This is our Lightweight Xbox Series X controller, designed to be easier to press and hold for gamers with muscle fatigue or challenges with operating a normal controller. Nearly every input can be turned into a tactile button, allowing for a crisp audible click noise and feel, all with low-force operation. Additionally, several internal pieces have been removed to reduce the weight of the controller, such as the rumble motors (vibration feedback).
Any gamer with limited mobility and/or strength in their hands. If the existing first-party controller is too heavy to hold, this will be lighter and easier to hold. If the buttons or triggers are difficult to use, then our Tactile button or Soft Press enhancements will make it easier to operate. Lastly, if the thumbsticks are hard to maneuver then we have multiple add-ons, such as changing the thumbstick sensitivity and/or adding thumbstick extenders, essentially elongating the thumbstick for easier grip.
Details of the modifications
Weight Reduction
Xbox Series X Controller (10.1oz - 287g)
Handle rumble motors (-2oz)
Additional internal features (-1oz)
Thumbstick Extender Lengths
Thumbstick extenders can lengthen your thumbstick and also provide a significant amount of sensitivity for operating the thumbsticks. The weight and height of the extender contributes significantly to this, making it easier to maneuver the thumbstick. Additionally you can custom make your own grip by adding moldable silicone (sugru.com) to the extender and shape it for your ergonomic needs. Lastly, the thumbstick extender is mounted to a thumbstick which is installed into your controller. It can be removed without tools and replaced with a standard evil stick, that way you can game with or without the thumbstick extender. One example could be using the extender for driving games and a standard thumbstick for shooter games.

Tactile Enhancements (low force buttons)
Hairpin Triggers
Hair Triggers require less pressure to pull the trigger the full range of movement. This is essential if the triggers are difficult to pull. Note that this feature is ideal for driving and shooting games.
Tactile Triggers
Tactile Triggers provide instant actuation with a crisp, audible click, while requiring only 122 grams of force. This is essential if the triggers are difficult to press. Note this feature is only compatible with shooters and not driving games.
Sensitive Tactile Triggers
Sensitive Tactile Triggers provide instant actuation with a crisp, audible click, while requiring only 61 grams of force. This is essential if the triggers are difficult to press. Note this feature is only compatible with shooters and not driving games.
Tactile Buttons
Tactile Buttons provide instant actuation with a crisp, audible click. This is essential if the buttons are difficult to press, due to the force required to actuate.
Soft Press Buttons
Soft Press Buttons provide easy actuation with a soft press, rather than tactile. This is essential if the buttons are difficult to press and feedback preference is a soft button rather than tactile. Note, it requires extremely little force to actuate and therefore has very little physical feedback for each press.
Tactile Directional Pad
Tactile Directional Pad provides instant actuation with a crisp, audible click. This is essential if the directional pad is difficult to press.
Soft Press Directional Pad
Soft Press Tactile Directional Pad provides easy actuation with a soft press, rather than tactile. This is essential if the buttons are difficult to press and feedback preference is a soft button rather than tactile. Note, it requires extremely little force to actuate and therefore has very little physical feedback for each button press.
Tactile Shoulders
Tactile Shoulders provide instant actuation with a crisp, audible click. This is essential if the shoulders are difficult to press.
Soft Press Shoulders
Soft Press Shoulders provide easy actuation with a soft press, rather than tactile or firm. This is essential if the shoulders are difficult to press and feedback preference is a soft button rather than firm. Note, it requires extremely little force to actuate and therefore has very little physical feedback for each press.
Sensitive Thumbsticks (low force click and movement)
Reduces the force required to press the thumbstick down and the directional movement of the stick.
