Xbox Adaptive Controller ONE Handed | Gaming With My Feet??? 

My fiancee is disabled, and we've used the Xbox adaptive controller quite a bit since she got it. Wish we could on Playstation, but for that I've taken to popping the controller open and soldering pedal switches directly to the controller's board. Right now, we have a dualsense with a more advanced mod I did - the adaptive triggers have their own daughterboards, and the beefy controller has a large cavity on both sides where the triggers ease into the handles. That gave me ample room to wire a 3.5mm mono jack to the daughterboard, after testing with a multimeter to see which solder points would actuate the trigger. Unfortunately, this is only able to offer digital input (on or off) instead of full analog control. (off, on 1-100%) making games that use adaptive triggers to have the different points of a trigger do different commands entirely, such as Returnal aim/alt-fire, not work properly. So I've got a Logitech adaptive controller kit coming soon, lots of little buttons for $100, and two analog pedals. However, the analog pedals don't use TS (mono) jacks. They use TRRS - so instead of tip and sleeve, it's tip, ring, ring, sleeve. I unfortunately have no idea if I can find 3 or 4 solder points on the dualsense trigger daughterboard to be able to get the analog pedal to work as an analog trigger, but if I can my next project is to repeat the modification I already did, but this time install 3.5mm TRRS jacks on both sides of the Dualsense controller, for both L2 and R2 analog input when plugged into an analog pedal. Reasons we send Sony an e-mail every now and again like "y'know guys, it'd be real cool if you just allowed the xbox adaptive controller to simply work with your products..."

This is so cool I need this since cancer took my left arm

This is so awesome. Everyone deserves to enjoy all games, good on Microsoft.

Now that you have this awesome setup, no joke, you totally should stream you gaming. You sound like you'd OWN at CoD.

I love this ❤️ last year I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s I’m 28 now but my hands and shaking is getting really bad to the point it’s hard to use a normal controller. With this and the button add ins I can play more comfortably and not be as shaky when playing ❤️ i have to give a big thanks to special effect gaming charity for setting this up for me ❤️ the things you can do now with technology is just amazing ❤️

I've always been super curious about the adaptive controller. This totally rocks!

It's really comforting to know that if anything happens, and I can't game like I do today, it likely doesn't mean gaming is out of reach. Even now I'd really like to get one of these, to try it out and see if I can mix it into how I play. I look forward to updates!

i watched the full video! Such a nice and full detailed review! have fun playing AB

wow, i'm a connoisseur of controllers , i love trying out different types of controllers for my games, this got me thinking of building a custom made controller setup using the Xbox Adaptive Controller even though i'm perfectly fine using the standard xbox controller, but really kudos to Microsoft for making this so that people who have trouble using the standard controller enjoy games, nice video btw.

Thank you for not only explaining but demonstrating this. I had no idea what this controller did but after having trouble with traditional keyboards on pc it led me down the rabbit hole.

Thanks for Your review! I'm using the adaptive Controller myself, since Parkinson Made me Mostly immobile. I am so Happy to be able to Play my loved games on PC again. P.s. you're Amazing :)

Very nice video. This thing looks great. Thanks for reviewing and sharing.

Please dont take forever with more videos lol I love your channel here and on TikTok. Keep up the good work!!!

This is awesome my brother has very little strength and mobility in his left hand and growing up he could game one handed easily on the nes and sega controller he did decent on the ps1 before they added the joysticks we use to coplay games on pc where he would move around and I would shoot and open doors. He got an Xbox series x recently and through mapping has been able for the most part play racing games and I had heard about this and after seeing this and how well you have managed I may be surprising him this Christmas with it. So glad someone in the gaming space is making gaming more accessible

This is awesome!, good on on matt

This is awesome, I know it’s not “new” at this point, but Ive only recently bought an Xbox. Setups still aren’t “cheap” but they are way more affordable now, and should be more accessible to lower income folk soon enough as it becomes cheaper for companies to include more players with different abilities. Awesome video too!

