  • Hi, this video shows you how to use the Xbox Adaptive Controller on the PlayStation 4. This might be useful if you are a limited mobility gamer and find using the Sony DualShock 4 controller hard.
    Remember this is not supported by Sony and it will not work as well on the PS4 as it does on the Xbox One console. Hopefully in the future Sony will allow the use of the Xbox Adaptive Controller natively without any adapters. But until then it is still possible to use it as shown in this video.
    If you have used this Xbox Adaptive controller on Xbox, Switch, PC or PS4 etc. then please add your feedback about it (good or bad) down in the comments as it will help others who might be thinking about buying it.
    I have only tested it for a couple of days and I am able-bodied so there might be many things that I don't understand or have missed out in the video.
    Thanks for watching it.
    Vince :-)

    All console manufacturer should produce adaptive controllers. Let's hope this starts a trend.

      @boblowes Před 4 lety +5

      They shouldn't need to, as Microsoft (and hats off to them for this) has done the hard work and released their brilliant adaptive controller already. Sony and Nintendo could collaborate with Microsoft and just release official device drivers for the it to make it work on the PS4 and Switch respectively. Fortunately, as that doesn't seem to be happening, we have companies like Brook who have stepped in to make it possible for people with limited abilities to be able to enjoy games on the Switch and PS4 too.

    That's ingenuity right there. :)
    Who would think that the old Buzz controllers that you get with so many used Ps2's or Ps3's would potentially be so useful so many years later? Really awesome of you to do Vince, and explained really well. I'm sure that this will help a lot of people who are disabled, or at least give them some wacky ideas on how to overcome their disability and have a good time! Great video!

      Microsoft and Sony should team up and fuse their controller variations together, so that you can choose. x ○ ◻△ and ABXY should be in every game (even in steam).

      1. Microsoft made these and are selling them for a massive financial loss and that's okay. They wanted to do this for the betterment of gaming as a whole. Research and Development are insanely expensive.

    I got that Controller as a gift (been onehanded currently) but found it to be working so much better with the xbox than ps4. Microsoft has a copilot feature, allowing you to use a normal controller with the left and the adaptive controller with the feet, without any extra tools or issues. It just works. Currently playing witcher 3 again, finally!

  • @ChriDDel
    @ChriDDel Před 3 lety +2

    Logitech has an adaptive Button set for 99€. It's good value for people how can't solder.
    I bought the adaptive controller for a friend a year ago. He is an console collector and looses the ability to move his right arm and hand 2 years ago.
