Since 2023, I’ve been developing PlayAbility Adaptive Software, a Windows app that lets you add the controls you’re missing and build your perfect controller setup. The idea is simple: with just your webcam and microphone, PlayAbility gives you face and voice recognition on top of the peripherals you already use: keyboard, mouse, gamepads, adaptive devices so you can extend them with new ways to play and fully control every game the way you want. You can download the app here playability.gg/ and use it for free with unlimited access to all features, with one profile included. What you can do with PlayAbility: Voice recognition in 24 languages Say a word or phrase and instantly trigger any action: keyboard keys, mouse clicks, gamepad buttons, analog sticks, or triggers. Control analog sticks and triggers with your head and face Move your head to steer, aim, or look around, and use facial gestures to accelerate, brake, or fire. Everything behaves like a real stick or trigger, not just digital presses. Turn mouse movements into game controls Convert mouse movement into analog stick aiming, WASD-style keyboard inputs, or even gamepad button presses. Use facial gestures as universal inputs Smile, blink, raise your eyebrows — any gesture can become a button press, a trigger, or even continuous stick movement. PlayAbility recognizes over 50 different face gestures, so you can choose the ones that feel most natural to you. Control your mouse hands-free Use head tracking to move the cursor, and combine facial gestures or mapped keys to click, drag-and-drop, or scroll. Works for both gaming and everyday PC use. Unify all your gear Merge adaptive controllers, joysticks, pedals, or any gamepad with PlayAbility’s inputs into a single, seamless virtual controller. Mix head, mouse, and keyboard inputs Combine head movements with mouse motion or keyboard presses, and map them to any gamepad action, trigger, or stick. Remap everything to game controls Reassign keyboard keys, mouse clicks, mouse movement, voice, and face/head gestures to any gamepad button, stick, or trigger — or directly to keyboard presses and mouse clicks. Play beyond your PC Control PlayStation 5 and Xbox consoles via Remote Play, and the Nintendo Switch with an 8BitDo Micro adapter. And this is just the beginning, something very cool is coming soon ;) --- I try my best to make PlayAbility as accessible as possible, that’s why I’ve committed to offering full access to all features with one profile included, for free. If you enjoy the app and want to support my work, I’ve introduced a premium subscription that lets you create unlimited profiles: €8 per month €60 per year €129 for lifetime access I didn’t start PlayAbility as a business venture, but as a personal mission to make a difference, first with my french Twitch community, and now with the 230 community members on the PlayAbility Discord. You can join the discord here link.playability.gg/DiscordI… Feel free to reach out to ask for features or customizations! I keep adding and testing feature every week based on what people ask me.

I just got these two awesome (and affordable!) controllers from @8BitDo for $15 each. They were originally made as accessories for their retro keyboard and feature a dual jack output, with each jack handling two actions. The great news is that by using a stereo-to-mono jack converter, they work perfectly with the Xbox Adaptive Controller and more! #adaptivegaming #a11y
