A-HA!

And those two hulking flat buttons would what? be pulled towards you with your WHAT? while your fingers are on the 6 other buttons, plus the two joy pads(or whatever)while also hanging onto the gadget (upside down??) for dear life

I agree that using both hands every instant would be mind boggling and irritating, even if I had two hands that could hold on to it. Guess I'd better not bother to look for a game pad. Somehow I envisioned an actual PAD, something like a small adding machine face, tho with many less buttons.

Hey Zanthia,
Let me know if you get this and your opinion of it.
Always looking for something a little easier for my hands

Granny, There is such a device, Its called "The Claw". I purchased mine from Go Gamer. You may want to check it out.

Oh no Granny. You're supposed to operate all the buttons on the top of the gamepad with your thumbs. You operate the two buttons on the front with your index fingers. The rest of your fingers hold the gamepad aloft.

Of course when I use a gamepad, I have to put it on the table or in my lap and operate those thumb buttons with my fingers because my thumbs are too clumsy.

It goes without saying that I have difficulties when a game uses the buttons on the front. So I just avoid those games.

I have an old Playstation and a Dreamcast, which came with gamepads. I'd like to get a mouse and keyboard for them.

You're supposed to manage those with your thumbs too. Your thumbs have a lot of responsibility.

I have been a fan of Revolutions game sine Lure of the Temptress came out and loved them all except In Cold Blood which I did not.If this is the direction Revolution is going toward action oriented games,I will be no longer buying any of their games.Sad
