Xbox adaptive controller and copilot mode compatibility question

T OD D · Oct 20, 2019

Hi

I'm a one handed gamer whose left hand lacks motor functions after an accident. I'm usually gaming with an arcade stick but they lack the analog controls so it doesn't work in all situations. My question is if the copilot mode and the Xbox adaptive controller
compatible with any arcade stick using windows 10? My plan is to hook up an arcade stick to an Xbox adaptive controller then slap on 2 of these (https://www.evilcontrollers.com/mini-xac-thumbstick) to
be able to use the left and right analog controls. It would be a much cheaper option compared to having to assemble the parts individually considering a Mayflash arcade stick is $50 on amazon but a single AbleNet button switch is already costing $65. Could
someone with experience with the adaptive controller let me know if this setup is viable?

Thank you

:)

Hi there T ODD,

Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is a question on the adaptive controller and compatibility. For more information, I recommend the following articles for more information:

Hi there,

I don't know if it is possible to connect the controller to the Xbox Adaptive controller, maybe someone else can answer that question.

But I do know an alternate option to do that, which is via Copilot option on the console itself, where a second controller can be used to for help the person on the other controller, with steering or button presses etc.

See this link on how to set it up:

I assume it will also work with the Adaptive controller.

Hello Alberto,

If I understand the question correctly, it sounds like you would like to use the Xbox controller along with the Xbox adaptive controller to control the same profile. Co-Pilot would be the feature you are looking for! Check out this link for instructions
on how to set up this feature:
Play with the Xbox Adaptive Controller and
Turn on Copilot

If customization is more in line with your question, please review our article on

Customizing the Xbox Adaptive Controller in the Xbox Accessories App.

Hope this helps and let us know the results!

While I strongly advise to check the
Xbox Adaptive controller, there's also a super nice feature that allows you to split a controller, so you can use for example the left part of it while your wife can use the right one. It's great and opens fun new possibilities to play together.