Thank you very much for making this,..i had a stroke and lost use of my right arm 2 months ago. my setup,... I ordered the foot plate that gives me WASD for left foot. 4 --3.5 buttons for the right foot,.. regular 3 button mouse for left hand. Tomorrow is my birthday and it gets delivered in 2-3 days from now,.. im so excited!!!! with over 400 game titles that i owned and I could no longer play makes the 314 bucks,i just spent to get em back doesn't seem that bad. i may need to add stuff later but i think this will get me started,.. thank a million. hugz

i love the video i watched the video many times i got the adapter when i got confident thanks for input ur inspiration

Matt and Microsoft are pretty awesome for working with you on this adaptation.

This is really friggin cool Also that add on by microsoft looks like a wii nunchuck

Very good, I wish you have a happy gaming with the Adative controller one.

Great review, kudos to Microsoft for this brilliant product.

That’s very nice I’m gonna experiment with it

Way cool set up!! 😎👍

Gracias a tu video, compré un Xbox One más control adaptable con accesorios y estoy muy feliz. Gracias por la recomendación ❤😊

I love that this got made.

Most videos on youtube don't show the Adaptive Controller from the front, while playing. This is why your video is good, The viewer sees the action.

Nice video. I wonder if you have encountered any issues using the copilot feature...

I have always wanted one of these to mess around with because I feel the possibilities are endless. I just can't justify taking a unit from someone who could benefit from having one. One day though if one ever crosses my path I'll snag it up.

Can you please start a gaming channel so we can see your progress with your gaming skills that would be cool

This is Amazing!

JEEZUS! Almost spit my drink @7:22 lol

This is great! I hope next gen consoles have these kind of controllers which will make gaming accessibel I already uploaded some video`s

Nice REVIEW

Faith in humanity this is awesome 😀

Your amazing girl,Cheers.I only use my right hand myself since i lost the use of my left hand from a virus i had when i was 13 called incephilitis.Props your way.Anything is possible.Its all in the way you think.I bought a one handed controller from evil controllers myself.It is amazing.Ty again for this awesome video.keep that attitude and smile,Im sure you will.

I was born in the 70's and been gaming since gaming began but i was born without my right hand my nubb is somewhat similar to your and the right trigger /bumper are a problem face buttons and stick i have covered tho i must say you are the only person that i have ever seen that uses their nubb as well as i do i have been remapping for years but i want to simplify things so i am finally gonna get this controller for my pc the Titan One and Cronus Max only help so much

This is great I also play with 1 hand. My cerebral palsy limits my use in my right hand. I use an elite 2 controller witches helps. But would like figure out a joystick so I don't have to switch over to the right one.

I'm over here building an expensive pc to play games. I could just buy this. I actually don't have a right hand either, lefties!!

Looking into this for my son who has CP and can’t use his right hand... Thank you for sharing!! ❤️

Thank you for this, on the 3rd of July I seriously destroyed my hand with a firework bc im not the brightest . This helps a lot.

Loved the video. I'm same disability as you. I use my knee to fire the trigger on CoD with the controller configured for leftie. I've just got arma 3 on pc and I'm now trying to play keyboard and mouse. I can use my paw (great description that I never thought of) to control the mouse but can't use the buttons, plus I'm not very accurate with the mouse but that might just need practice. Is there a way to have external mouse buttons I can use with my feet that you or anyone else on here knows of. I still need to work the scroll wheel as well. I'm grateful for any help.

I don't watch gamers at all, you are the only one I have and would, I'm not interested in devision and competitive worldly pleasures, but I did here because You're an inspiration, especially your attitude, God bless You.

Hi I am so inspired by u I was a huge gamer before I lost use of my left arm so I quit gaming ☹️ I have never heard of the adaptive controller until now where can I find the joystick that's like the left side of the controller and what's it called I think that would work awesome for my situation thanks 👍

cool setup, how did u lose your forearm?

I would love to see update on this

Hi Abby. You should check the 3dRudder foot controller to complement your setup.

The one handed controller looks like the wii nunchucks😂

Very nice

Pretty cool of xbox to do this, and Hi from Imgur!✌

I am a one handed gamer and I find it hard to play multiplayer. I've always had to adapt and figure out how to hold the controller. I'm thinking of buying and adaptive controller.

