Adaptive contoller mouse 2.0 support

Hi Knar24,

Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums with this question. Insofar as the compatibility of the Adaptive controller to support a 2.0 USB mouse, it should be able to do so since it does allow for USB connectivity for most devices that are USB 2.0.

Here are some super handy support articles relating to the Adaptive controller that you may find useful for reference:

I hope that this information helps out and that you're enjoying the Adaptive controller!

...So, does the Xbox Adaptive Controller work with any USB 2.0 HIDs?

I have a TetraMouse XA (http://tetramouse.com), which is a proportional USB mouth joystick that controls the mouse on a PC, and it is not recognized by the Adaptive Controller.

Thank you,

Joe

As the page about the Adaptive Controller states, it supports USB 2.0 HID
Gamepad and Joysticks only. It seems that the TetraMouse XA is a HID Mouse device, not a gamepad and joystick (despite the fact it uses sticks to control the mouse cursor).

So I'm afraid, that currently the TetraMouse doesn't work, unless you
contact TetraLite and ask them to provide a special firmware, that makes the TetraMouse identify as an analogue Joystick in case of the TMXA2, or as a digital gamepad for the "standard" TetraMouse.

Unless the firmware on the device actually tells the USB Port "Look, I'm a HID Joystick, not a mouse!", the device should work with the adaptive controller.

Hi there!

While the XAC controller supports multiple external devices that plug in using 3.5mm or USB 2.0, I don't think mice are compatible external devices because the USB 2.0 connection is for the left and right control of the axis using two separate joysticks,
like there are two thumbsticks on the controller, there are two USB 2.0 connections for the left and right control of the axis on the XAC. They substitute the thumbsticks that you would find on a normal controller. A mouse basically controls the entire axis
and doesn't split it up into two like a controller does so you wouldn't be able to control the entire axis with the mouse by plugging it into only the left or right USB 2.0 port.

Does the game not allow you to use a mouse to steer and the quadstick to do everything else that would be done on the keyboard? Does it only let you use either configuration but not both at the same time?

Is there an option within the game to select use for steering with the mouse while using your quadstick for everything else on the PC?

If the game doesn't support the use of two different configurations at the same time, then unfortunately I don't think the XAC will help in this situation.

If you would like to learn more about the XAC, take a look at this support article that will direct you to every support information we have available online about this product:

I hope this helps!

You should report any player you think as using MnK on an unsupported game for cheating

Hi There,

With patches comes bugs sometimes. If there is indeed an issue you can report the problem. If you are on console get the insider hub and report the issue there. If they are aware of it, they will most likely fix it. Some of this takes time also.

Thanks,

Brad
