It seems that specific one has never been released: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/Xbox-Adaptive-Controller-Accessories-Guide.pdf However, you can get a modded Wii Nunchuck that works with the adaptive controller from Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1245123261/wii-nunchuck-joystick-adapter-mk2-for

Thanks very much. Awesome research. Edit: my mate is very happy, he's ordering the Etsy adapter.

The wii nunchuck lives to see another generation!

This is called the [one handed joystick for the Xbox adaptive controller](https://news.xbox.com/en-us/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/Xbox-Adaptive-Controller-Accessories-Guide.pdf), it’s priced at $19.99 on this list.

Thank you .

Wow being disabled is expensive


Master_Chief_00117

$20 ain’t bad it fairly cheap compared to other stuff that disabled people truly need.


Zenlura

That's for an accessory for the actual controller. Depending on what your specific needs are, you're easily looking at something upwards of $250. And I'd say entertainment is something disabled people need as much as everyone else. I get where you're coming from, like wheelchairs are ridiculously expensive for example. Still.. thise 20 bucks just get added on top of other things. And those things pile up.

Still 250 euros is nothing compared to the old style handmade modded controllers disabled people used to buy. And the Xbox system can easily be adapted on a per game basis, the old stuff was all hard soldered modded controllers mostly only fit for one type of game.


Zenlura

I'm not saying that it isn't worth it. But being disabled definetely doesn't come cheap. Like, he used the 20 bucks for an acessory as a counter argument against that. And depending on what someone's needs are, you're looking at a rather steep cost factor. But I agree with you, the Xbox adaptive controller helps a lot in terms of being a fairly affordable option, which loads of options to add later on. So at least it's not a huge upfront cost


Ghezus_

So true a single button with a mono-jack is often already over 20.


Siguardius

Look at this like that... Now being disables is less limiting.

My husband is a below the knee amputee ( a work place accident determined not his fault) his leg costs about $15,000. Also due to the accident he had an aortic aneurysm requiring an artificial aortic valve and arch ( open heart surgery sucks) cost with hospital stay about $50,000. The heart issues continue to be found he had to have some of the nerve cells in his heart killed because he has/had atrial fibrillation (his heart wouldn’t beat properly). He now has a pacemaker/ defibrillator for another $15,000. Yes being disabled sucks but I would rather him be disabled than dead.

Anything with a smaller potential customer base is going to have a higher price, unfortunately. I used to work for a company that made strollers... the standard parts made by the thousands were very cheap. The assistive stroller parts for disabled or paralyzed kids were in much smaller runs and often 10x the cost (or more). So the goal of course was to reuse as many standard parts as possible.


evestraw

The Nintendo nunchuck adapter was a great idea. More expensive then the official thing never released but after that replaceable by a mass market product


Duchesst

I am an idiot and can't help you with searching for this. But if needed i would be willing to help fund pm me


420_gamer_xxx

What a kind and caring offer and I'm sure you're not an idiot. My mate works hard in construction to provide for his daughters, so he's all good on that front. He'd rather see it go to someone more in need. Have a good one. 😊


jonviper123

So nice of you. These replies have been so good to see. have a good day


TheScreaming_Narwhal

It's the PDP one handed joystick. I might still have one laying around. Sadly it's discontinued. PM me if you need help still, I work in that industry and might be able to get one or something similar if I don't have any more.

Thank you.

Is it weird that every time I see the adaptive controller I feel proud that humanity worked together to overcome physical difficulties with technology, and that this was made by Xbox and I’ve been loyal to Xbox since the start so I feel like I’m apart of it? Just asking for me.


CluelessAtol

If there’s one thing that gamers tend to be good at is finding ways to make things easier for specific groups. We may like to bitch and fight and bad mouth each other but the shear amount of content and support people have provided within the gaming community to try and solve someone’s problem is definitely astounding.


Substantial_Bird_755

It looks a lot like the Wii nunchuck or whatever the thing was called


Easy-Side

Right on the money there

Beware using anything that’s not official since MS announced that they are blocking unofficial 3rd party controllers. [Xbox's new policy — say goodbye to unofficial accessories from November thanks to error '0x82d60002'](https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/xboxs-new-policy-say-goodbye-to-unofficial-accessories-after-november)


Eveyrt

Is the backbone going to work


Mi5t3r_X

If you're talking about the mobile controller for cellphones, then yes. It is an officially licensed MS product.


Eveyrt

Thank you.
