Xbox's new accessibility features include remapping keyboard keys to controllers

Microsoft has outlined some of the new Xbox accessibility features due in the coming months, including the ability to remap keyboard keys to the Xbox Adaptive Controller and Elite Series 2.

As detailed over on Xbox Wire, players will soon be able to remap almost 90 keyboard keys – or combinations of keys – to any button on the Xbox Adaptive Controller and Elite Series 2, meaning users with limited mobility can, for instance, use the Xbox Adaptive Controller with games that would ordinarily only support mouse/keyboard.

The feature – which will be available through the Xbox Accessories app on PC and console – is currently being tested by Xbox Insiders and Xbox Accessibility Insiders League (XAIL) members, but is due to launch for all players at some point “in the coming months”.
