete re-write of UCR in the works which implements Interception and is compatible with HidGuardian / WhiteKnight, plus supports Nefarius' new ViGEm emulation system (Which can emulate PS4 controllers as well as XInput controllers).
I am hoping to have a first release out sometime over the xmas / new year break, and will announce it on this subreddit.
I have been enjoying the world of table top role playing games using Foundry. Games like D&D, Call of Cuthulu, Alien. They are fun and social and allow disable gamers enjoyment. I am hearing impaired and have motor skill issues.

Hi, see UCR
I actively support use-cases of disabled users, and am in the process of writing a new version with many more features built in (eg support for voice commands as if they were a button).
The existing version of UCR is used by Barrie Ellis of OneSwitch to do "One Switch" systems (Operating games with very limited numbers of inputs) although he couples UCR with Joy2Key, but in the new version we intend to support this use-case with just UCR.
Hi,
I won't be at DragonCon, but I would like to reach out to you and offer what assistance I can.
I write remapping applications, my best known being UCR and one of my target audience is disabled gamers.
I work with SpecialEffect / OneSwitch to provide solutions for them, and am just starting a new project to try and wrap up all the techniques I have been working on lately into a new app.
I target windows PCs only, but I support the Titan One device which allows the PC to manipulate the inputs on consoles, so effectively I support Windows and Consoles (Xbox / PlayStation).
I am looking to build much more in the way of "Temporal menus" type support into the new version of UCR (Used for "One Switch" type operation) - see here for an example of the kind of thing I am talking about.
So to summarise - my goal is to make one application that will let you remap any input device from any manufacturer, and support various output methods (virtual joysticks, xbox controllers etc), whilst providing functionality that meets the needs of both able-bodied and disabled gamers, as there is quite a lot of overlap in the requirements of these groups.
I love my G700s :)
FYI, I have a free remapping app called UCR which will let you remap the buttons on your mouse in ways not supported by LGS.
For example, it would allow you to make your mouse appear to be an XBox controller. You could make mouse movement control the stick, remap the side buttons to the D-Pad etc....
XPadder Joy2Key [HIDmacros](www.hidmacros.eu/) (Project is dead, but program is still available) [Enable Viacam (eViacam)](eviacam.crea-si.com/index.php)
You could replace WSAD on the keyboard with a D-Pad or Thumbstick from an XBox controller.
I have an app called UCR that will let you remap joystick axes or hats to keyboard keys:
https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=12249
I do try to cater for disabled users in UCR, so if it does not quite fit your requirements, let me know and I can probably alter it to suit your needs.
Or you could use Joy2Key...
Also, if missing digits, you may want to consider starting to use your feet in games. Even as an able-bodied gamer I do this, I use One of these on the floor for push-to-talk, it cost me about £5. They also make dual and quad switch models, so you could move forward and backward to your feet, kind of like the pedals in a car.
An xbox controller on the floor also works quite well - click in one of the thumbsticks with your foot.

I bought 3 and this one worked the best for me so I returned the other 2. I unscrewed the ball from the stick and wrapped a rubber band around it a couple times so I could grip it between my toes.

I use these laces
I had a contracture with really bad tendonosis and chronic pain in my dominant arm. A vertical mouse actually helped me quite a bit, it keeps your arm rotated in a more natural/neutral position so your radius and ulna aren't kept in rotation so much. It can reduce strain on your forearm & wrist which can help prevent an RSI or possibly allow for better range of motion.
The thing is, it's pretty darn hard for anyone on the internet to say that what worked for them will work for you and your specific limitations/ accessibility needs. Fortunately, like the other redditor just said, Amazon does have easy & free returns so doing some trial and error is financially very low-risk.
You could also look into supporting your arm itself differently, I use this PTFE tape on all my mice, as well as on this wrist support brace so I can just rest my arm on it and have it glide over the desk surface with very little friction.
