Adaptive Controller

The Xbox Adaptive Controller ($100) is designed for gamers with limited mobility. It connects wirelessly to your hub just like a standard controller.

By default, the directional pad will drive your bot. The large buttons will control your weapon.

Adaptive Controllers often ship with outdated firmware, which prevents them from connecting to your hub. If your controller fails to pair, follow Microsoft's instructions. Requires an Xbox console or a PC running Windows 10 or higher.

Peripherals

Depending on your needs, the Xbox Adaptive Controller can also be used with peripherals like buttons, joysticks, foot switches, head switches and more.

Microsoft offers an Xbox Adaptive Joystick ($30) which can be customized with custom, 3D-printable joystick toppers.

Many third party options are also available, including offerings from Logitech and Etsy vendors. Ensure that they specifically mention support for the Xbox Adaptive Controller.

To control your bot's drive motors, plug your peripheral into the left joystick or directional pad ports on your Adaptive Controller. To control your bot's weapon motors, plug into the A/B ports or the LT/RT ports. If you are using a custom control program, you can remap any of these controls.
