Microsoft Xbox is the first major console brand of this generation to have its own proprietary adaptive controller for gamers with limited upper body function.
The Xbox Adaptive Controller has two huge buttons and the ability to plug in up to 19 adapted buttons or directional peripherals so gamers can customize a setup that best suits their function and the game they’re playing. It also has mapping options that can configure button position to anywhere a player needs and co-piloting capabilities that allow two controllers to play as one.
“If one person only has function on their left hand, they can control the left side of the controller and another person can use all the buttons on the right side. It’s called co-piloting because you can control the character, but if you need assistance, your co-pilot can take control immediately,” says Mike Luckett, a C6 quad and gamer. He tested and provided feedback on the XAC thanks to his involvement with Warfighter Engaged, a nonprofit that provides free adapted and custom-made controllers and peripherals to injured veterans and others with disabilities.