My brother is a one handed gamer too. Bought him a xbox, the adaptive controller + stuff for Christmas, he’s loving it and I’m definitely hyped too. Took us a while to get everything set up but it was worth the struggle, now he’s able to comfortably play a lot of games he couldn’t play before. Biggest struggle for me was to buy all the extra sticks, buttons and the adaptive controller...Germany seems to be stuck in the stone age in terms of supporting handicapped people :( Greetings from Germany

Great video... meanwhile, you can't even remap a single button on a nintendo switch...

Yes can you show me you using the one handed joystick please

I understand that you can remap the 2 big buttons to be RB and RT, but did you figure out a way to control the right stick? Please answer soon as it will help me as well. Many thanks

Can you play the newest Zelda on Switch with the Adaptive Controller? Have you heard of the Evil Controller?

I need something like that since I've had my stroke I can't use my left arm

Warfighter engaged is best they helped me do much

Hi. I have my right hand and a stub for my left. like you but the opposite :) I was wondering if you have any updates on what you use for gaming. I am struggling trying to find a controller to play games with. Can you please suggest what you use? If you are still using the Xbox Adaptive Controller, can you also tell me what accessories work for you? I Recently bought Azeron Cyro controller, it's basically a keyboard and mouse combo it works very good for what it is Unfortunately for me, I have hand weakness and dexterity limitations, so I need something I can control easier. Thank you so much for any suggestions.

THANK YOU I want up play MK 11 so bad. I lost my right arm too

Hi! Can you please, please tell me if it's possible to map big black buttons as triggers to press them with feet? The additional buttons are crazy expensive!

Hey Abshow, I hope you are well. This is Tanzil Sami, a fourth year Industrial Design student at Rochester Institute of Technology. I am currently working on making an inclusive gaming controller as a project and came across your channel on RU-vid! Massive respect to what you do and have accomplished. I’m currently on my research phase and am looking to talk with one handed gamers about their experience with Dual-stick controllers. I would love to talk to you about your experience and how you have adapted to playing games being one handed. Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in! Can't wait to hear back from you.

I use a adaptive with a elite 2 controller With a 3D rudder as my left stick Swap the buttons and sticks on elite 2 Works well

Hi I found your tik tok and said hey I should support bye watching

Suddenly, i'm looking at Xbox Adaptive Controller videos as sort of a "life fuel" thing. Here's hoping for full accessibility support with the Xbox Series X.

I know this is not the forum or method to ask questions, but what and where did you get the one handed controller with the joystick and buttons? i cant find it anywhere!!! post the link and price please

Hey...honestly, if they weren’t you sponsor...would you personally buy this item? Does this product seem complicated? Thanks...also have you played “wii”? It’s fun, and it also comes with the nunchuck =)

I have a question do you know of any combination that would work if I only have function of my right arm and right leg? I'd be really interested and appreciative for any advice please 🙏

I have a feeling gyroscope would help with shooters in cases like yours. Right stick inputs would be difficult for you. But I have a feeling moving the controller itself would help with aiming. Though adding that now would be terrible. With the main xbox series x controller having no gyroscope, devs won't design gyro aiming for games on the xbox consoles. And have gyro aiming emulate a right stick is terrible

Yo I need this not disabled or anything just want to chill on couch and eat while playing nonstop

I'm wondering if it can work and can be backward compatible with the Xbox Series S and X. I have cerebral palsy that affects my whole left side. I thought getting this adaptive controller. I recently bought me Street Fighter 6 for Xbox Series X. There are some moves that I can't do which I'm stuck on two sidequests and I'm doing the World Tour. This is also good for me playing Grand Theft Auto Online because I can't sniper. 😊

I ordered this for my husband who Loves COD but can only play with one hand and The hardest part for him is the aim and trigger!!! I HOPE IT WORKS FOR HIM!!

