Playing videogames without arms or hands? (self.disability)

My best friend broke both of his arms and wrists, and will have zero use for 3-4 months. I'm trying to figure out some way for him to play videogames while recovering. Maybe some kind of foot controller? A mouth controller?

He's feeling miserable from the pain and I know that gaming would take his mind off of it.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.

An Xbox Adaptive Controller paired with the Logitech Adaptive kit can get him most of the way there. He would still need an analog stick replacement. You can find some great custom ones on etsy, like from SevenMileMountain

Mouth controllers are crazy expensive and usually sold out. https://www.quadstick.com/shop

Sadly there is no one boxed solution for it. And you'll probably end up spending over $250+ to get it all together. The disabled tax is brutal.