I'm not suggesting this particular solution will work for you but the PTFE tape is really effective at reducing friction and there's a ton of different bracing options and different styles & angles of vertical mice; I personally find the very upright mice too severe of an angle which makes me twist too far the other way, I'd suggest just seeing what angle your arm naturally wants to rest while at your desk and get something that looks close to it. However, the best advice I have is, if you can afford it or insurance will cover it, to find an Occupational Therapist who specializes in hand issues and get them to assess and recommend something. Good luck, I hope you figure out a workable solution!
I agree with anotherjunkie, you'll find PC is far more accessible and has more gaming options than any console. I'd definitely recommend starting there if you don't already have a console.
Can you go into more detail on his motor controls? How much control does he have over his feet? Is there a chance he could manipulate an arcade stick on the floor in front of him? You can get decent sticks for pretty cheap.
Any kind of button he could press with his foot would be very powerful paired with eye tracking software. I use a four foot pedal setup myself with a gyro mouse on my head and it lets me play a quite a few games pain-free.
Have you tried a switch lite? I wasn't able to use my friend's switch in handheld mode, but I'm able to use a switch lite if I prop it on something so I am not really holding it up. Usually it's just set on a pillow on my stomach while I'm reclining. That also lets me use my hands in a different position that's easier for my fingers.
Thumbstick extenders help my hands too. Like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YTPLPM8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Some games are also just easier on the hands than others. Personally, games that require precision and quick reflexes like platformers are never going to be doable with my neuropathy. I also can't manage games that use that right thumb stick a lot. Once you figure out the things that are hard for you, gamers online are usually happy to share if a particular game you're looking into would be a good fit or not.
I would suggest Wireless HDMI (not bluetooth) on any Desktop with a Wireless HDMI Adapter. Get the wireless version if you have Wifi troubles, because even though most have bluetooth connectivity, Windows updates and Graphics Card Driver updates can cause bluetooth to stop work at inconvenient times.
You can put the Desktop in the room, and use any monitor you would like. My friend mounted a 55 inch TV in her room, and would switch between tableside PC Monitor for graphic design and the TV for games/TV/Movies. I would suggest Wireless KB/Mouse/Controller or a Wireless USB to go with it. She ended up in and out of the hospital, and could have this setup in her hospital room, using hospital TV's in 5 minutes.
I've seen a few setups similar to this as well, which is what might be what your looking for.
For me, my right hand can't be used to play video games for the time being, so something like this but with a trackball instead of a dpad would be perfect for me: https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Tartarus-Progammable-Detachable-Mecha-Membrane/dp/B07754PYFK/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1DSTEM94W0U9F&keywords=one+handed+gaming+keypad+with+dpad&qid=1669052630&sprefix=one+handed+gaming+keypad+with+dpad%2Caps%2C239&sr=8-2
For some reason it doesn't really exist, which baffles me, but it's how it is.
I (single sided hearing loss) use one earbud and settings on mono. No feedback into mic this way round for sure.
I came across this blog while trying to figure out some kind of gloves to help with my hand/wrist pain while gaming.
Ended up going with the Dritz crafting gloves for arthritis. I can't really use them for more intensive stuff like boss battles (they seem to impact my dexterity a little), but I can wear them for most of my gaming and they help. Like, the pain is still there but halved.
If you're using a controller, if it's too big or small for your hands, getting one that fits your hands better might help-- same goes for a mouse. For a while, I was using a hand-me-down gaming mouse from my partner, and it's way too big for my hands, so I was overextending and hurting myself a lot. I'm considering picking up a smaller controller, too, since most are too big for me.
This joystick is what I use. I glued a wheelchair joystick knob onto it. It works perfectly for me. It's available too.

Hey, did some research for you. Would a wrist strap work? I cant find anything with a neck lanyard but I found some silicone ps4 covers with wrist straps. I suppose you could loop an additional line in the wrist strap to make it longer.
Heres an example of one I found on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Cover-Joystick-Playstation-Controller/dp/B07NKWPQ1M.
