What the Heck: A One Handed Xbox Controller

Ben (What the) Heckendorn has done it again! He created a very cool one-handed Xbox 360 controller, per the request of a service member stationed in Iraq. You can view all the specs over at Ben Heck.com.

This baby has even got rumble, so it's a real, fully-functioning Xbox 360 controller for anyone wanting a 1-handed experience.

Something tells me Ben will be finding a way to patent this and sell it to the mass market (or someone else will) and it will be VERY popular! If not before year-end, then definitely before the end of 2007.

    This is pretty cool! Doesn’t Wii have this already? I prefer the original Atari controllers.

    VideoGameNut: You’re absolutely right. The Wii does have this already. It’s cool to see it taken to other platforms though.

    I too prefer the old Atari controllers. 1 button, 1 stick, quick, easy and simple. Now, there’s a LOT more to know about.

    This controller looks pretty cool, but if you haven’t lost one hand, why should you use it?

  4. 4. Phil Gerbyshak Said:

    If you have 2 hands, you might use this controller to multi-task with something else.

    Though I would imagine the people that get the most use from this would be people with problems with 1 of their hands.
