Ep. 2: How to use the Xbox Adaptive Controller on Android devices | Android Access
12In Episode 2 of this short series looking at access to Android games, we are going to look at how an Xbox Adaptive Controller (XAC) can be used to create a customised controller, as an alternative option to using the touchscreen or a standard controller.
The XAC was created as a first-party controller for Xbox and Windows 10/11, but it is also recognised as a supported controller on Android devices. It acts as a controller interface, allowing you to customise your set-up with a range of switches and joysticks that you find easier to access than the buttons and sticks on a standard controller.
