The One-Handed Xbox 360 Controller
No, you twisted, hentai wanking filth, this is not a controller made for Dead or Alive Xtreme 2. Put your debit card away. This custom wireless Xbox 360 controller, hacked by Ben Heckendorn, was made for a serviceman injured in Iraq. You might remember Heckendorn's previous custom electronics, like the Xbox 360 laptop and the Neo Geo Portable.
According to his making-of post, the device is controlled mainly with the left hand, triggers and buttons on the posterior side within reach of the four fingers, with analog sticks and d-pad controlled by the thumb and right leg.
Ben has seen so much interest in such a device that he's considering mass manufacturing. Let's hope that Heckendorn and company are successful in accomplishing their goal of getting more of these into the hands (or hand) of the injured and disabled, and that we're not forced into shaming controller manufacturers into doing this sort of thing.
Actually, scratch that. Console and controller manfacturers should be doing this shit, like, yesterday.
