If he likes PC gaming, there are a few mice that have several extra buttons that you can bind to keyboard input. I recommend the Razer Naga, or Razer Naga Hex.

If he likes PC gaming, there are a few mice that have several extra buttons that you can bind to keyboard input. I recommend the Razer Naga, or Razer Naga Hex. The hex has 6 extra buttons while the original Naga has 12 I believe. Both mice are in the $60-$70 dollar range but are well worth the purchase. I stopped in to comment ( my first comment actually ) because games are a big part of my life, and I couldn't imagine a world without games. I'm a game developer by day and player by night. My best wishes go out to him and I hope he continues to keep playing games!
