Help for older gamer

[oriuaren]

First I am hoping this is the appropriate forum as I

have questions about modern PC games.

I had an injury to my left hand that makes it extremely

hard to play modern FPS games, which was always my

favorite type of game. I really enjoyed the old Doom

and Quake games as they didn’t require much in the way

of left had action (two fingers are fairly functional).

A few years ago I bought Far Cry and Crysis and found

them practically unplayable, not only due to the need

for good use of both hands, but my reflexes are not

what they used to be.
Does anyone know of FPS games that use a mouse almost

exclusively?
I have been thinking that I may need to go to RPGs for

some PC gaming. Are most of these games playable with a

mouse or one with hand?
Any advice or list of games that might fit my situation

would be appreciated.

Have you looked into getting a mouse with many macro buttons on it? I had shoulder surgery and was unable to use my left arm for a couple months, but thanks to my mouse I was able to take advantage of its multiple buttons and play entirely without my left hand.

This is a good idea. I use a mouse from a company called Razer. The model I use is called a Naga. It has a number pad on the left side of the mouse, 2 buttons on the top left where your pointer finger is and then your normal 2 buttons+wheel.

Both great reply's.... consider getting a gaming controller for your PC.... these usually only use thumb and index finger.... it may help with FPS...
