This joins six other thumb decorations designed for people with disabilities. Microsoft At Microsoft’s Ability Summit, the company is updating its Xbox controllers for people with disabilities. In addition to improving the overall design of 3D printable accessories, the company is adding a seventh shape to the line. Microsoft launched its Thumbstick Topper accessibility program in 2024, and today’s announcement marks its first upgrade. Based on feedback from the disability community, the new design is said to be more durable and less likely to come loose during particularly intense play. As for this new shape, say hello to the “goal post” mattress topper. (Living up to its name, it looks a bit like something an NFL kicker would aim for.) It joins the other six shapes: plate, dome, narrow stick, “pull” (a deep bowl-shaped surface), sphere, and a custom base for adding moldable materials like clay or plastic. The redesigned decorations, including the new goal post shape, will be available on the Xbox Design Lab homepage on Thursday, May 21. (It’s World Accessibility Awareness Day.) The files are free to download, but you’ll still need access to a 3D printer. Post navigation Late additions to Xbox Game Pass could include Forza Horizon 6 and Remnant II
