Microsoft have released a new adaptive Xbox joystick for use with their adaptive Xbox controller. The joystick has been a collaboration with the community to meet the individual needs of disabled gamers. Microsoft have partnered with many organisations to design and share a range of joystick tops that can be 3D printed to meet gamers needs. This allos the controller to be customers to an individual.
Accessible and sustainable packaging:
- A center-seamed shipper with looped tape to make it easy to open
- Hinged box lid, with large loops to get to product and cables, easily and quickly.
- No twist-ties or clam shell plastics!
- Fiber-based, right sized and single use plastic-free and designed for recyclability.
With the Adaptive Xbox Joystick, Microsoft demonstrate what is possible when we design for accessibility and sustainability.
Gaming with a disability is highly individualistic, and we will continue to invest in Xbox’s accessibility offerings – taking into account feedback from the millions of players with disabilities from around the world. Whether using an Xbox Adaptive Joystick, 3D printable files for adaptive thumbstick toppers, or one of the Designed for Xbox’s controllers, we are excited to offer even more choices that allow players with disabilities to customize their gaming setups and enhance their gaming experience with Xbox.
