Disabled Gamer Petition

[Feb 07, 2011, 10:04 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

This Video Game Custom Button Remapping Petition implores game designers to offer more options for remapping controls in console and PC games. One reason is to suit more players' preferences, but more compelling is that this was started by a disabled gamer who is unable to play Dead Space 2 due to the inability to map the move forward command to a mouse button, which would allow him to play the game using his head. This got started on AskACapper.com and there are more details on the Overclockers UK Forums. Thanks Mike.

I use RMB forward, Space backwards and left-right with W and E. this way you can leave all movement fingers in the hover position, and it leaves 2 available fingers over Q and R as well. I dare you to try it a few days and disagree that its a more sensible system than WASD With WASD or similar arrow-shaped movement keys, there are more fiddling, you need to move your middle finger to switch between forwards and backwards, and the pinky is left hanging above capslock/shift. Its a shit system, and I cant believe it's become the default Mhh, maybe i should try this too? its true that WSAD has the limitation that you need to cover 5 keys with 3 fingers... but at least that way you become a quick typist
