Xbox has been a frontrunner in developing usable controllers for a few years now. They are back with some new offerings on their Adaptive series.
Showcasing a nunchuk style controller at an affordable price point: Xbox Adaptive Joystick. Microsoft also partnered with ByoWave and 8BitDo on two new controllers.
For even more adapatablility Xbox’s Design Lab has fully customizable thumbstick toppers you can 3D print yourself.
Players have expressed a need for an affordable, singular joystick to use alongside the Xbox Adaptive Controller and other Xbox controllers. Through years of research, testing and collaboration with players with disabilities, and accessibility experts, we designed the Xbox Adaptive Joystick as a wired companion to Xbox controllers, specifically for players with limited mobility. It includes four button inputs on the front, a standard Xbox thumbstick, and two additional buttons that mimic the bumper and trigger placement on a traditional controller. All these buttons are customizable, providing the flexibility to play in a way that’s most comfortable.
