Since not every game can pass the, erm, one-handed test (DOAX2 does (http://www.joystiq.com/2006/09/23/tgs-doax2-passes-the-one-hand-test/)), hacker extraordinaire Ben Heck has one-upped himself (pun intended) in recreating the one-handed Xbox 360 controller (http://benheck.com/03-16-2008/new-single-handed-controller#more-355) he originally concocted in December 2006 (http://www.joystiq.com/2006/12/04/hand-it-to-heck-the-xbox-360-one-handed-controller/). The whole thing puts all buttons in easy-to-reach locations and the nice camcorder-style handstrap helps you hold onto it. The bottom joystick is intended to be played against your lap.
More details can be found at his website (http://benheck.com/03-16-2008/new-single-handed-controller#more-355); stay tuned for more information on Heck's upcoming commercial project, the "Access" one-handed controller (http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/24/ben-heck-unveils-the-access-one-handed-controller/).