I cant speak to the quality (knowing amazon, id say low to low-medium at best). My search pulled the same item on aliexpress so thats probably the source.
Let me know if something like that works for you and ill try and refine the search to see if I can come up with a similar item but with some semblance of quality control
Joy2key should be able to. Just some games are weird how they recognize input from it. Have you looked into any gaming keypads? The Razer Tartarus (or off branded ones, there are a few on Amazon) is a combined solution that may work better for you.
trackball. I recommend Kensington Slimblades especially if you have limited functionality in your fingers.
I wonder if LEA Extended Input Gamepad on a tablet would be useful?
There are other options for using a phone/tablet as a customizable controller. Maybe you can try them without investing any money.
One thing I do worry about is, if it requires a program on the PC, will it be detected as 'cheating' app? I don't know the answer to this one.
I would suggest the lexip pu94. It has 1 thumbstick on the side, 2 side buttons, and the whole thing acts as a gyroscopic mouse because the whole mouse it actually a joystick. I used this thing for about 2 years and loved it, and you can get it for pretty cheap now if you look around: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXR35VN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_i_BENQ04GXHZC5NWK3D7M8
For more inputs which you'll probably need i got a foot pedal. You could go with a better one but this one works just fine. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B3PV47O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_i_0KKEYP2AG05VCDYJ34HP
How is the wrist itself? You could shift most of the work from your fingers to your wrist and elbow with an arcade stick. Use software like reWASD to map the stick to wasd, then use the mouse like normal with your right hand. If your wrist bothers you with a setup like that, a wrist brace might help.
Honestly, I think it would make more sense to have controllers more like the one I just got, the Razer Wolverine.
What would be perfect for me, a left arm "amputee".
I tried the Xbox Elite II for a couple weeks. The extra buttons on back either made it difficult to hold (right side buttons go where I hold onto the controller) and the left side buttons were difficult to reach without adjusting my entire grip. The Wolverine's buttons are ideally located for holding the controller with one hand and a short reach to all 4 back and crazy-easy reach to the extra bumper.
This is a great example of solving a problem in an unconventional way that people without the need would never consider.
Preventing the mouse from moving accomplishes the same thing!
https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/92055-mouse-disable/
I've tested this, you can use this idea to temporarily disable mouse movement so you can recenter your mouse without moving the cursor. (all picking up the mouse does is physically accomplish the same!)
In this example its a toggle that can be activated by two different joystick buttons, but you could customize as you wish.
For example, you could set a single key to disable the mouse movement and enable it when that key is released.
Awesome. It’s really easy to get the Xbox adaptive controller connected to the switch. This is the adapter you will need: MAYFLASH Magic NS Wireless Bluetooth Controller USB Adapter for Switch,Switch OLED, Windows, Raspberry Pi, Compatible with Switch Pro, PS4,PS5 Controller and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079B5KHWQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_X0THKYSF6QFSHYQ6FN5Q
If you want to shoot me a message with your email I can forward you the guides, or I will let you know when I update the post with a link to them this afternoon 🙂
some kind of thumbstick keyboard like this one, and just use your thumb instead of wasd
I bought this joystick . It's going to take a lot of practice and patience to learn to move the camera as smoothly as possible but I can already tell It's way easier than using a normal mouse would be. Another option would be to buy a smaller joystick and place it so that you can move it with the thumb on your left hand. I'm gonna try that in the future if I can't move my right hand as fast as I need
This is really weird, but it does illustrate some of the depths of just how much is out there. Keep looking until u find something that works for you.
Have you tried arm aiming with an ergo mouse ? ? ? is the question
https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Vertical-Wireless-Mouse-Rechargeable/dp/B07FNJB8TT/
Probably need to add some extra grip tape, but that should help keep your crosshair where you want it while you click
ALTERNATIVELY
I've had some success and may even prefer to move with my mouse B U T i fire with the keyboard. I discovered this on accident when I had a mouse break on me and my main click function was lost. I reassigned it to Q and my sniper shots were ON POINT like no other because i didnt have to worry about my muscles from left clicking moving the mouse at all.
