My bestie broke both of his arms and wrists two days ago. He's in his 20s, a gamer, has a pregnant wife and a young kid. Any ideas for gifts I can get to cheer him up? He'll have no use of his arms for 3 months.

Already got a bidet for him and hooked it up. Looking into accessible gaming controllers, but he said that the pain is so bad rn that even alternative controllers are probably a no go.

A life alert button as a joke

Maybe 1-2 USB foot pedals? There's gotta be at least some games that only really require two buttons (assuming PC), all I can think of is OSU! off the top of my head

osu requires aiming lol, "A Dance Of Fire And Ice" only requires 1 button but a lot of precision.
Anyways, one of these fighter game pads would be better:

But they still might be able to hold a controller depending on how bad it is
