    Post Physically-Challenged Gamer Hacks Together Custom PS3 Controller [Slashdot]

    Destructoid has a neat post about a gamer whose condition prevents him from using a standard video game controller. With the help of a company called GimpGear, which markets devices for people with limited mobility, he designed and built a custom input device that makes use of fingers, toes, and even sips or puffs of air to control his favorite games. Pictures and a video of the setup are both available in the post.

    GimpGear? Man, what a company name that is, given their proficiency.

    Calls it like they sees it, I guess.

    I'd love to have that one-handed controller for my daughter (she's a hemi-kid), but $249 is pretty steep. There's also this unit designed by Ben Heckendorn himself , costs half as much and is wireless. (/fumbles for credit card...)
