I have the PC version of Dead Space and I can't get the mouse to move me
forward and if I need both hands to play the game I would have never bought
it. Does anyone know? There is no email address to ask tech questions. I
think I made a mistake buying this game. I bought Quake 5 Enemy Territory
and what a peace of crap. I guess I'll just go back and play Quake 4 for
another year until a game comes out that is as good as Quake 4.

I think you can but I've always liked hamsters myself, so that's what I
use. I heard geckos are used in most of Australia, and they talk funny
too like "nice going there moit". Bunnies are still popular in the UK,
but it's your choice, really.

Hope that helps.

I'm sorry but I just don't know what your talking about. For 15 years I just
used a mouse. The left button for moving forward and the right button for
shooting so what your talking about I just don't know.

And I honestly haven't used the mouse to move forward in those same 15
years... hated that. You've never heard the expression 'keyboard &
mouse' or 'wasd'? They refer to exactly what you seem so surprised by,
using your left hand on the keyboard for movement and misc actions,
with your right hand on the mouse primarily for aiming and left button
firing. Bog standard stuff for *years* in fps / action games.

As to the desire to play with just one hand, is this just a preference
or a need? I have a friend who's left hand is crippled, which would
qualify as a'need, wondering if that's your case as well.

That sounds like the Doom era of gaming. Time to move with the times my
friend. We now have keyboards and shit! ;-)

If the game does not allow you to remap your movement, this will: Get a
Logitech mouse (ie: G9 Laser) and install the Logitech software. Within
this software you can map your buttons (including the left and right click)
to keys on a keyboard. Very simple then to map your left (or right) to "w"
on your keyboard. I know this is not what you are looking for, but it DOES
work (I've done it personally). The Logitech software also allows you to
map different profiles depending on what process is detected (ie:
deadspace.exe, for example), and load the appropriate profile you created
that maps left click to movement.

Hope this helps,
Joe
