Full left arm amputee fight stick

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi Ben , ever since i lost my entire left arm in a motorbike accident, Ive been heartbroken that i can no longer, engage in heated battles with my friends in games like marvel vs capcom 3. Ive come up with an idea about a fight stick in which the buttons would remain the same and the joy stick would be moved to a foot controlled device that, you could slide your foot into a secure strap and move the directional stick as you would normally. I feel this kind of build would be fairly cost effective and very functional. Id forever sing your praises if you could help make this a reality for me.

    Are you referring to the arcade style game or a console game?

    The easiest solution I can see is to take appart a model like you linked and reroute the joystick out of the box (soldering cables on the input where the joystick used to be). Build a box for the new joystick home, drill a hole in the store bought controller to pass the cables through and link them together. Of course, easier said than done but that'd be a solution. It's a bit hard to go more in details without an exact model to work on (also, I never worked on these kind of controller).

    Thomas,

    Such devices already exist.  Search for wheelchair foot control or foot controlled joystick on the internet.
