I broke my 5th metacarpal on thursday and my MWO gameplay can not be diminished by this situation. I had been using the CH Fighterstick and Pro Throttle but with my left hand casted I will not be able to manage the throttle effectively. Can anyone with experience let me know some workaounds or life-hacks to circumvent this dilemma.

if u have no trouble using the other fingers, then will a hotas like the T.flight hootas x a good option for u with additional analog seesaw/swing for the turn instead of using a keyboard.

or u can use pedals for turn ... and only controll speed with ur hotas.


BTW, get well soon :(

Hello my name is Bob. Thank you for calling Dell technical support my friend. Have you tried unplugging and plugging it back in?

In all honesty though, just pick up a Makey Makey and turn whatever you want into a controller! I have one that I use for making my job at work easier and more entertaining.

MakeyMakey made my day. I have seemed to overcome most of the hindrances by re-configuring my Fighterstick to some more obtuse controls. Now as I get accustomed to this layout I will likely have difficulty going back - in 6 more weeks.
Thanks though for the MakeyMakey idea I will be buying at least one just for fun.
