I am a disabled gamer. I play games with my right hand (that sounded bad). I have most of my keys mapped to my mouse. Logitech makes a gamepad for PC games. It is like 12 bucks on Newegg. If you use one, what brand/model do you reccomend?

Alright. How would this work? You only use your right hand for the mouse. That I understand so, would you be getting a gamepad to be able to bring the controls to your lap or at least closer to your other hand? Good controllers are getting rarer these days. Theres the Logitech Rumble Pad 2 - its wireless and then theres the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows. Its only sale on Amazon for $30 right now. The Logitech ranges in price - you would have to do some shopping. Could you describe the limitations a little more? Maybe I could help determine exactly what you need. If you dont want to on here then PM me. GamesterpheonixI had a brain tumor when I was young. My condition is called Left Hymnopsia. Very similar to Cerebal Palsy. I have extreme limited mobility in my left hand,wrist,fingers. Most I can do on the fly during games is mash a large hand-sized buttion. My right hand is normal just like yours. With my mouse I have forward/back, fire, strafe left/ right buttons mapped to my mouse. Jump/crouch (SPC +C) and other misc buttions are mapped to my keyboard. I have to stop and do everything on the keyboard right handed whille hoping no enemies pwn me.
I know this is way out of your price range but this is something that would do the trick:

Ill keep looking for something and Ill get back to you if I find something less expensive.
Edit: I also just found this but Im not sure if its just for the left hand or not:

I'm a righty.Well, I don't know how you would manage to play with a gamepad, but I have two gamepads. Generic chinese brand, they work very good and they costed $10 each.
Logitech is a good brand, if you really want a gamepad you should get it. You could also consider the 360 gamepad, it's comfy and it's pretty much supported by every game nowadays, though a bit expensive.
Also remember that you can use any gamepad on any game using programs like: Joy2Key or Xpadder. They allow you to map buttons emulating a mouse & keyobard.

Wow, Wslacker2 I'm sorry to hear that man. I was recently diagnosed with a Brain Tumor on the right side of my brain. I'm having surgery next month to have It removed. I give you alot of credit being able to play with one hand, thats awesome, to answer your question I use Mouse and Keyboard and 360 controller for racing games..
Do not let anything hinder what enjoy doiing. It takes a lot of getting used to with just one hand etc. Whatever you end up with any after effects from the tumor, just remember how precious life is. BTW, mine was on the right side as well. It affects your left side.Wow, Wslacker2 I'm sorry to hear that man. I was recently diagnosed with a Brain Tumor on the right side of my brain.
