Disabled Girl Needs Your Help

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Dear Ben,

 

I'm Paige-Elizabeth From St. Paul, MN.... I Love your show, I don't understand everything But i did take Basic Electronics in HS so i get most of that, & I've learned stuff from your show too. Well anyhow I am Disabled & I used to be a Gamer, until 3 years ago when my disability got worse. I saw your 2 Shows on Mods 4 controllers which was awesome... but don't think they'd help me.. I have barely any mobility in left hand, & in right hand i have Mobility, Dexterity, & strength issues... I was Hoping/wondering if you could help find away 4 me to play games again.. i can use a standard corded optical mouse on PC & an on screen keyboard to type.... i have no console but if you can help i'd prefer PS4 compatible controller. I really Miss playing Video Games... Now i can Pay 4 what ever you build up to $200.. TY 4 your time & Hope you can help!!

 

 

Sincerely Your Fan,

                 Paige-Elizabeth

    Hi Paige-Elizabeth,

    Could you clarify if you want a mouse that can emulate a PS4 controller or if you are looking for a way to modify a PS4 controller to make it fit your mobility better?

    Doug

    Basically Either/Either or the other LOL... but I have no concepts... the games i played Most were Sports like Hockey, Football, maybe some RPG type, Old school types if that helps @ all. my right hand i can use Thumb, Index, Middle fingers 4 Buttons... So A Standard Mouse with maybe 3 buttons for Index & Middle fingers So like 6 instead of the 2 mouse buttons & 1 By Thumb maybe use scroll whell for Start button? then Mouse 4 X Y.. I Hope this helps?

     

     

    TY 4 Response,

    Paige-Elizabeth

    It sounds like the easiest method is to embed a PS4 controller in a base that can be strapped down, then wire all the PS4 controls to new light-touch tactile buttons mounted in an ergonomic right-hand pattern. It would make a great project for someone with a 3D printer.

    What size buttons and spacing are optimal for your hand?

    Doug

    Hi Paige-Elizabeth! Thanks for watching the show!

     

    It looks like you and Doug have come up with some good solutions. We'll give it some thought - perhaps it's something we can make on the show.

     

    Ben
