Eyo jus curious on some possibilities

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Used to be career musician, had carpal tunnel surgery and ended up causing focal dystonia in left hand, in result my favorite hobbies are not as enjoyable anymore. Music is out of the question but I still manage to kill time gaming. The problem is left hand is always spread into a spiderman hand pose and every damn game demands use of left shoulder buttons which I can't do anymore. I was just more curious than anything else if one could tinker up a foot switch/pedal similar to what guitarists use to make use of say a left shoulder buttons in general or for the mmo genre similar foot switches which could be held down similar to the properties of the shift key. Which would eliminate the left hand being needed in mmo universe if matched with a game mouse with 12+ buttons *i currently have one of those* I like to tinker with electronics but to be honest I break stuff more than I make stuff hah
