This new accessible Xbox nunchuk controller has 3D-printable joystick parts

Microsoft demonstrated its leadership in accessible gaming hardware again on Wednesday with the announcement of a new one-handed joystick controller

Microsoft demonstrated its leadership in accessible gaming hardware again on Wednesday with the announcement of a new one-handed joystick controller for Xbox and PC. The Xbox Adaptive Joystick works with the company’s already robust accessibility hardware stack, and even includes support for custom 3D-printed parts.

The Adaptive series of devices and controllers has been around for years, and Microsoft has consistently worked with the accessibility community to find out what’s needed and updated accordingly. In this case, it’s a straightforward one-handed “nunchuk,” as they were once called, though this one-handed form factor is now more common in VR setups.

“Through years of research, testing and collaboration with players with disabilities, and accessibility experts, we designed the Xbox Adaptive Joystick as a wired companion to Xbox controllers, specifically for players with limited mobility.

“The Xbox Adaptive Joystick’s versatility allows players to seamlessly incorporate the controller into existing gaming setups – it can be controlled with one hand, mounted via tabletops, or used with non-hand body parts.”
