Hey all.  New to the forum but not new to the trials and tribulations of 1 handed gaming.  I lost the use of my right arm 13 years ago to a motorbike smash.  I thought it might be useful to some if I post a list of stuff I use to play games on my PC.

Logitech G15 Keyboard - This is a great keyboard with 18 (3 modes so really 54) programmable buttons, they can do anything from a single key press to a timed macro function.  This can also be useful for normal applications.  The keyboard will recognise what program you are running at the time (even by alt + tab) and load the profile you have set for that program.

Microsoft Intellipoint 5 button mouse - Standard cheap mouse with 2 side buttons.  I use this in conjunction with the intellipoint software so that the 2 side buttons are configurable.  For example in a FPS game the 2 side buttons are my strafe left and right.   Again, the software can recognise the program you are running and auto load a saved profile for that application.

I went through a stage where I was into a flight sim called IL2 pacific fighters.  For this I used a saitek cyborg evo joystick in conjunction with TrackIR and a neat little bit of voice recognition software called VAC.  VAC can be used for many many useful things but I just programmed it so that when I said things like "gear up" it raised my landing gear saving me from taking my hand off the joystick and pressing g on the keyboard.  Really you could pretty much fly the whole plane by voice if you wanted but you wouldn't be very competitive. 
VAC can be found by visiting http://www.dwvac.com/
TrackIR at http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/

I also have a PS2 to PC converter which I use for the likes of FIFA.

If you have any questions about my configurations or experiences then please don't hesitate to ask.

Glad to have found this site .... its comforting to know that "you are not on your own"

All the best,
Dave
