Work on upgrading you PC, browse the web? Don't want to spark war here, but when I had a cast, I couldn't play PC but could play PS4 (I could comfortably hold the controller and use it). If you don't have a console then that's out of the option.

You could physically clean your PC, watch videos, play not-stressful strategy or RPG games or games in general if you can limit the movement of your wrist. And then there's always LTT.  :D

Depends on the break. Both of my wrist breaks were too painful for even a gamepad until it healed enough. I gamed keyboard and mouse left handed like a boss. I really sucked at fps games though.  :)

Get a razer naga 

Either get it used, or at least buy an extended warranty. They do like to break. 

Anyway bind the buttons to wasd and basic stuff like reloading or something. 

Now you can game xD. 

Saw a guy at my college doing that a year back.

Out of luck if you broke your right wrist though, that mouse is a righty. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

I don't have one, though I believe that someone could easily find it.
