Left Shoulder Closed is a YouTube channel devoted to showing how to perform common tasks with one hand, and it recently shared some great tips for gamers who only have the use of one hand. Whether people have lost an arm due to an injury, or have limited use or motor function due to something like a stroke, Left Shoulder Closed provides some answers to being able to game with one hand, and even adds that gaming with one hand could help develop lost hand-eye coordination.
This gamer shows his viewers a quick demonstration of how he games with one hand in an FPS, but he is not the first to do something like this, and will doubtfully be the last. He illustrates that he can run, aim, look around, and shoot only using his mouse. Earlier this year, a gaming dad managed to pull off two kills in PUBG with only one hand, as he holds his baby daughter in the other. He is also spinning around in his chair, much to the enjoyment of his daughter, as he tries to keep watch on the screen.
The latest Left Shoulder Closed video shares different ways to play games with only one hand. The channel's host likes to use a mouse with programmable buttons that he can map to movements in the game that he needs often, and he has movements that he uses less often, like crouching, mapped to a key on his keyboard that he can quickly move his hand to. Other than a few buttons, he uses the keyboard very little. He plays on a PC, which allows him to use a mouse and keyboard, as a controller would be difficult to map for one-handed use. He also suggests that a flight stick can be very useful, not only for flight simulators, but especially for people who enjoy playing sports games.
It seems that gaming accessories are key to being able to play games to their full potential when only one hand is controlling everything. This gamer has a programmable mouse that can give players full control no matter what genre of game they're wanting to play. Something like the Razer Naga Pro modular wireless gaming mouse is perfect for giving people full support in only one hand, as it has the capacity for twelve buttons on the device to be mapped to anything.
These are some useful tricks to know for people who only have one hand to game with. It may be a bit more pricey, though, as it might require some specialized accessories, but clearly there are ways for players with disabilities to enjoy the hobby.
