Add Alt Modifier to Xbox Adaptive Controller Shift Function

Hey WARRIOR

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums.

In regards to this, the Adaptive Controller allows you re-map certain buttons to be registered as a different input.

For example, using that
Shift option, allows use a different set of controllers altogether, such as switching to the right stick from the left stick.

For buttons, choose a button on the controller you want to modify with Shift, then choose
Shift. Choose a button from the list (this will be the button that’s used when the Shift button is held down).

The Shift status will reflect the button you’ve chosen.

I hope this was able to clarify any confusion this might have casued.

there are a few new commands you can take advantage of in the Xbox Accessories app, namely “Shift.” Using this allows you to add secondary functions to every button on the controller; only activate when you’re holding down whatever you’ve mapped as the
Shift key.

Hi there Warrior,

Thanks for keeping us up to date with the issue. I recommend trying the following article: How do I use Shift with the Xbox
Adaptive Controller?

Give this a try and let us know the results.

Hello Jay2199,

We appreciate your suggestion for Xbox Controller mapping.

I understand that you want to add the shift button function to your controller while still using the LT function. As it is not possible to assign both LT and Shift to the left trigger on the Xbox controller. You may try to check Xbox Accessories to remap the buttons on your controller to suit your needs or check the in-game settings for remapping your controller. However, for the controllers to have this specific SHIFT button, we encourage you to share this suggestion to our Team Xbox.

Please use this link to submit your suggestion: Xbox Support.

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.
