Building input switches for xbox adaptive controller

This is not the right place to ask that questions. We are here to help on the devices available for the system not to suggest ways to build devices already available. From reading your post I think you will find that it is more expensive to try doing
it your way.

That sounds pretty cool but try looking on YouTube.

Just so I understand you correctly:

What you are trying to do is to have the controller send a button press when you move the Joystick?

As for example, when you push up on the joystick you press A, when you press down on the joystick the controller sends button B, and left and right will be LB RB for example?

If so, then I'm afraid this is not possible.

You can however try to build a similar setup, so that an arcade stick gets wired to 3.5mm jacks that you plug into the A, B, X, Y, LB, RB inputs on the adaptive controller.

For more information on how to connect inputs to the Adaptive Controller,
see this website which links to an in-depth specification document that explains how to connect various hardware to the Xbox Adaptive Controller.

Hi there,

The
Xbox Adaptive Controller only comes with the USB cable to charge the controller. You can
connect external devices such as switches, buttons, mounts, and joysticks to create a custom controllers experience that is uniquely yours. Button,
thumb-stick and trigger inputs are controlled with assistive devices (sold separately) connected through 3.5mm jacks and USB ports.

Hope this information helps.

Found it, posting here in case anyone else is looking.
