Question Kind of Controller

[pirate_tat87]

Hello, I am needing help looking for a controller for alternative movement from WASD, The reason being is because I injured my left hand sometime ago and i can't really use my fingers that well so when playing games that require PC keyboard and mouse, specifically movement even if I change my keybinds to ASDF its still difficult is there a type of joystick or controller i can use in my lefthand in place of WASD

Just based off a quick Google search, this may be worth looking into: https://evogameware.com/

They make a device which is basically the left half of a normal controller, so your left hand uses that device while your right hand uses the mouse still. Only issue I can see with it is the lack of buttons, you'll have to make sure you have enough buttons across this device and your mouse to control your game properly.

EDIT: I apologize, it appears to be on pre-order only now, not officially out yet.

There is also the Razer Tartarus Pro which has a joystick on your left hand thumb, you could theoretically map movement to the joystick and use the keyboard keys lightly as needed. According to some Reddit posts, programming/mapping it for games can be difficult, and I can imagine the same experience using that Evo Gameware thing I linked above.

If you know someone with a 3D printer, or maybe even have one, all you need is a cross (size of A - D) and (width of W-S) down stems about 10mm long and an upright around 50mm long. Glue it to your AWSD keys and it will be like a mini joystick. Many years ago you could buy these for pc's but doubt they are still on the market. I would assume it would take a bit of getting used to though and keyboard rage would not be recommended.
