This past December, I suffered a stroke in The left thalamus part of my brain. The thalamus controls mobility and sensation of feeling. I myself am a gamer and I used to love gaming, but after this stroke, I have been unable to use the controller for either the play station 4 or Xbox. I have since then Switched to pc, because there is our options available for those who are like me, who are disabled. If there are any of those here if there are any people here who are like me, I would like to share some of the options I found when a concerned and disabled gaming, and also, I would hope to hear from some of you, maybe you have something that I haven't found or heard of yet.
The first one that I would recommend is the Razor Naga. They have the standard right hand version, but they also have a special edition left handed version. Left handed version is wired, but at least you do have 20 different buttons that you can customize to whatever game it is that you're playing. The right handed version also has options that you can swap out whether you want to play an MMO or a pub G game

The second option that I found that was that I found very helpful, was the spellcaster voice app in steam. It's similar to the voice attack app, but with spellcaster, you don't go through a rigorous session with Microsoft speech, and you don't have to have Microsoft learn your voice. It gives you the ability to record your voice to attach a key binding to that voice and when you speak the word, which is whatever word you choose, into the microphone, it will act as if it had pressed that key binding. I have actually found this very helpful when I play games such as left for dead 7 days to die, sniper elite 4, and a few others... yes there is a learning curve, and it takes some time getting used to, but it is worth it
Currently, for my needs, the right side of my body was affected, so I'm trying to find peripherals that allow me to use my left hand. The ones I mentioned above are pretty much the cheapest ones that I can find at the moment, the mouse works pretty well, the website says there's 20 buttons, but I have only counted 18 but of course I could be wrong.
the company Azeron Does make some devices that is both either left-handed or right-handed, but the product is made by a 3D printer, so it's basically homemade, it's something that I couldn't personally recommend... plus the price is pretty high for those products.
If anyone has any other options or other products that can help people with physical disabilities, Please feel free to share and comment. I would love to see what other people have found, and. hopefully, be able to help me get back to enjoying one of my after work interests.

It's good that it has not stopped you from enjoying this hobby.
