"I have actually beaten Call of Duty World at War on normal difficulty [with the Versatility controller]" - Kit Windsor

I have been asked hundreds of times over the past two years for better gaming solutions. This has been one of our most challenging development projects yet, stretching out over the past two years, but the results in terms of modular versatility and playability are phenomenal! I look forward to seeing your YouTube videos!

He's using it quite successfully, moving the joysticks with his tongue using tongue cups since he has no head movement, having integrated a bunch of his own switches. Kit's Blog and Kit's MySpace
