One-handed Minecraft

We're lucky to be in an age where there are so many devices with alternate input options. It's awesome that you get to keep playing. Another option would be an arcade-style joystick - A "Fightstick" - https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Arcade-Stick-Switch-Windows-nintendo/dp/B08GJC5WSS, depending on your

Situation Norma: All Blown Up - General Questions and Discussion Megathread

OT leverless gaming controller / all button controller / hitbox (not my pic, btw. Just grabbed it off google) I talked here before about how I got an all button controller to help with my hand / thumb pain and I wanted to use it for ZZZ. I mapped the camera movement to a couple of buttons and it wor

Looking for arcade stick recommendations

I put a Semitsu joystick (LS-40-01) in my 8bitdo arcade stick and it was a straightforward swap. The base buttons seem fine especially for shmups but you could easily swap those as well.

Playing docked RP4P on the hotel TV!

Yoooo I just got the same controller and I just wanted to Dpad for fight games. I thought I would just be using a pro controller for all my other games, but I really like the 8bitdo for everything right now. Not sure why, but I like the joy stick placement of the controller. Hope you're digging this

Basic Beat 'em Ups?

I was literally scrolling through to make sure someone mentioned TMNT Shredders Revenge and Marvel Cosmic Invasion (made by Dotemu). Pretty sure both are available on modern consoles, not just PC - I have them on PC. There are similar, recently released retro inspired games for Streets of Rage 4, Do

Should I get a stick controller, a hitbox or a WASD controller for 2XKO

I bought the 8bitdo arcade stick for Xbox but could not get on with it for 2xko, even after setting the deadzone to 0. Building my own hitbox now with an arrow key cluster for movement controls.

First timer, wanting to get a fight stick.

Personally I'd avoid the 8bitdo arcade stick. It's cool looking and is far from unusable, but the design lends itself more to aesthetics than ergonomics. My complaints with it include: The stick/lever is position too far left and too low to give enough room for your hand and wrist The whole unit is

Arcade sticks recommendations for a newbie

For the money, the Hori Alpha at ~150€ is a really good starting point. It’s solid, feels good out of the box, and the best part is that it’s super easy to open and mod later, which is exactly what you want if you’re planning to get serious with Tekken. An 8bitdo arcade stick is also a pretty good b

What's the actual best leverless right now?

I have a fun collection. Corsair Novablade is next tier to the rest with hall effect buttons. The impact is when you press down it reacts, and when you lift your finger it turns off. You can also set the thresholds, but it's the only controller that can do button press based on direction and not jus

Ps5 gaming with no hands

I’m C5 quadriplegic and my wife bought me an 8bitdo arcade stick for Christmas two years ago. I use it both for the PC as well as on my PS5 with a dongle for it to emulate and read. Not sure exactly your function level, but I don’t have great hand or finger dexterity either pretty much close to none