I'm in a similar situation and I haven't found a solution yet but I ordered a joystick that I plan on using instead of a mouse for moving the camera and then doing everything else with my left hand on keyboard. If you're interested to know how it works out for me feel free to DM me and I'll send you an update. I've also been looking at this one handed keyboard but I'm not sure if it's possible to remap the joystick to act as the mouse for controlling the camera but depending on what it is you want to do that you can't do with the mouse it might work for you?
I saw someone mention the Razer Naha. It’s a great mouse, but for my money when playing a game I prefer the Razer Tartarus Pro.
Relearning will take some time, but this is built to handle everything from your left hand only.
When I game on PC, (which isn't very often anymore), I use a "small keyboard". It plugs in and you can move it to wherever you need it.
One Handed Keyboard One-Handed Mechanical Gaming Keyboard RGB LED Backlit SADES Portable Mini Gaming Keypad for LOL/PUBG/Wow/Dota/OW/Fps Game https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D6NTPWH/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_ANR85RF8G23KKW8AA1YR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
If you get a Titan One device, you can plug that into the console, then plug the control cable into a PC. Then fire up my UCR app.
You can then operate the controller on the console using ANY COMBINATION of inputs on the PC.
For example, let's say he only has a left hand - you could set it up so that he uses a controller in his left hand, and all the controls on the left side of the controller map to the console controller.
Then, for the buttons on the right side, you could use foot switches or sip/puff devices or something to operate the buttons on the right side of the controller.
Input can come from keyboard, mouse, joysticks, pretty much anything.
This is the old (AHK) version of UCR. We are working on a new (C#) version of UCR that supports WAY more forms of input. For example, the new version supports Tobii Eye Trackers for input, so he could use his head or eyes to control the right stick on the controller.
If you are using PS4 remote play, you could probably do this without having to buy a Titan One.
Just my two cents...
Please make sure that it is possible to use the device WITHOUT your software driving the outputs (Or at least in a 1:1 mode where each input operates one output). Each "output" should also be something that is easily mutatable (ie NOT Xinput! DirectInput or Keyboard are OK).
Why?
Because your hardware may well not be used in isolation.
If, for example, someone has a sip/puff controller (eg a QuadStick) plus a WalkBox, and they want to use a combination of both to emulate an Xinput pad, then only one application at a time can "acquire" a virtual controller (eg vJoy or ViGEm), so this would be impossible with either your software or the QuadStick software alone.
I am working on software that aims to try and provide the kind of functionality that would be possible with your software, but that is compatible with ALL hardware, allowing the end-user to mix and match devices from multiple vendors.
We do not have a public release out of the new version (A C# app) yet, but you can find the previous version (An AutoHotkey app) here. The idea is to provide one piece of unified software that can work with any device, and is of appeal to both able-bodied and disabled gamers, is extensible (Easy to add new forms of I/O, easy to add new remapping logic).
If you would like to chat, please feel free to join us in our Discord channel, HidWizards
One way of solving this is to merge the input from more than one controller (eg an xb controller plus a stinkyboard or some other kind of foot controller or something).
By default, this is not possible, but if you have a PC nearby, you could get a Titan One device, plug her controller(s) into the PC, and use UCR to drive the Titan One device, making the console think it has a normal xb controller plugged in.
ConsoleTuner has a Titan Two device coming soon with multiple inputs, and this could possibly allow you to do this without needing a PC.
I have one of these. You can bind the three buttons to whatever you want to, but I use left as the left arrow, right as the right arrow, and middle as space. That way I can back, forward and pause videos etc super easily. It's also useful as three extra buttons when playing games.
I got the idea from reading about someone using one for push to talk on Discord. It's a bit fiddly to setup the software, as it's not been updated for Windows 10, but I found a video on YouTube which explains everything.
