One Handed Wii-mote Mod

[panic!]

While we love gaming, it's often easy to overlook the fact that people with certain handicaps tend to get left out of the hobby. That's why reader Ryan Culy recently modded the Wiimote and Nunchuck into a controller that can be used with one hand.

Designed for a friend who lost most of his left arm, Ryan moved the "Z" and "C" buttons from the Nunchuck to the Wiimote. The joystick was separated and can be put on a table, knee, or foot, allowing the player to control it with his or her elbow.

Although Ryan makes his creation look and sound easy, we know the process wasn't simple. Everyone's favorite mod genius, Ben Heck, was so impressed that he featured it as his "Pick of the Wii-k."

Being born without hands, this is huge news to me. One of my biggest gripes with the Wii is most of the great games have to use both controllers and I simply can not use both. Now if I can only figure out how to do this myself....

this is very true, more and more mods keep coming out for the wii/wiimote. soon we'll be able to plug the controller into our brain and we'll just have to think the moves

are you talking about yourself panic? if so i give you mad respect for carrying on the way you do. isn't there a place where we can buy this modded wiimote cause i have a friend that would love to have this since he's handicapped also. if we can't buy it is there a way to find out how to do it yourself?

Yes I am, King. Since this was modded by just an individual, I'm sure he's not selling any yet. I wrote the creator Ryan and email saying what he's doing is awesome step toward making the Wii usable by everyone.
