X-keys Joystick for Xbox Adaptive Controller (USB)

Having temporarily (?) lost faculties in my right hand, I decided to get an Xbox Adaptive controller. I was intrigued by the different input methods I could use, but was disappointed in every other brands' Xbox Adaptive joystick offerings or other simple HID compliant joysticks. I went through a 3.5mm analog stick I bought from a hobbyist, a raphnet Wii nunchuck controller adapter (which was not HID compliant like was insinuated), and a Logitech 3D Extreme Pro. I even searched the world for a PDP One Handed controller. That's when I came across X-Keys' joystick for the adaptive controller. X-Keys' joystick is expensive, but it is a very good stick. The bat topped articulation is easier than a tiny joystick for my needs. And, I have been able to play popular games very well when coupled with an X-keys 3.5mm foot switch, and the Logitech G Adaptive gaming kit. Thank you X-keys & Microsoft for this great collaboration!

Haven’t bought this yet so can’t rate it. Thinking of buying something like this for a friend who has arthritis in both hands and feet. Before I say anything else let me say I think it’s great that people are making devices like this for disabled people. Just looking at the pics and noticed a couple of things I’m not sure about. First, it looks like it’s made out of plastic similar to the way some cheap toys are made - it’s probably over priced. Second, it looks like when you move the stick towards the buttons that your stick hand will be in the way of the buttons. Wish they’d make a video of someone actually using it during real game play. Maybe they should space out the buttons further. Third, the stick looks like it would become uncomfortable to use in long game play. Forth, they should provide stickers for labeling assigned buttons. Or better yet, the buttons could be made to receive snap-on or snap-in plastic labels. Or the labeled buttons themselves could be snap-in/snap-out. After all, their charging a lot of money right?

I have thumb arthritis and using my right thumb to constantly press the A, B, X and Y buttons on the standard controller cause me to have flares. So I got this to use with my right hand to move the controller stick and use my left hand to press the buttons. Works like a charm. (The joystick is ambidextrous so If I had thumb arthritis on the other thumb I could easily reverse this and move the stick with my left hand and push the buttons with my right hand.) It's worth every penny. Has a nice 8 button keypad that is backlit. The joystick is whisper quite and extremely comfortable. It works seamlessly with the Microsoft Adaptive Controller and is easily reprogrammable via the XBOX accessories app. Highly recommended and I'm planning on buying a 2nd one.

Scummy Co. Microsoft. Just wow! Charging an arm and a leg to people who don't have an arm or leg to spare.

Ur gonna charge $230 for 8 buttons and a joystick when the cost to make this is most likely under $50. Things that allow/help physically disabled people play games should not be so damn expensive.
