As someone who has spent countless hours gaming and navigating my way through various titles with unique challenges due to my physical limitations, I am overjoyed by Microsoft’s latest announcements. The Xbox Adaptive Joystick, 3D printable thumbstick toppers, the 8BitDo Lite SE 2.4G wireless controller, and the ByoWave Proteus controller are all game-changers for gamers like me.
Microsoft has unveiled a selection of new products designed to enhance accessibility for Xbox gamers. These include the Xbox Adaptive Joystick, customizable adaptive thumbstick covers (which can be 3D printed), the 8BitDo Lite SE 2.4G wireless controller compatible with Xbox, and the ByoWave Proteus controller designed for use on Xbox systems.
The Xbox Adaptive Joystick aims to cater to a specific group of players who require a single joystick that works seamlessly with the Xbox Adaptive Controller and conventional Xbox controllers. This adaptive controller is primarily designed for gamers with limited mobility. Apart from a thumbstick, this wired accessory also features two buttons that mimic the positions of bumpers and triggers. Additionally, it has four front-facing button inputs. The Xbox Adaptive Joystick is scheduled to hit the shelves at the Microsoft Store in early 2025, with a price tag of $29.99.
3D printable designs for customizable thumbstick caps are accessible for free via the Xbox Design Lab website, catering to gamers seeking additional adaptability in handling their analog sticks. A variety of thumbstick cap options exist, including diverse shapes, levels of depth, and unique functionalities.
8BitDo Lite SE 2.4G wireless gamepad was thoughtfully crafted for gamers with mobility limitations. Key features include smooth-operating low-resistance buttons, responsive Hall Effect joysticks, all buttons conveniently positioned on the controller’s top surface, and a textured silicone grip. The controller retails at $59.99 and is currently up for grabs.
The ByoWave Proteus controller is a versatile device built on an interchangeable system, often referred to as “connect and customize” components. This modular structure enables users to arrange the controller based on their personal preferences and gaming style, with over 100 million possible combinations of modules at their disposal. The controller can be purchased for $299.
