Adaptive Video Game Controllers for Gamers With Disabilities

[JVOSS | 1,808]

So we have a new Nintendo switch and my daughter loves to play Monkey Ball. Dose anyone know of a controller for the switch that is in the style of a arcade joystick or like the Xbox Adaptive controllers?

As far as arcade sticks, looks like Hori makes one:

Not sure if that fits the bill?   8BitDo makes a bigger one that you can program:  https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Arcade-Stick-Switch-Windows-nintendo/dp/B08GJC5WSS

Thanks @captmorgandrinker, these might fit the bill. we also looked in to the xbox one https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/controllers/xbox-adaptive-controller.

has anyone tried the game cube controller to switch adapter yet?  This looks to  be a viable option as we have the controllers for the game cube.

For Monkey Ball, does the d-pad work to control the game? That’s a pretty analog game, so double check how arcade sticks would work. Also what would be different between a joycon and GC controller in terms of usability.

Off topic, but the Xbox Adaptive controller is a really excellent thing. I think MS’s best contribution to gaming in general might be controller design.

GC Joystick and the switch dose not have a joystick.
