  1. Adaptive Controller w 2 Joysticks (Can't find one with my situation.


    Long story short - I don't have much use of my Thumbs, both Left and Right. So without use of thumbs you can prob imagine i can hold a standard Xbox controller and use RB,RT,LB,LT with my fingers, but buttons on the face like Both Joysticks and A,X,Y,B ; I just cannot cause requires use of thumbs.

    I have a solution in my head with adaptive controller but doesn't seem to exist. If I had 2 joysticks, that would solve my joystick problems. BUT every joystick I see either has no buttons or only 1 trigger button. (Buttons on the base don't count and buttons at the top require use a thumb)

    Is there not a Joystick that has 3 buttons on the stick itself, so I can use my INDEX, MIDDLE, RING finger to operate. That a total of 6 buttons and both joysticks, that should take care of most games any additional I can figure out something else.

    I'm writing this because I'm desperate; haven't gamed in 8 years, this would solve all my problems and get me back doing what I love. Maybe someone has a solution or maybe someone I can email (head of disability department or something) to put the idea out there.

    People put countless hours texting and gaming, I'm surprised more people don't have issues with their thumbs like I have. This definitely a solid solution and

    PLEASE DON'T SUGGEST USING A MOUSE KEYBOARD I'VE TRIED.

    Thanks for your time, any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Adaptive joystick

    I have tried 2 different adaptive controllers and two different adaptive joysticks. I put the adaptive joystick into hard foam (that I cut a notch into, then put the adaptive controller in the slit-where the density of the foam made the sides push in from
    left and right to steady the adaptive controller & hold in place) to put in bottom, so one side of tape would stick to wedge and other to controller, so it's locked into place. I use my toe on the adaptive joystick and hand on Elite controller w/LT and LB
    triggers. Biggest, most Massive messed up issue is PDP (manufacturer of adaptive joystick) or Xbox's
    adaptive controller does not support the thumb stick click
    function
    ...which is WORTHLESS. If I use my right toe, my left foot is bricked from tone too, which leaves my right hemisphere to do al functions. I just need the joystick to click to sprint but apparently MS did not consult w/people
    that have the need for this. The only people I see this helping are kids w/parent via copilot. They just need to fix or add a clickable adaptive thumb stick to have sprint....but I'm pretty sure they won't invest the small capital to fix this glaringly outrageous
    oversight.

    I didn't see in my adaptive configuration screen an option to allow the left usb of the adaptive controller to act as shift button when I went into the app on my xbox. I play FPS shooters, so shift key will not allow me to play the game at all. Just pass
    on this sensible feature that should've come with the controller/joystick to whomever designed this thing so atrociously.