I'm sure you can bind it to whatever key you need to work with your picture software.
You can play Steam games offline, as the other person mentioned, but you do have to reconnect Steam at least once a month (I think) to certify the licenses are still valid.
You should also check out gog.com which is a great alternative to Steam (also has a ton of classics like AoE), usually has no DRM preventing access to your games, very clearly states which games require internet access, and has full refunds for 30 days.
Also Banner Saga is one of my favorite series!
UCR will let you remap keyboard and mouse to a virtual Xbox controller.
Post here or on the thread if it doesn't meet your requirements and I will see what I can do to help.
UCR supports the Titan One device, so you could use UCR to read input from devices attached to the PC (eg a StinkyBoard) and send the output to the PS4 console.
If you have a PC and a console, and want to be able to do custom control schemes on the console, you can get a Titan One device.
My UCR app will then let you remap inputs on your PC (Joystick, mouse, keyboard) to operate the joypad on the console.
If you wish to stick to solely PC, UCR may let you do some mappings that you would not otherwise be able to do.
I don't tend to do work on a specific game - I provide the tools and people use them to assemble what they require.
All my work is generally to do with input manipulation (ie glorified remapping of keys), but I use AutoHotkey a lot, so automation of pretty much any aspect of the OS is possible.
Most of the work Barrie @ OneSwitch does is for one switch systems (Allowing games to be played with one or two buttons). You can see an example of that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXlRlEUQUoc
The project I write (UCR) is here: https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=12249
Hi man.
I also do similar stuff - I write an app called UCR which can do remapping using plugins (Which are just simple AutoHotkey scrtipts), and I have implemented support for the Titan One API.
I am also in the T2 beta program (Although I do not have a T2 yet - OneSwitch/Special Effect are gonna be sending me one) so please also feel free to tap me up for coding / advice.
I write a free piece of remapping software called UCR and one of my target audiences is disabled gamers. Whilst this software is for Windows, via the Titan One device, it can be used to make custom control schemes for consoles.
However I do not really have the time to write up how it can be used to solve common problems encountered by disabled gamers, so if you have any interest in making tutorial videos, then I would be happy to lend whatever assistance I can.
I recently started using the Playstation Move Navigation Controllers. I believe using only one of them and customizing the buttons could be a good option if you are wanting to hold one controller with one hand.
A really useful piece of software I use to customize controllers is called Universal Control Remapper: https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=12249&start=340&sid=2c21c92b5cdabaed375f3a409ff0b808
One idea you can accomplish with Universal Control Remapper is adjusting the analog stick to be the right or the left stick depending on which button you press or hold on the controller.
I code in AutoHotkey and write free scripts and applications for picky gamers and disabled gamers alike.
My main product is called UCR, and aims to allow you to remap almost anything to anything.
It also supports the Titan One device mentioned by Shadowcatt.
https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=12249
I have a rather extensive bag of tricks regarding input manipulation, and if UCR does not do what is needed, I often knock up a stand-alone Proof-of-concept script, then try to work out how to integrate it into UCR.
There is also a new suite of products in development (With initial releases just starting to happen) - check out ViGEm. This project will hopefully give us the holy grail of input manipulation - a way to make the input device (eg a joystick, or a sip/puff device that appears as a mouse) totally invisible to games - all the game will be able to see is the virtual controller that you are sending output to.
I'm getting some Azeron[0]-vibes here - I always find it cool to see ideas like that!
I'm also wondering as to how the buttons are gonna be pressed though, since I can see this getting quite into hand gymnastics territory^^
Although I should look at the key placement again, maybe I'm wrong :)

C1 C5/6 incomplete, and I suck at most games but I found using the logitech stick massively reduces pain and allows me to pretty much only use one hand with the right rebinding using JoyToKey - way way less expensive than the Quadstick.
i've found this: https://github.com/LorenzCK/OnTopReplica
this seems a little bit in the direction of what i am looking for. now i need to create a program that will display the buttons and hook it up with the ontopreplica program.
