Hi,

I am very disappointed with Microsoft's support for me in my situation I am a 63 year old technophobe that tries to understand computerspeak.. Lack of pc education make it hard to understand some of the terms, concepts that I need for key-mapping. Then there's the process required to set the adaptive and the xbox controller in sync with the buttons I can operate ergonomically with my right hand. Add to that my being a left-arm amputee means I have no means of stabilising the controller. Velcro might be used in some way if supported.

I have been trying for about six weeks now. I have been connected with Microsoft representatives in Morroco, Egypt and The Phillipines countless times. Most of the representatives are polite and I hope efficient but not native speakers of my language.

I don't suggest for a moment that their English is inadequate just that the language both parties need to understand and convey meaning isn't sufficient/ adequate.

I would like to play Forza 6. A racing game that will require as many buttons/keys mapped for all of the elements of racing cars on roads/circuits as possible. Perhaps I won't be able to control everything but I need to accelerate, brake, change gear, steer, etc.. The vehicle might need to be set up regarding suspension, braking levels, tyre wear etc.,etc

No matter how many times I try I will never be able to succeed unless someone at microsoft helps me to set my accessories up. Certainly when I speak to many different representatives from counties where English isn't the native language. I need a Microsoft expert with the knowledge to set my xbox up and send instructions I can follow to set it up myself.

To play a racing game like Forza with the use of one arm, I recommend getting a racing wheel and turning force feedback off (or at least, turning it way down) in the game settings. Most racing wheels can be clamped or bolted to a table or desk. If you can use your feet also, a set of racing pedals attached to the wheel can work very well to control LT and RT. If the buttons on the steering wheel part of the wheel controller are not adequate for doing everything you would like to do, I further recommend getting a "fight stick" and turning on Copilot Mode in the XBox settings. A setup like this could probably be put together for about the same price as the XAC + accessories, and it would not require any fancy configuration efforts on your part.

To summarize:

A "racing wheel" controller for XBox
- With pedals, if you can use them
  - These control LT and RT
  - These might need to be firmly attached to something so they don't move underfoot
- Bolt/clamp this wheel controller to a table or desk
  - They usually come with a clamp for this purpose or are heavy enough to just sit flat
A "fight stick" controller (optional)
- Turn on "Copilot" in the XBox controller settings so these two controllers can be used together
- This will probably be heavy enough to sit mostly still when sitting on a flat surface like the table/desk the wheel is fixed to
