can i play these with just 1 hand (the mouse)?

Yes you can. But still have the option to use letter and numbers keys and sometimes it makes it easier. For example, when you want to give someone $250, you would have to click the up arrow 250 times unless you type in "250". This is the only time I really used the keyboard rather than the mouse.

not ACTUALLY programmable if i'm not mistaken. the wired version (the one i have) has 5 buttons if you include l/r/m as buttons. the only two "extra" are on the left side for your thumb. most games bind actions to them without a problem however.

Yes, all keys work and you can play more than one key at a time...I was playing chop sticks from the movie big (tom hanks) and it sounded great!

You can! You have to install the Corsair M40 Mouse configuration program (available on their website) but you can remap it to another prebuilt command or to emulate a keystroke.

No, but you can get X-Mouse Button Control from download. It's free!! It's great too

Yes, for the most part. W,A,S,D and later in the game, Q, F, and G are added (as you get more abilities). I had no problem playing with a mouse and these keys.

you can hot-key the 2 thumb buttons easily, but the "double-click" button next to the LMB is detected as the LMB in all of the games I have used it with (Planetside 2, Crysis 3, etc.)

It's super easy to play with a keyboard and mouse. There were even times where i would lay down while I played. You only use about 6 buttons on the keyboard, and they are all pretty close to each other. If you don't already have a gamepad, i would suggest not getting one for this game.

Yes a 12yr can totally play the game. You set up the mouse trap as you play the game.

no. u can use third party software for that with any mouse but it doesnt have any buttons so ofcourse not...

I would think you could. Each hand is different every time, and there are several versions of the game. Our children are also very young and we didn't play the more complex games.

Yes, it can be played by using your hands. My husband was playing it like that the other day. Have I mentioned how much he's enjoying our son's new drum? :-)

I think you can on the right side of the controller is a small joystick for forward backward left and right.I think you can run it with your pointer finger

No. Though you can probably make them work if you really want to, you would essentially need to set up your controller to control a mouse pointer. These are all RTS strategy games (with the exception of "Renegade"). I can't even imagine any situation where a controller would be preferable to a mouse with an RTS strategy game. They were never designed with that controller in mind.

I don't think they include a program that allows you to program the side buttons. Having said that, mouse buttons 4 and 5 (the side buttons) are so common now that almost every game less than 5 years old will have the function to map those keys to hotkeys in game.

No. Even though it supports it you can play it with just a regular controller.
