So I have been thinking about getting one of these for a couple months now. Seeing one reminded me of the whole “Leverless” or Hitbox craze. After looking into what this was designed for I realized it would be a great fit for my daughter. She wants to play games but due to a condition she has trouble with her motor skills. Well I can say in the first night it’s great. Installing the Ultimate X software was easy, updating the controller was quick and easy. Everything you need to customize the controller is right there on the app. We even tinkered with the Super Buttons as well. Another very useful and cool feature. The sticks I will say almost feel too loose, they move with almost no force behind them. I was able to adjust but they slide around very easily. Another great feature I figured out tonight is this controller DOES work with the Steam Deck. Now i download the app on my windows pc, also I have not had a chance to try the deck with the dongle. That being said I couldn’t find anything about this controller being used on the Deck and I can definitely confirm it works great wired. As for wireless I’ll test tomorrow. Overall great product

Background information:I have hemiplegia (a form of cerebral palsy), which causes significant weakness down my right side. As a result, I find it incredibly difficult to game, especially for long periods of time, both due to pain and hand fatigue.Unboxing experience:The item came in well-presented packaging and for the most part was easy to open. However, the small packaging containing the dongle was difficult to open.Setup:I'm actually using this combined with my PC rather than an Xbox, but within about 10 seconds of connecting the dongle into the PC, the controller was ready to be used.Layout:I feel the layout of the controller could be better (buttons perhaps more spread out?) - I did have to spend a while remapping controls to make it suitable (for example, the right trigger button is way too close to the Y button).Rumble:I was surprised to see that this controller does actualy have some rumbling! (for example, when I press a button, it rumbles to let me know I'm pressing it)Differences between this and a regular Xbox controller:The bumpers and triggers are actually buttons.Buttons for up, down, left and right rather than a DPad (i'm not sure if this benefits some people with disabilities, but it certainly doesn't benefit me!)Lighter and easier to hold (for me, this makes it less fatiguing and painful)Buttons:The good thing about the buttons is that they are very responsive, which is perfect for people with disabilities.Summary:It does well for the purpose I bought it for (to be able to play Rocket League whilst navigating the market for accessible controllers/PC accessories). As well as this, it would be useful if there was a black version (white stuff tends to get dirty quickly)Will update further with an idea of how long the battery life is once I have spent a bit more time using it.

Impossible de configure chaque touche (c'eest soit disant possible...)

I purchased this pup to use as a camera controller in Microsoft Flight Simulator, and I am not disappointed. Since it is smaller than the typical X-Box controller and sits flat on my desk, it is perfect for this purpose.I have the left stick configured to control head movement and the right configured to translate the view. Consequently, moving about the cockpit is super easy and much more intuitive than the awkward combination of rotary controls I formerly used on my Stream Deck.Overall quality is much better than expected, too. The smaller sticks do take a little getting used to, but they provide smooth and precise control once you do. I am disabled and have limited mobility in my hands and arms, yet I find the buttons and sticks on this device quite easy to use now that I have used it for a while. I'm confident anyone in the same boat will find this quite capable of providing responsive and non-fatiguing gaming experience.Money well spent, in my opinion.

The media could not be loaded.