I'll let you guys know if this worked
Hi I see that you tried remapping software without success, but there's one youbdon't quote, AutoHotKey, maybe it would work? https://www.autohotkey.com/
If no, there's a last solution that I'm pretty sure it would work, but it's less convenient, it's Sharpkey https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys/releases
Sharpkey is a brutal remapping as it write it directly in the registry, that's mean if you change "a" to "b" your computer will understand you press "b" at its core, even before cyberpunk receive the information.
Good luck buddy
New version released - 0.0.18:
Implemented basic Titan One support.
All OutputButton / OutputAxis controls now support selecting Titan One axes / buttons.
I have implemented a "device-agnostic" wrapper around the Titan API, such that you bind an output to "Button 1", not "XBox A" or "PS X".
If you change which kind of controller is being emulated, but use the same profile, the button pressed should be the button in basically the same location on the new controller.
I tried to make the mappings consistent and logical, but they are arbitrary, so if you disagree with the mappings, please state your case and I can change them if the majority agree.
Download here.
You can use macros with predefined words and sentences. That's what I do when I play MMOs. I cannot type fast or speak, so I created some useful macros for the most used sentences when I play WoW. Whenever I need to talk, I just press a hotkey that automatically types and sends it. I don't know if GTA Online admits them but you can try with Autohotkey.

Also, the Controller Project is a guy online who makes accessible controllers and configurations. You might check him out. I used his services a few years ago.
From my example (limited use on my left hand), get a logitech g600 or a similar model for your left hand (something that has more than 5 side buttons) for Q, W, E, R, D, F, Y, B; a stick joystick like this model: link for Alt, Ctrl and items; maybe a pedals connected with USB to add more buttons distribution.
Most comfortable champs to play: Supp Tanks, tanks in general. Nautilus, LeonA, sometimes Thresh to really challenge myself.

Two things I can think of:
Is there anything wrong with something like this for pc gaming? If so, in what ways is it limited?

Thank you! Unfortunately, it looks like the tori accessibility controller is only available in Japan and the UK :-(
But the arcade stick is a great idea, and I found an even cheaper one with bigger buttons ! thank you :-)
This is what I ended up getting if any of you other foot centric players are interested
Sorry, I don't know of any.
If you have use of your legs, you might look into something like the 3D Rudder paired with a MMO/MOBA mouse? My own legs are too inconsistent to use one but I've seen others speak highly of them.
I use the StealthSwitch FS-2 with my XAC, had bought from amazon but unfortunately it looks to be out of stock now. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QJCAZ1M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Foot pedals for musicians might be an option as several come with the 3.5 plug
Ha, I've been looking for similar kinds of games and my to-play list looks a lot like the list you posted. Here's a few more:
​
You might also benefit from a setup like this to give your hands a break entirely. These days I use this pointer instead. It's rechargeable, the battery easily lasts a full day of use, and it has a clip that makes it pretty easy to attach to your hat/headband of choice.
Also, you can use the "Speedhack" option in Cheat Engine to slowdown single player games to a more leisurely pace. Helps a ton of you're trying to play real-time games using voice commands or just need to slow things down for comfort.
> I remember a while back someone made that by taping a cheap pointer of some sort to a hat. Can anyone help me find that post?
That was me! You can see the video I made here, which has a link to the original reddit post.

If you want to multiplayer game like this, be aware of a few things:
1) The lag of voice clicking will be an issue. You might consider using Talon Voice (free), as it's very low delay, but it's also geared towards programmers and in early alpha, so it might be harder to set up. Voice accuracy is also lower than Voice Attack, at least for me, but they are working on it. (you can also lower the recognition delay in voice attack to reduce lag, but the accuracy goes down too)
2) -Beware of neck strain! Take breaks when you can and do some neck exercises (head rolls and such) to keep loose. This isn't much of issue for me with casual PC use, but faster paced gaming is much more likely to trigger it.
