mappable controls
ever since this game released, I've dreamed of the idea of mappable controls. I was born without a left hand (my left arm still works great for control sticks), so growing up, I learned to always use the left trigger by pressing L into my leg/knee area. This works for games like Halo for grenades, but can be tiresome in games where you press L frequently.

I feel like i've never gotten to fully enjoy one of my favorite games because of this. :/ I can play the game fine, but I've never gotten to be comfortably immersed in the game

First off, I am impressed that you manage to play games like Halo. Respect.

There are ways to remap the controls with Steam or third-party-tools though.

Steam: Depending on your controller you just have to activate the appropriate input assistant in the general controller settings of Steam, this allowes you to change controls for specific games and save those layouts or share them with other. Just Shift+Tab into the overlay of Steam to change the mapping then. Be aware that for Playstation controllers the input assistant will render the right analog stick to an 8-way control instead of 360 degree (happens only for AAC), but this can be fixed also by remapping the stick correctly.

Non-Steam: Using XInput emulators like InputMapper or DS4Windows are giving you the ability to remap controls for any game out there as well while running those tools. You can directly remap buttons in the tool then.

Did you checked the accessibility options of AAC? There is an auto-fire option there that makes it unnecessary to push down the right trigger permanently. Means you could just swap L and R trigger with the above mentioned methods and you should be able to play this game more comfortable.

If you've got the cash (like, $215) Azeron[www.azeron.eu] produces a mouse intended for one-handed gaming, the Cyro. It has a joystick and 16 buttons. (Most of this page is for the Cyborg, I think the Cyro is relatively new? Scroll down until you see the red-and-white thing.)

I've got a Cyborg (their keypad with a joystick) and that's why I also want rebindable keys - my Cyborg's joystick is usually bound to IJKL, not WASD, and I have to go into the software to change that any time I want to play AAC or any other game I can't rebind. I'd also like sensitivity options for first-person, but that's less important.
