hello, I'm a c4-c5 quad,my accident was 11 years ago when I was 14 years old. Prior to my accident I loved to play video games,that was back in the old super Nintendo days. When the new councils came out PlayStation 2 X Box and Gamecube I was totally convinced I was going to miss out. However that is not the case, I found a controller at best buy with a large joystick and big buttons that is compatible with all the new systems I mentioned. Putting the palm of your hand over the ball on the joystick is all you have to do, it's pretty easy to move the joystick around,and for the buttons all you need is a splint like the one you would use to type.the number of games you can play is limited,I've spent a lot of money on trial and error. The controller doesn't have every button that is on the actual controller, most of my experiences with the PlayStation 2,I just bought the Game Cube so I don't have much knowledge about those games yet.if anyone seems interested I will make a list of games that are pretty easy for quads to play.
it's a small world, but I wouldn't want to have to paint it ;)

I also have a KY controller that I only used a couple of times for sale. Great for a high quad. I just wanted a little more control with my arms.
