Need help with peripherals and mapping for Adaptive Controller

Venderhain · Feb 7, 2019

For years, I have struggled with thumb issues in both hands that makes using analog sticks possible, but painful. With the advent of the Adaptive Controller, I'm hoping I may have found a solution. However, I'm not sure what peripherals to add to make this
work.

- It seems the Logitech Flightstick that is listed as compatible might work for analog movement, but I am unclear as to whether the buttons on the sticks are re-mappable. Also, can the Adaptive Controller function with two of these plugged in simultaneously?

- Are there other options for controlling the analog sticks that are less cumbersome? For example, for most of the games I play, I could probably get away with four button inputs for moving and looking, but it's not clear to me whether there is a way to
substitute buttons for sticks since the movement of each stick seems to be limited to a single USB port. Anyone have any ideas for some creative substitutes for traditional analog thumbsticks via the Adaptive Controller? Could a small keypad or something work?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you all can offer. I'm hoping for a pain-free gaming experience in the not-so-distant future.

Yup, I do have the adaptive controller, it's a challenge to find all the right add on controllers for the back ports. You really DO have to be an expert as to the controls that a particular game uses in order to map it to the adaptive controller and associated
peripherals.

Hi,

For the xbox there is now the Adaptive controler, please take a look at it on the Microsoft page https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/controllers/xbox-adaptive-controller

The adaptive controller is designed for people with disabilities and can be customized with all kinds of peripherals so it will fit to the needs of the gamer.

In order to use it on an Xbox Console you need to use the adaptive controller, and it only works with flight sim.

If you’re using it on the PC, you do not need any additional peripherals.

Sorry I can't give answer on that because I'm currently also looking for an adaptive controller and peripherals. An electronic store will probably have the controller but I dont think that they have the peripherals.
