Hey heroes!

Don’t worry, we’re not here to flood your feed on Giving Tuesday... 😅

But we are here with something BIG… Like… Paralympics big! You can join our campaign by clicking the link in our bio.

We’re thrilled to officially announce the launch of our campaign to bring an Adaptive Esports Exhibition during the 2026 Paralympics in Italy!
This is our chance to show the world what accessible gaming can do: to empower players, celebrate inclusion on a global stage, and impact esports history.

If you’ve ever believed that games can change lives… this is the moment to bring together players of all abilities from across the Globe. And we need your help to spread the word.

No two adaptive set ups are the same, but Micah's is quite unique!

Micah uses a cup on top of his joystick that holds a small pole he uses his head to move around in order to move the joystick. He also has special buttons that help him control the trigger buttons of the Xbox controller.

In an interview with AbleGamers, Micah shared some of his experience with adaptive gaming:

AG: Why is gaming important to you?

M: Gaming is important to me because I can’t do anything by myself. But gaming is [something] I can do by myself.

AG: What are your favorite games to play?

M: Favorite was Burnout Revenge. They took that offline from online. Now I am playing Dangerous Driving game with my friends.

AG: Tell us about your current gaming set up.

M: My current set up is I play with a head pointer so I can use Xbox controller. On Xbox controller I have a custom cup for joystick and I got something on the triggers' button so I can push trigger buttons. My current setup has helped me a lot!

AG: How has your gaming setup changed over time?

M: Before AbleGamers help me I had to go to my OT for custom cup for joystick and I had to tape down right trigger.

AG: What advice would you give to a fellow gamer at the beginning of their accessible gaming journey?

M: My advice is you have to know what you want put to on your controller.

After experiencing several strokes, Brian was struggling to enjoy one of his favorite ways to unwind after work: gaming. Now, Brian has an accessible gaming setup that has allowed him to play with his family and friends again.

We were able to chat with Brian on his experience getting back into gaming.

AbleGamers: What were your favorite games to play before your strokes?

Brian: Call of Duty, Assassin’s Creed, FIFA, NBA 2k, God of War, just to name a few.

AG: What challenges arose from your strokes that made it difficult to game?

B: The inability to use the right thumbstick or ABXY on any normal controller.

AG: How did you go about looking for resources / information on gaming setups that would work for you?

B: First searching countless videos on YouTube, then searching reviews online I found the r/disabledgamers subreddit and it took off from there!

AG: What does gaming mean to you?

B: Everything! Since the Og NES!! Before my stroke I would play to unwind after work or whatever. After my last stroke, I really never go out of the house.

AG: How has your life been impacted by being able to game again?

B: It’s only been a week, but this week has been amazing! I was able to live a little again laughing and playing with my friends!

AG: What advice would you give to disabled gamers who are trying out adaptive gaming for the first time?

B: Research every option before you buy your first piece of equipment!! Some pieces you’ll need to work on getting used to it, and others hopefully you’ll know in the first few minutes or first days that it’s the right fit for you! Never be afraid or ashamed to ask for help and advice! I spent the last 4 years miserable when I didn’t have to be because the equipment and knowledge is out there!

Since our interview, Brian has adapted his set up further and is still having an amazing time gaming with friends and family. Brian’s current setup includes the Xbox Adaptive Controller and a Logitech G Adaptive Gaming Kit.
