  1. Adaptive gaming controllers or customize controllers?


    I’m a left transradial amputee. I really wanted to get back into playing my Xbox. But I can’t figure out what set up would be best for my situation. I’ve looked at the customized controllers and the adaptive gaming stuff that doesn’t make any sense to me. I was wondering if there are any other arm amputees out there and what they’ve done to be able to play Xbox or if anyone else has any suggestions or tips?

    :)

    Adaptive gaming controllers or customize controllers?

    Hello Claudia K, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

    I'm glad to hear you're interested in playing Xbox again. Here are some tips and advice:

    Microsoft offers the Xbox Adaptive Controller, which is specifically designed to be customizable and accessible for people with disabilities. It features large programmable buttons and supports external switches, buttons and joysticks that can be configured to meet your specific needs. The controller can be paired with a variety of assistive devices and input methods to create a custom gaming setup. Here's more information: www.xbox.com/accessories/controllers/xbox-adaptive-controller

    Some companies offer customization services for game controllers. They can modify the controllers to meet their specific needs, such as adding extra buttons, rearranging the buttons for easier access, or creating specialized grips. You can search online for companies that provide customization services for game controllers and ask about the options that would work well for you.

    Consider contacting an occupational therapist who specializes in assistive technology or rehabilitation for people with limb differences. They can assess your specific needs and provide recommendations tailored to your situation. They may suggest specific assistive devices or techniques that can help you adjust to playing with your amputation.

    Remember, everyone's needs and preferences are unique, so finding the right setup may require some experimentation and customization. It's important to be patient and remain open to trying different solutions until you find what works best for you.

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.
    Best regards.