Admittedly, I did not realize that this controller is intended for those with limited mobility and thus I am not able to speak to that aspect of it, but I can talk about the differences that 8bitDo has done to tailor this controller to those with limited mobility. Before we start, could a non-mobility restricted individual use this as a controller?  Absolutely, but is it a good idea? No. The changes made to accommodate those with limited mobility would be a detriment with the biggest drawbacks being the left trigger and left underside buttons requiring you to move your thumb off of the stick to activate.  Also, the rectangular design is simply not as comfortable to hold compared to a regular upside down U, "croissant" shaped controller.This controller, with its rectangular shape, is reminiscent of controllers from days past such as the NES and SNES, albeit with sticks instead of just a D-PAD.  There are 4 buttons on the left above the stick that can act as a D-PAD, but they are meant to be pressed with your pointer, middle and ring fingers much like how you would operate the arrow keys on a keyboard (or WASD keys) as opposed to using your thumb.  This is because the joystick is meant to be able to be used while lying flat on a table like a keyboard, if needed.  Clever, as those with limited mobility may not have the dexterity to hold a controller in their hands.  Like the NES controller, there are no buttons on the sides or underneath.  EVERY Xbox button (including trigger buttons and underneath buttons) are accessed from the top, meaning the controller does not need to be held in the hand.  Again, this goes back to being able to use the controller without having to hold it.  The buttons are also easier to press than a regular controller.Additionally, included are two "super buttons" which are essentially just very large buttons that are easy to press and can be mapped to a specific button on the controller. Unfortunately, multiple key presses are not supported and the super buttons are literally only meant to be able to map a single button on the controller to it.  As there are 2 of them, this can be great for mapping the two most used buttons or perhaps for playing retro NES games. :)The Hall effect sticks have a nice feel to them and should reduce the chances of getting dreaded stick drift like basically every non-hall effect xbox controller eventually gets.  They're also more sensitive than regular sticks and the sensitivity can be programmed using the 8bido Ultimate Software X which must be downloaded to a PC for interfacing with the controller.  Firmware updates for the controller are also done through the PC which connects via an included USB A to USB C cable.  Furthermore, connecting a cable in this manner allows the controller to be used as a wired controller on both PC and Xbox, as well as to charge the controller.A wireless gaming experience is a must have and they achieve that via 2.4 GHz wireless.  Because it is not using Bluetooth, it does mean you will need to plug the included USB dongle into your Xbox or PC to be wireless.  In the event the wireless controller becomes unpaired, the controller can be re-paired by following the below instructions:1. With the controller turned off, press and hold the Star + Profile + Xbox  buttons to turn on the controller.  The Status LED will blink rapidly.2. Connect the USB dongle to your xbox or PC and wait for the controller to pair.  Both LED indicators on the controller and the adapter will go solid once the pairing has completed.This is a very niche product and although I can't speak to its effectiveness, common sense tells me that the thoughtfulness that went into the creation of this unique controller make it worthy of 5 stars. Kudos to 8BitDo for putting out such a niche and inclusive product!

I understand that I might not be the intended audience for such a product but allow me to still share my thoughts on them. As a whole, the experience using this is excellent. These are foremost designed for people with disabilities and as such the controller is designed to sit on a flat surface rather than be held in hand. There is a big rubberized pad on the back of the controller that keeps it put very nicely, and does not get in the way of using it handheld either.The buttons are a pleasant experience too. They are very responsive and require only a light actuation to work. The edges of the button are also rounded enough that you can smear your fingers across smoothly. Naturally, there are no shoulder buttons but they are instead placed just above the normal XYAB and directional buttons (instead of a traditional D-pad). The joysticks are also excellent and move very responsively, and movements can be very reliably be reproduced.The whole thing plugs and plays and is really easy to set up. Of course, when it comes to the two super buttons, you should get the 8BitDo software to configure them.So overall, this thing is really quite well made and disability or not, if you like this layout this can be a good controller for you. It's really well made and all the buttons feel and behave great. One small use case for anyone would be using this for fighting games. The button layout is reminiscent of an arcade machine but of course with some small difference in placement of the left shoulder buttons. The directional buttons are smoother to use than a standard D pad, although the joysticks are not long enough nor have defined gates to act as a fight stick, but can still perform great for those kind of uses among many others.

I got this controller without fully realizing it was specifically designed for accessibility. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into making it easier for people with limited mobility to enjoy gaming. The flat layout and soft buttons are great for anyone who has trouble holding a traditional controller or pressing standard triggers. If you’re shopping for someone who struggles with fine motor skills or grip strength, this is a fantastic option.That said, this isn’t a general-purpose controller. The button layout is very different from a regular Xbox controller, so if you’re not buying it for accessibility needs, it may feel a bit odd to use. It’s better suited for tabletop use, and the joystick sensitivity is extremely light, which can be tricky for certain games.One cool feature is the Super Buttons—they’re large and fully programmable, adding extra flexibility.✔ Pros:Designed for accessibility with soft, easy-to-press buttonsProgrammable Super Buttons for customizationWireless and wired optionsLightweight and portableGreat for retro or simulation games✘ Cons:Layout feels unconventional for gamers used to standard controllersJoysticks are overly sensitive for fast-paced gamesNot ideal for competitive or heavy trigger-use gamingThis review takes a look at the Lite SE 2.4G Wireless Controller made by 8BitDo.
