----Included a vid showing exactly how the mouse is designed and how I game
with one hand ( MMO7... I don't even play MMOs, but I had no other option
really to game ) I made the video unlisted for obvious reasons.
I don't know if this is constructive criticism, or maybe I felt inclined to
just reach out and perhaps share a perception that you were not aware of. I
know Logan jokes about offending people in a lot of episodes, but i've been
watching you guys since that horrid red room you used to film in, and because
I care about Tek's existence and purpose, I hope you will care for mine as
well.
I've struggled with a disability for 26 years. It is a birth defect called
brachial plexis and has forced me to be creative. There are some things I
cannot do, like cut my steak, tie my shoes.... and that's pretty much it.
I've found ways to do everything else, including gaming, martial arts (Tang
Soo Do is expected of every asian in my fam) and any other challenges. This isn't really about me, so I'll get to the point.
There is a community out there that has to be creative. It's tough. Whether
that means playing FPS games using your toes clicking/aiming a mouse on the
floor below you and moving WASD with your only free hand, or just not playing
games... which is not an option.
Not asking for a new special (haha... see what I did there) topic or
anything, just an idea. Perhaps one day, you guys could do some research into
a mouse/keyboard set up that might help people like me, with the use of one
limb. Or something that could assist the blind or deaf. Technology is out
there... it's good stuff, very relevant and IMO would be a big help.
Just speaking for the other people that struggle with doing "normal" things
like I do. I joke about carporal tunnel in the video, but it's a real thing
after so many years with this crazy mouse design. I've run through 4 of them,
they are like 120$ - but before that I sucked so bad at any PC shooter I
almost gave up.... and that was back in the Counterstrike days. You know how
serious some of those players were. And this mouse was a freakin' God send.
Maybe one day serious tech augmentations/prosthetics will arrive that are JC
Denton-esque. Or I might just say fuck it and take a page from Barret
Wallace's book and weld a machine gun to my arm.
Until then, any tech help in the area is always welcomed. Thank you for your
time and always staying true to form.