3) The mouse pointer will go to sleep if you hold still for 10-15 secs. Then you have to press a button on it to wake it up again. They do this to save battery but it's an annoyance for our use case. Not likely to happen during active gameplay though.
Good luck!
I use the same setup, left handed Naga and had good luck with the 3d rudder.
Another option is to use a set of 4 pedals for wasd.
Yet another option would be to get some flight pedals which have 4 movements and bind one of each to WAS and D. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Pro-Flight-Rudder-Pedals/dp/B07R21FJD8/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=usb+rudder&qid=1618422793&sr=8-2. An advantage of this is if he wanted to play something like elite dangerous or other flight games one hand on joystick and feet on this would work well.
So, in case you aren’t aware, the PS5 will let you remap buttons under settings -> accessibility.
There are controller mods that add the remappable paddles you’re looking for like this but it’s going to add weight and they have to be used wired as far as I know.
It’ll probably be a bit before you can get a full accessible controller. They have to wait until enough people have a need for them, then actually manufacture them, and it all may be delayed by COVID.
Good luck.
Can you type well? My friend with DMD switched to an on screen keyboard when he lost the ability to type, he downloaded a programmable one with predictive text. Depending on what abilities you currently have, check out a mouse with programmable buttons.

Adjust the mouse sensitivity and dpi for your range of motion!
Molding plastic!!! You can shape it anyway you want. Let me see if I can get a picture of mine shared here. I’m a C7 also and it works great for me. I play COD Warzone, Rogue Company, etc.

Anytime I lift my hand the mouse goes with it. Here’s a link of the molding plastic I got.

Oh hey! I'm a disabled gamer AND I was on an advisory board, some time ago, to help create a mobile game for those with spinal cord injuries (like myself), cerebal palzy and more! It's called SCI Hard (Android) / SCI Hard (iOS)! I won't say it's the next best thing but I'm pretty proud to be part of it. Hope this helps!
EDIT: Spelling
I know this is late but give this one a try.
I know there's a few and they usually require installment not something on your PC. This one may have a more simple setup.
Let me know if it doesn't work and I'll help you find others.

USB foot pedals are worth considering, too
i unfortunately don't know the level of control (key binding, toggle versus momentary switching, etc.). that one looks pretty good.
the cost of a cheaper vertical mouse + foot pedals might be less than some high-end vertical gaming mouse.
I HIGHLY recommend this. It fits your requirements. I personally use this one. Mic is so good you can hear into my living room if the door is open.
I dont think your gonna find those qualities in a headset that cheap. but check these out they are really good https://www.amazon.com/Koss-GMR-545-AIR-Headphones-Detachable-Microphones/dp/B0759XHKQK/ref=pd_lpo_147_t_0/132-9291641-5673456?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0759XHKQK&pd_rd_r=096bea29-c323-4594-86cb-7e667dfb0673&pd_rd_w=zVV7T&pd_rd_wg=bHteQ&pf_rd_p=7b36d496-f366-4631-94d3-61b87b52511b&pf_rd_r=08WDTA34CH394VZN9R6C&psc=1&refRID=08WDTA34CH394VZN9R6C
Wow I'm totally the same way. I started with Quake (Mplayer) in 1998 (dial up!) and used lefty mouse with arrows. Took that all the way to counter strike and haven't really played FPS on PC since (am currently playing COD WZ on PC with controller). I bought a cheap gaming keypad to try out: https://www.amazon.com/T9-Singlehanded-Professional-Ergonomic-Gameboard/dp/B00QE1XH8Q/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8
​
Wish me luck.
Hey! So my right arm ends at my elbow, and I play shooters and mmos on pc using a controller and a left handed mouse with additional buttons.
Unfortunately, they don’t make the mouse anymore (razer naga lefty) but the one I have my eye on next is the Logitech g903. It’s expensive, but has more buttons than most and is ambidextrous.
