Microsoft has announced several new additions to its line of adaptive gaming products. 

The Xbox Adaptive Joystick is a new accessible controller for those with limited hand function, designed to be used in conjunction with other Xbox controllers, including the Xbox Adaptive Controller and standard Xbox controllers. The Xbox Adaptive Joystick has a thumbstick, four customizable buttons and two customizable triggers. You can use it with one hand, mount it to a table or wheelchair for stability, or mount it where you can use it with other body parts, like the chin. The Xbox Adaptive Joystick will launch in early 2025 for $29.99. 

In addition, two new adaptive controllers are available now from Designed for Xbox partners. 8BitDo has released the Lite SE 2.4G Wireless Controller, which features low-resistance buttons that sit on top of the controller and joysticks. The SE Lite comes with two customizable Super Buttons that are also compatible with the Xbox Adaptive Controller. It is available in select markets worldwide for $59.99.  

ByoWave released the modular Proteus Controller. The Proteus kit allows gamers to build a highly-customizable controller featuring modules that easily snap together and can be configured with many combinations of buttons and joysticks. You can construct the Proteus for use with as little as one finger. The Proteus is available in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe and Canada for $299.99. 

Microsoft also released 3D printable files for adaptive thumbstick toppers. The thumbstick toppers come in five shapes that you can customize to fit your needs. The 3D printable files are available now for free, though printing costs will vary.