My name is Phoebs Lyle, and I reviewed it on my channel. I don't have your disability, but I am paralysed from the neck down, and I can only do things with a chopstick, or other types of sticks such as styluses in my mouth. Like you, I feel like the Xbox Adaptive Controller has helped widen gaming out to people who can't play games in the same way as people who don't have any problems physically. I agree the setup depends on what game you're playing, but I use mine in Copilot with the XAC set up to act as RT and LT, with external switches acting as RB and LB. (This setup works with Minecraft and Lego games) and for Forza I have a switch behind my head, which I use as accelerate. I can break by just lifting my head. But Still looking for an option for shooting games and Assassin's Creed, so will gladly take any advice. (I can't use feet, legs or my hands or arms). Subscribed and will be looking out for future videos.

Hey Abby, I love your long hair its so pretty! I also know that having long hair has a lot of struggles even with two hands, so my question that I have been dying to ask is, how do you wash your hair? Again your so amazing and I loving watching your videos! Thanks, MayCee :)

You Beautiful, Xbox did a good job with this controller

I'm good with a normal controller. I just wish game developers would just let you have complete controller remapping in game. It shouldn't be that hard to program. My favorite shooter game Black had it on PS2 and is the one only game I've seen like it.

whoa 😍

As long as you can aim and shoot you can have fun. All the hardcore gamers are probably like, “how do you live with yourself knowing that you cant kill more noobs than me?

What if a person has one arm with an articulate hand but the other hand just does not move at all. In other words a truly one handed player. Is there a way to play Fortnite and fighter games in this situation with this controller? ( thank you for your knowledge)

where did you find the one handed controller?

Did you buy it yourself or are there any company willing to help my brother get one of these

Have you ever asked Ben Heck to make a controller for you? He helped lots of people with one handed controllers.

Where can I get this?

You should stream

I need this so bad. I recently had a stroke and it jet my leg side completely immobile

I have a right handed ben heck xbox 1 controller that I purchased for my uncle who had a stroke. Figured he could enjoy some old classics on steam but he didn't want it. Now I feel stupid. 😅 Time to find a place to sell it.

Today I saw a new 3D printed accesorie for 1 handed ppl and it looks better than the one u are using. Check it out!! ir looks more comfortable.

I really dont like their consoles. And I didnt support them for a long time. But when I saw that Microsoft was going out of their way to make affordable adaptive controllers for those who cant play on standard controllers, I immediately got huge respect for the company. And even though I'm getting the PS5, I hope the new xbox series x sells a lot and hopefully gain a lot of fans this generation. And I'm glad you are able to play games. Makes me happy 😁

How do you move cause I can aim and look up with my left hand and left trigger I just can't move forward and backwards I can't move my right arm just my left arm and hand

Does it come with all of that

Does anyone know if this can be used with a pc?

Where can you order these from? I can’t find them on amazon so far.

How can I get this? I lost my right arm in an accident. Please help.

Gotta say, that’s pretty damn cool. S/O to Xbox

There's a better way for people that have full mobility in one hand.( Xim apex) and (Azeron) You need the Xim Apex to connect the Azeron to any console or to use the Azeron as a Controller/PC Controller. the Azeron has... 1 analogue stick with a push button. 1 D-pad with a push button. 6 buttons for your index finger. 5 buttons for your middle finger. 4 buttons for your ring finger. 4 buttons for your pinky finger. Comes in left or right versions, Then co-pilot the Xim with the Xbox Adaptive Controller to use your arm for directional movement and pedals for triggers.

omg yaaasaaaas

Great review. Ive been intrigued by these new controllers. I myself am pretty much mirror to yourself as im a left cong amp. To be fare im pretty much adapted though and whilst for myself these adapted controllers are prob not for me, i can see the benefits for those with more limited mobility ect. My main issue is lb lt buttons although a friend gave me an awsome 3d print lever mech so all 4 triggers can be accssed from my right hand. Which can also my switched to work for the left. Cost around £4 to print. Theres my problem. Whilst microsoft have made an effort its price point does seam too extreme to me to be labeled an aid. Sorry but cant help feel its a bit of cash in for Microsoft . I understand RAND D costs money but feel it will put alot of people off.. No offence

Really enjoy your reviews...And by the way Abby, you are so beautiful..

very cool but its bit too expensive

Yay Time to play sekiro