What I like about pc gaming is more options to remap buttons. There’s a program called rWASD that essentially lets you turn a controller into a keyboard. I use a lot of modifiers like the button 1, Ctrl+1, Alt+1, Shift+1, etc. So if you’re able to only press a few buttons, you can put them together to have more, if that makes sense?
Also, foot pedals! There’s some on amazon that have been a life saver, easy to program, and seem very durable. I have 3 sets of these,
iKKEGOL USB Double 2 Foot Switch Control https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07553KW32/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kcpzEb717YZQW
I don’t know if I’m helping or not, it sounds confusing as I type it, but it works very well for me. And I’d be happy to share more if you have any questions, just send me a message. Good luck on the games!
There's a device for ps4 that lets you use Xbox one controllers on ps4. It's about $40 on Amazon right now. I use it, too. I've not tried it with the adaptive controller specifically, but it works with my Ben Heck custom modded controller, and the adaptive controller is supposed to function just like a standard controller, so out should work. You can get it here: https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Brook-Converter-Gaming-Adapter-Keychain/dp/B01GDVGQ48/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=xbox+one+to+ps4+controller+converter&qid=1569282630&sprefix=Xbox+one+to&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&smid=A263LSCPZJCHO0&a...
I'm going to try this out, I'll report back how it works out.
Would it be possible to get some sort of foot pedal? You said your arms are the hardest part, would your feet fare any better?
Here is something I found on Amazon that looks promising, although it only has two inputs.
Try air keyboard, maybe you can make a custom layout that would suit her.
This is what I use to control my pc L-Trac Glow Backlit Trackball
Good luck
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016E4RH1K/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 - just bought it, will let you know how it goes. Thank god my naga is still ok, I treat it like gold now, we need to set-up some kind of campaign to get the naga back on sale.
I can't speak to a jar opener, but this: https://www.amazon.ca/Chefn-EzSqueeze-One-Handed-Opener-Meringue/dp/B002XUUSFC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1519600958&sr=8-2&keywords=one+handed+can+opener is the can opener we have and my seven year old son (full left hand amputee) can operate it very successfully. The magnet at the front is perfect for lifting the lid out of the can and frankly I never want another can opener now that we've got this one and I currently have two functioning hands.
Something similar for jars would be awesome, though.
I did end up going with a MadCatz Fightstick Alpha.
I like it very much. It's small, but I'm small, and the stick toggle switch is exactly what I needed. I've been playing my ARPGs with it for the past few days, and it's very comfortable! Thank you so much for the stick control toggle switch revelation!
Mostly right side (use to be everything, but I was able to regain some minimal control) here! Can I ask if you've always been hemiplegic or is this recent?
Game wise, can I suggest Gunpoint? You'd need to swap between keyboard (movement) and mouse (everything else), but you won't be pressed to quickly switch between them.
Oh, and have you heard of the Stinky Board? It's basically WASD for your foot.
You could try something like the Razer Naga.
Looks like you can get n Apex RAW which seems to be identical to the 300, for £50 on Amazon. Couldn't you and another family member club together and buy it as a joint present to him?
A friend of mine has the Halo branded version of this headset, and has told me its a really good headset. At $64, it may be a good option for you. Best of luck to you.
Ah, I just bought a similar mouse for an entirely different reason, motion sickness! For righties who'd like the ability to make their mouse slower to prevent motion sickness (or faster if they can't move the mouse much!) there's the Logitech G600
I know a few people that use Unified Remote and like it quite a bit. It's primarily intended to be used to control home theater PCs, but in general it can also be used to emulate keyboard and mouse input. As far as I know, the keyboard it uses is actually just whichever keyboard you currently use in your Android build, which is really handy if you use an after-market one.
The one thing that makes it slightly unwieldy is that it's a two-part solution. You have to run the server app for it on your PC as well as having the actual app on your phone.
