Connecting to an Xbox game console
Connecting D-Pad cables
To connect to an Xbox game console, you will first need to connect
Game On
to an Xbox Adaptive Controller.
Do not connect Game On to any of the USB sockets on the Xbox console as these do not support generic game
controllers. Instead, connect the socket marked PC/ XAC LEFT [9] to the left socket on the Xbox Adaptive
Controller and the socket marked XAC RIGHT [10] to the right socket. This is necessary because each socket
on Xbox Adaptive Controller only supports some of the game controller functions. Please refer to Figure 1.
Many games can be played perfectly well without the
D-Pad buttons. However, if the D-Pad is necessary
for the games you intend to play, you will need to
make four more connections between
Game On
and
the Xbox Adaptive Controller using sockets [11]. We
have provided four colour coded cables and a decal
to make this easier. Begin by attaching the coloured
decal to your Xbox Adaptive Controller as shown
in Figure 2, making sure it is correctly orientated
and adjacent to the four D-Pad sockets. (Note that
an ‘L’ and ‘R’ is included on the decal to help with
orientation). Now connect the corresponding cables
to the
Game On
sockets and to the Xbox Adaptive
Controller, so red goes to red, yellow to yellow and so
on. See Figure 3.
Unfortunately, neither of the sockets support the D-Pad functions, nor the Left and Right Triggers. If these
are required for the games you intend to play, you will need to follow one or both of the next two steps:
