Strum with your feet! Ben Heck goes Guitar Hero

by Terrence Stasse { May 9th 2008 at 10:00AM }

It's been a looong time since the first 360 Laptop, and console modder extraordinaire, Ben Heckendorn, has been busy. His newest project is designed to allow users to use their Guitar Hero controllers with a single hand. The controller plugs into a modified Guitar Hero 3 Les Paul wireless controller, and operates the strumming and whammy. Placing ones foot into the pedal depresses the heel and inserts ones toes into the metal trough. Tapping your toes and foot up and down is the equivalent of strumming, and raising your heel is the equivalent of the whammy bar. Plus, they look cool. From laptops to controllers, you're doing some pretty unique things Ben, keep up the great work!

More kick-ass photos after the break.

This guy deserves a medal for all that he's done for the xbox community. Another excellent piece of work.

Nice selection of consoles he's got there too!!

Hell yeah I like how he has the HD-DVD drive mounted although that's pointless now lol. Also, is that a 2600 I see there?

I give it up to this guy, all i can think about is people with disabilities who can now still have a good time bc of this guys inventions, if there was a humanitarian award to give out it should definitely have him in consideration, and this is in all seriousness.
