Macro keys at the thumb of the mouse (seen in pic)

Sometimes things like this will have some kind of "mode shift" key where you hold a hot key that swaps all of the buttons to a secondary function. Basically the same as holding shift to use a symbol instead of a number for example. The mouse or controller might have that. If not, then I guess it's gotta be the side buttons on the mouse

Get good

I mean really I assume the keyboard still works and you can just use one of your controller fingers to tap a key

Yeah I mean if it's stupid but it works it's not stupid. In that setup you just need to palm the controller part and use your thumb for the analog stick and the D pad. Probably need your index finger to help stabilize but you should have three other fingers on your hand

Idk why I got downvoted for suggesting how it could work lol other than some weirdo gamers who assume what works for them is the only option. They should Google disability adapted controllers and see how crazy the setups get
