Slimy Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Just when we think our man Ben Heckendorn has floored us for the last time with his insane(ly amazing) console hacking projects, he pulls another stunning hat trick on us. Built by request for a serviceman injured in Iraq, Ben's single handed Xbox 360 controller places the four right-thumb buttons and right bumper at the middle and ring fingers, the right trigger at the pinky, and the left at the index -- but the most inspired bit is the left stick placed beneath on an extension, to be used as a fulcrum while the whole thing rests on a leg or other surface. And despite it all, it still has rumble. Just brilliant. Something tells us these one-handed controller hacks could be big sellers if mass produced. Ben, you laying down the patents yet?

SomeAzn Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Did you think that perhaps the serviceman lost his right hand? It was custom built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted December 4, 2006 Global Moderator Share Posted December 4, 2006 Does he know most people are right handed. can people PLEASE read. this was custom made for a soldier who was wounded in Iraq... meaning his RIGHT hand was wounded, if he made a left hand controller... wouldn't make much sense if he made a right handed one for someone who lost there right hand...

neoadorable Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 man you guys can be dense sometimes. i still love you as may gamer family, but man... yes, the guy either lost an arm or is left handed, and this isn't a commercial project, it's a custom order to help a gamer out. GEDDIT?! sombedoy give me that freakin double shot espresso! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+vlsi0n Subscriber¹ Posted December 4, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted December 4, 2006 No really, the article must has gotten people all'confoozed, reading is good ;). But the controller is great, and I think he should produce it for the people with injuries/disabilities [etc]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magik Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 lol, who bothers to read? :p (Actually, I did read it, but I skimmed through it and didn't see the second sentence) :wacko: Definitely cool of the guy to make this and if it works for whoever he did this for then kudos!
