Xbox Adaptive Controller: Making Gaming Accessible

Published on February 1, 2019

Xbox adaptive controller is an innovative idea by Microsoft, which mainly targets disabled gamers. Allowing gaming with only elbows, feet, single hands or head, this unique controller is the best choice for die-hard gamers with limited mobility. It is not surprising to see why this revolutionary controller has now become a hit among disabled gamers.

XAC, when bought, is pre-charged to a degree and requires no batteries. This means you can start playing right away. To use it wirelessly you may sync it with your Xbox one console. You can even pair it wirelessly with all Windows computers that have Bluetooth 4.0 or Xbox wireless Adapter dongle.

You don’t need to worry if you do not own any of the wireless systems. The best part is that Xbox comes with a charging alternative and a wired connector.

Measuring 5.0 × 11.5 inches, this 1.2lb (550g) device has a height of 0.87 inches with a five-degree slope. The slope is exclusively manufactured to rest a user’s palms or hands at the bottom of the supporting table or the controller itself.

The Xbox gamepad has a diameter of 4 inches and can withstand the pressure of the punches for an ultimate gaming experience. Its click push action is quick and allows players to know that they have pressed, thanks to its quick touch and sound responses.

The buttons on the XAC system are well designed and spaced to have room for unfocused taps. The accessories are durable and come with less squishier pads.

Final Thoughts

The Xbox Adaptive Controller is a unique product which has been designed for disabled gamers. Video games are a popular pastime for thousands of people around the world. Designing exclusive video gaming accessories for disabled gamers is a revolution that provides a normal experience to the disabled.
