The Logitech Adaptive Gaming Kit is one of the most popular and versatile accessory kits designed to work with the Xbox Adaptive Controller (XAC). Released in partnership with Microsoft, this kit makes it easier to create a fully customized gaming setup, especially for players who need alternative ways to interact with games.

At $99, it’s also a great value — if you were to buy all of the included switches and buttons individually from other shops, you’d likely pay much more.

💡
This post is about the Logitech Adaptive Gaming Kit for the Xbox Adaptive Controller (XAC). In 2024, Logitech released a similar kit for the Sony Playstation Access Controller, though it doesn't include quite as many items.

What’s Included

The kit comes with a wide variety of high-quality buttons, triggers, and accessories, all designed to plug directly into the XAC’s 3.5mm jacks.

  • Small Buttons (x3) — great for actions like jump or reload.
  • Large Buttons (x3) — easier to press and perfect for essential commands like “A” or “B”.
  • Variable Triggers (x2) — provide analog input, ideal for things like accelerating in a racing game.
  • Light Touch Buttons (x4) — require minimal force, making them perfect for players with limited strength or dexterity.
  • Velcro pads, game mats, stickers and hook-and-loop ties — for easy mounting and positioning anywhere that’s comfortable.

Why It’s Useful

What makes the Logitech Adaptive Gaming Kit stand out is how easy it is to mix and match the buttons to fit your needs. Whether you want a few large, easy-to-hit buttons or a whole setup of smaller switches mapped to specific game functions, the kit gives you that flexibility. Everything is plug-and-play with the XAC — no complicated setup required.

Who Is It For?

The kit is ideal for anyone using the Xbox Adaptive Controller who wants more options for input. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to fine-tune an existing setup, the kit helps you create a more personalized and responsive control scheme.

My Experience

I’ve been experimenting with the Logitech Adaptive Gaming Kit as part of my Xbox Adaptive Controller setup. The variety of buttons has helped me figure out which ones work best with my muscle energy issues. Having options like the light touch buttons makes a huge difference when my hands and forearms are fatigued, and the larger buttons are great when I need something easier to target quickly.
