Working Together with Microsoft
Microsoft is a valued Partner donating time and equipment in support of the Foundation’s Adaptive and Inclusive eSports program. Microsoft participated in 2019 Adaptive Land and Sea Sports Challenge setting up Xbox stations, Surface Computers and Laptops allowing participants to experience Unified Sport through Electronic Gaming.
Microsoft Xbox Adaptive Controller for people with disabilities. It has two large programmable buttons and 19 jacks that can be connected to a range of joysticks, buttons, and switches to make it easier for a wider range of people to play games on Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs.
“I can customize how I interface with the Xbox Adaptive Controller to whatever I want,” says Solomon Romney, a Microsoft Store learning specialist who was born without fingers on his left hand. “If I want to play a game entirely with my feet, I can. I can make the controls fit my body, my desires, and I can change them anytime I want. You plug in whatever you want and go. It takes virtually no time to set it up and use it. It could not be simpler.”
