how does the hand rest on it again?
Post by: ILLusions0fGrander on October 24, 2007, 10:42:00 PM
i remember a thread a while back where a kid was limited to one hand i believe and he was trying to have people help him come up with something like this.
lots of gamers will be happy im sure, even some lazy ones who just want to eat chips while they play.

My first thoughts exactly, he was DRINKING when he came up with this! That's the only explanation for it. Well done for a drunken design though.

Looks like a nice concept, but I don't have gorilla sized hands...
This is for people who do not have use of both hands, so it is not made to be held in two hands. It was created to be placed on your leg while you are sitting so you can use your one functional hand to play Halo3.

Ok, I got that the first time i read it.. This is going to be mass produced, so I doubt they're only going for the handicapped user.

Ben Heck is awesome and I hope this does go into production of some sort because I know a lot of people that would appreciate a controller like this one.
Way to go Ben!

Good for Ben. And good for gamers in need of this wonderful device.
Two thumbs up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

You're missing the lazy ass ppl market as mentioned above. It was designed for a certain reason, but might be used in other ways. It's just my opinion but i see a use for everyone....I might even grab one when it's out.
Pfff...Watching porn on a 360? That's very upper class of you. I do all my porno watching in a dark laundry closet on a smart phone, so I don't get my ass kicked

Your a A$$, Did you know that 2/3rds of all house holds in the US have a game system in it and that 1 in 5 has someone that has a disibility. Just because you can use both of your hand doesn't mean that this is a stupid idea. How would you like to have to watch from the side lines because you had a stroke, MS, CP or maybe lost a arm or hand . I agree with ben on this theres a need for something like this, thats why Im doing the same. Im almost done with my one handed controller for the PS2 and I'll be doing the same with all the controllers out there. So maybe next time before you start running you mouth, think be for you speak.

I'd rather just not play, if i did I'd get pissed off losing at games that you need 2 fucking hands to play (which encompasses just about every game) Sorry but playing with one hand just isn't going to cut the mustard.

DEAR DAVE...!!
I didn't say this doesnt have a use... but the normal minority like myself born with 2 hands....
this is indeed a load of crap... im pretty sure its got use for disabled people like steven hawkins etc who have so much time on thier hands to play xbox 360.. and other disabled people and i warrent its use for that.. but lets face it dave.. you used my comment as a cheap plug for your crappy 1 handed controller too...
btw dave.. call me an "a$$" again and you wont have any hands.. and you will need controller to play with your face...
peace!

englishnamja after your second post you proved two things. your not only an ass but you are completely ignorant.. im guessing your maybe twelve or you sure act like it. but in any case you should get banned for the threats you made.
now back to the subject.. i would love to get a hold of ben cause i have an awesome idea how to make them intechangeable with the use of pin headers so no wires would exist

what kind of statistic is that? 1 in 5 house holds have somone with a disability. You forgot to mention that the majority of the people in this stat with a disabitlity have both hands.
I will be suprised if this product makes it into any kind of mass production. It just doesn't look very easy to use and I don't see much of a market for it.

OMG how thick are you?? did i say it has no value?? no! what i stated is.. it clearly looks like crap, nobody in thier right mind *with* two hands would find it useful, and its ugly.. what! should i get flamed for telling the truth?? I like to see a show of hands...
anybody one handed who would really be intrested in this controller.. fact is gary was looking to commint anyhow on this topic for the reason of plugging his website and his controller.. and YOU.. my little precious.... what the F*CK do you know about me.. how far is this banning people going to go..? cant talk about copy games, cant talk about this and that.. cant threaten... this is the internet.. FREEDOM of SPEECH! I tell you what.. why not ban me "pimpmaul69" Ill just make a new ID the day after called englishnamja2... blah.. go eat your cerial and stop dribbling you little cretin...mommys packed you tuna sandwiches and an apple today... goto school like a good little boy..

The majority of people do have both hands but that doesn't mean that they can use both of them.
englishnamja:
You just have to look at the big picture, people with disibilities are looking for products like these. None of the the big game companys make anything like these. You just dont understand because you dont have one your self. My son has a disibilty and by that it has really opened my eyes to this problem, it's that we need to help with this. One of my freinds has CP and has little use of his right hand, but can use his left hand just fine. Thats why my first controller will be a left handed one. Everyone has a right to their opinion but dont dis something that might help someone else. No hard feelings

thats fair enough dave,
im man enough to say sorry when im in the wrong.....
forgive my rants, but.. i think of myself as a xbox critic.. like a food critic i say what i really feel and think about something.....
thing is with big companys.. is if its marketable it will be made.. isnt that the way with any good business plan..? so i really think the market for single handed game pads are just way too small..
I like the idea of giving anybody with a disablity the hope of playing games or socialsing with other children thru gaming etc.. as a great one.. and i commend you for that.. but.. in all honesty ben hecks design looks not only flawed.. ( due to the fact the spacing of the buttons etc look way too wide apart.. prehaps ok for playing simple online games like uno, etc.. but for FPS games, car games etc.. the design is flawed.. unless your ambidextrous, or have the ablity to both sides of the brain at the same time to control motor skills on one hand this design is flawed...imagine for 1 second using a d-pad to look up, down, left, right.. and the other to strife left and right.. up and down, at the same time on one hand? chances are quite unlikely.. and then to compete with other people.. or the AI within a game? id guess and say imposable..!
Id like to help this project.. by desiging a pad myself...(sketch-wise) which i know for a FACT!! my design would enable somebody to be able to play a game... with the same speed, ablity and performance of an able person...
let me know if you want to see my design....
goodluck.

Seriously though, I could see where some folks could use this, and it's good to see Ben using his powers for the forces of good and not just to make a buck.
Right on Brother.

I agree the design is something I wouldn't do and to me, just like you, it looks hard to use. Dont get me wrong, ben does great work but its to busy. To play most of the fps your going to need to hold the controller, so I think and Im doing is putting buttons on the back. Like I said before I'll be doing a one handed controller for almost every system out there. It will hopefully be a whole line of controllers. If you really want to help and do some sketches, I'll be glad to look at them. Who knows there might be something that I haven't throught of that could help me out. Thanks for any help you could give...

I dont see how any one can knock this, if someone has a need for it; they can buy it
If the twelve year old's that are bitching dont like it, they doesnt have to buy it; not sure why one feels the need to flame the product.
seems like a great idea for those in need of such a device.

^^^ NOT trying to knock it at all, i just dont see how one hand can manipulate this product.
