Through medical complications when young, and later through an injury sustained while enlisted in the USNavy, I have lost most of the hearing in my left ear. I still like to game, to do things that require headphones. In order for me to play anything competitive, I need to keep the volume so high for my left ear that I'm blowing out my right.

I know there are plenty of capable people in a similar position to myself, and the development of an ear-specific volume control within the volume settings on the XBox or other devices would allow functionality and a huge quality of life increase for the disabled community.

There are specific headphones out there with this capability, but they're built in and require you use their specific (subpar) hardware. An inline, physical control could be made, separating the channel of each ear to allow an individual control, but it seems developing it as a software process would make it much more accessible to those that need it without purchasing additional equipment that seems to (as of yet) not exist.

I was in the process of purchasing the hardware to solder together an inline version for myself, when I realized this suggestion might improve the lives of others.

I am partially deaf in one ear and currently struggling with audio balance on the Xbox Series X and I know many other hearing impaired people are also struggling with the lack of an audio balance slider.

This could easily be solved for the Xbox with the addition of a left/right audio balance slider.

Microsoft has been really great with so many accessibility features but there is pretty much nothing for the hearing impaired.

Many other Microsft devices along with most other platforms already have this feature and surely it can't be that hard to introduce.

As I am partially deaf in one ear it's making many games practically useless.

Hope to hear (no pun intended) from the dev team soon.

Please can we have an option to control time & usage limits for a group of apps. First attempt - group all games in one - group all media in another. We prefer to have kids play till x-time and allow media apps a little later. As the kids add new games/apps it becomes difficult to manage.

Going further is to allow custom groups so apps can be grouped and controlled.

At the moment we have had to disable screentime, and just contrlol the individual apps and smart sockets to cut out the power to the TV as a failsafe.

Perhaps going further, add in an Outlook/Power Automate integration so this can be controlled easier for power users.

Make windows headsets compatible with Xbox. I just bought a new Xbox so I can play the latest games on the Series X. But now I still need something better than my 1050 ti to run Microsoft Flyight simulator trough Xbox Gamepass.

Just make VR compatible with the Xbox. Only reason I bought the Xbox is so I don't have to buy a new computer/laptop. But now you tell me I need to install this game on pc and try to run it with my 1050 ti?

What's so hard about making virtual reality compatible with my more powerfull Xbox? I thought the Series X was the best place to play Gamepass.. guess I still need a 3000$ pc to run VR.

As a leading gaming platform it should be your responsibility to lead in latest hardware and technologisch that improve the game experience. Why ignore it?

I love with the xbox controller is that you can pretty much remap every button on the controller using the Xbox accessories app but you can only swap the triggers with each other, you can not remap any other buttons to the triggers, this is a problem for me as in some games like Ori where you use the bumpers alot is that I find using the bumpers on an xbox controller uncomfortable so remaping them to the triggers would be nice.
Also per game profiles will be nice also so I dont have to keep going in to the Xbox accessories app to change my profile.

Sony had the idea to create an analog joystick for the PlayStation. I have a disability, I cannot fully use the gamepad, fine motor skills do not work well. Now I'm working on a homemade joystick, making a model for 3D printing.
Many details are not yet ready, such as the joystick mechanism. At first I wanted to use off-the-shelf joysticks like the Logitech extreme 3d pro, but they required a lot of rework.
I also don’t know how the electronics of the xbox controller will accept the e49 hall sensors instead of the analog sticks.
here's what should happen.

The shape of the right stick resembles a vertical mouse. and the left stick is shaped like the HOTAS from the flight simulator joystick.
I think such a controller will be a suitable tool for games not only for people with disabilities, but also for ordinary gamers. Not everyone can bend their fingers into a "claw".

We want xbox to make same news xbox controllers without changing the all controllers only move the left dual shocks alignment from up position to down position and direction buttons move them from down position to up position. Like that of playstation. But don't stop making the old controllers. As old xbox controllers are not suitable for everyone and only good for EA sports fifa.So that whoever want old xbox controller version gets them and whoever wants new xbox controller versions gets them.And please make the new xbox controller version work on every xbox console and pc. Please don't stop making xbox 360,xbox ones/x and xbox series s because of its design.
