Microsoft expands accessibility range with new Xbox Adaptive Joystick

Xbox is expanding its accessibility range with new accessories, including the Xbox Adaptive Joystick and 3D printable thumbstick toppers.

The Xbox Adaptive Joystick, due out next year, is a singular joystick with two triggers and four face buttons, essentially acting as half a controller that can be used with either hand, or other body parts.

The buttons are completely remappable using the same UI as the existing Xbox Adaptive Controller.

It can also be mounted if unable to be held.
