Re: Playing XBOX with one hand is possible

Hi, I do not have a Brachial plexus injury but lost my left arm due to cancer ten years ago. I got hold of 'The Glove' for my PSOne off eBay, but could not get it to work with a PS2. However I recently found this controller;

With a little practice I have now used it on almost any PS2 game around, currently I am addicted to Burnout 3 and GTA San Andreas!
The only games it is difficult (if not impossible) to play with it are games where they use both analogue sticks at once (eg. first person shooters, Hitman etc.)

The site delivers from Hong Kong in about a week. I'm so happy with it I bought another one just in case my first one breaks (you know what those Playstation tantrums are like!)

Sites with one handed controllers for sale.

Here are some web addresses for websites that sell one handed controllers.
www.agetec.com has a good one handed PS one controller for $19.95 but it is only good for PS one games and just some PS2 games. A better controller can be bought from www.consolesandgadgets.com or www.consolesandgadgets.co.uk both web addresses go to the same website. The one handed controller they sell works good with ALL PS one AND PS2 games.

On second thought. You shouldn't waste your money on the controller from Agetec.com because it works for only some PS2 games. The controller from www.consolesandgadgets.com or www.consolesandgadgets.co.uk works with ALL PS one AND PS2 games.

When my son was first injured, we searched high and low for a one handed controller and based our decision to purchase PS2 because of this controller. At the time, it was $60 (it's much less now), and once we rec'd it, he prefered the standard two handed controller and is quite good with it. Here it is:

My brother only has his left arm. Will you send me some pictures so he can see how to play one-handed.

Thanks

I play xbox one handed. I can barely play with the regular xbox controller. I got the Logitech wireless controller and it made a huge difference. I could not play Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, or any other first person shooters without it. If you can check it out.
