Xbox Adaptive Joystick Is Available Now

The Xbox Adaptive Joystick has officially launched, giving users a new accessibility option for playing games.

It's compatible with PC and Xbox consoles.

Microsoft says that this wired controller was designed in collaboration with the Gaming and Disability community so that users with limited mobility have access to a device that can meet their needs. The company added that its versatility allows for it to be seamlessly incorporated into existing gaming setups, and it can also be connected to the Xbox Adaptive Controller. All of the buttons can be remapped by using the Xbox Accessories app.

For even more fine-tuning, Microsoft is offering several thumbstick topper designs through its Xbox Design lab, and these can all be 3D-printed through the store.

If you're looking to get the Xbox Adaptive Controller, these are currently available through Best Buy and Target. Priced at $100, the controller is equipped with large programmable buttons and the ability to connect to external switches, buttons, mounts, and joysticks. The plug-and-play design makes it a customizable hub for other pieces of gaming hardware and it's compatible with PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
