While Xbox's Adaptive Controller was lauded for its innovative design and potential for individual customization, it still presented a barrier for gamers with disabilities. Enter Logitech's Adaptive Gaming Kit:
was celebrated by many in the video game industry as a step forward for inclusive hardware design. While the XAC was lauded for its innovative design and potential for individual customization, its price point — coupled with the surrounding pricing issue for peripheral add-ons needed by many gamers with disabilities to use the device — still presented a barrier.
Logitech partnered with Microsoft to develop the Adaptive Gaming Kit specifically for the controller. The new offering features a large assortment of light-touch buttons, sensitive triggers that "function like gas pedals," according to Desai and various small switches that can be used with much less force than traditional controllers.
"The important thing they did was test with lots of individuals with different disabilities," Cherry Rae, an accessibility specialist who consulted with Logitech on the Adaptive Gaming Kit, says. "You can’t design for disabled people without testing with them. They made sure they covered the whole range."
