    right hand gaming with xbox controller. How to set up?


    Hi,

    I am a left-arm amputee and would dearly love to play Forza 6 with an xbox adaptive controller. I have been told that it would be possible with an adapted xbox controller and the a and b buttons of the adaptive controller for brakes and gas. I have watched countless youtube videos, spoken to xbox representatives from, Morroco, Egypt and the Phillipines yet after 6 weeks I am none the wiser. I am 63 years old and a technophobe. I speak three languages non of which include technospeak. I find it difficult to understand why I can't just be given simple step by step instructions in order to set things up. I think I understand profiles and how to set them up but when it comes to key mapping or deciding whether something should be primary/ secondary/shift/ invert x and y axis etc.. I haven't got a clue.

    I have an xbox controller, adaptive controller, Logic3 joystick, a Zelotes vertical mouse game contoller and a normal 'chaos' game controller yet I don't know a combination of all or any of these that might work together.

    I have software on mini disks for the joystick and vertical mouse but fear trying to insert them into my xbox one S console as I might lose or jam them with no cd tray. Is that necessary or might I transfer the data to a normal size cd first?

    I am very frustrated. I lost my arm in a motorcycle accident and miss feeling in control of some vehicle or other. I had hoped I would solve this problem by buying an xbox yet I am writing this instead.

    I would be extremely grateful if someone could enlighten me.

    Thankyou

    Gary

    :)

    I can help you as I’ve done it

    Logitech has a set of adaptive buttons for the cntroller that should help you quite a bit. It includes, among other things analog switches you can use in place of triggers. So for example you could put them under your hand to work the brakes.

    Controls for a person with for working ones are often a very personal thing. Outside of that, I would suggest buying that button pack, and just playing with it, it’ll probably take you four or five hours of just playing with different configurations to find out what works for you. I’m happy to give you input as much as I can, I got my friend who only has one working hand and nothing else playing Forza Horizon 4, so I hope I can do the same for you

    Hi Bandit_799,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Xbox forums! I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with setting up your adaptive controller to play Forza 6. I will do my best to provide you with some resources and solutions to help resolve this issue. So, I will do my best to explain some of the things you mentioned and break them down as easily as I can.

    • Profiles: Think of these like different user names on your PC. you can create multiple ones for games. For example, you can have a Forza 6 profile with all the button configurations you make for that game. Then you can have a Halo profile that is specific to shooting games.
    • Primary vs. Secondary: This means which controller you will designate as the main one you will be using. With the Adaptive controller, that will always be the primary, and any additional things you plug into it are your secondary devices.
    • Invert X/Y: This means that when you press one of the analog sticks when you are controller the camera, if you invert Y when you press the joystick up, it will look down; when you press down, it will lookup. X inverted means that when you press left, the camera or movement of the car will go right, and when you push right, the car goes left. I hope this part made sense.
    Below are some links to resources on how to set up the adaptive controller.


    in the Xbox Accessories app, choose the Adaptive controller and create a profile named "Forza6."

    Then make sure you select Swap sticks, and you can change the left analog stick on the controller to the right analog for right-hand gaming.

    What external devices work with the Xbox Adaptive Controller?

    In This link, scroll down to "Looking for setup suggestions?" and here are some resources and groups that can help you get started, which we partner with and can help with setup as well. I recommend starting with The Able Gamers Charity.

    I hope these suggestions help! If this answers your question, please mark the thread as "Answered." If they did not help, please let me know, and I will continue to assist and see what other solutions I can provide to resolve your problem. Have a wonderful day
