Hi people, I currently have two friends who injured their dominant arm in unrelated accidents and mostly can’t do anything but sit around and watch movies.

I’d like to gift them some games to play with just one hand. Not the hentai variant, but something to keep them occupied with.

Both own a steam deck. One is more into cozy games like Dorfromantik and the other into RPGs like BG3.

One Finger Death Punch would be a good example as you can remap controls so you only need to press left and right on the D-Pad, but both of them don’t really like that game.

Do you know any games which can be played with one hand, preferably a controller or Steam deck? Using a mouse with your non dominant hand is annoying…

    If this is a long term thing, you might consider a left handed gaming mouse with programmable side keys.

    I hate to recommend Razer cuz their build quality has taken an absolute nose dive, but the only one I know of is the Razer Naga: https://www.razer.com/gaming-mice/razer-naga-left-handed-edition/rz01-03410100-r3m1

    Setting some of the side keys as WASD and the usual surrounding support keys (Q, E, R F, G, X, C) and you can play almost any game one-handed.

    The learning curve to get your brain to accept mouse movement and clicks with your left hand is annoying as fuck though.
