You've probably all heard of the new Nintendo single handed controller by 
now (see the IGDA forum otherwise):

Wondered if you have seen the following post from Carl Foust:


OGHC is a (very entertaining) blog about an old lady who loves games. She 
expresses some doubts here about the ergonomics of the new controller for 
people with arthritis:

Personally, I don't think it will be a big deal, since likely you will be 
able to use it perfectly with slight wrist movements, instead of swinging 
your arm around until it dislocates. Here's hoping you'll be able to adjust 
the sensitivity.
