What Our Users Say
"Thanks to Playability, the hope of playing video games again without my hands has become a reality. Its creator is dynamic and accessible via Discord, don't hesitate anymore!"
Michael KLAUSZ
"A superb experience with great playability. The smooth and functional gameplay, along with all the updates, makes for an excellent experience. A huge thank you for this application, which finally makes video games accessible to everyone. Thank you, Valentin."

"PlayAbility is a very useful program because with its facial and voice recognition AI, it allows me to configure multiple actions in games that I couldn't use before. It's also very practical to be able to configure it on an Xbox controller, as Windows recognizes this type of peripheral perfectly (being from Microsoft). But that's not all, it allows you to configure keyboard keys, individually and combined, configure keyboard for Xbox buttons, Xbox buttons to activate keyboard keys, etc. And it still has more features that I don't master yet and that escape any assessment I can make. As I said, PlayAbility is a very complete program that opens up the universe of video games (on PC and consoles, it's important to remember) to people with disabilities, like me."

Add missing controls or remap everything
Map any input to any output: face gestures, head movement, voice, mouse, keyboard, gamepad, or switches.
A smile becomes a button. A head tilt becomes an analog stick. A word becomes an action.
Turn what you can use into what the game expects, precisely and reliably.
Full Analog Gamepad Control
Turn your head to steer or aim, and use a smile or eyebrow raise as button presses.
PlayAbility Adaptive Software lets these act as analog controls – not just on/off – for precise steering and aiming!
Next-Gen Head Tracking mouse
Aim, look around, and control the mouse using head movement. Move the cursor with natural head motion, then click, drag, and scroll using facial gestures or assigned keys.
Outside of gameplay, the same setup lets you control your entire PC hands-free. You can also move the mouse using face gestures, keyboard presses, or gamepad inputs.
Interactive On-Screen Overlay
Control your game using on-screen buttons and virtual joysticks. Click or drag the controls to generate real gamepad, keyboard, or mouse inputs.
The overlay can be used on its own or combined with face, head, voice, mouse, keyboard, or adaptive devices, even without a physical controller.
Merge all your device in one
PlayAbility Adaptive Software can combine your adaptive controllers, joysticks, pedals, and its face/voice inputs into a single gamepad, mouse or keyboard.
Webcam, microphone, keyboard, mouse, gamepad, adaptive controllers – use what you already have. Add what you need.
Works with every PC and console game
PlayAbility creates a virtual controller behind the scenes, so games think you're using a normal keyboard, mouse, or Xbox controller.
With Remote Play or adapter support, you can also play on PlayStation 5, Xbox consoles, and even Nintendo Switch. Your custom controls, everywhere you game.
Easy Setup with Templates you can Customize and Share
Save your configurations as profiles and switch between setups for different games or users.
PlayAbility Adaptive Software comes with built-in profile templates (e.g. basic 1-stick arcade, racing setup, full gamepad, mouse control, etc.) to help you get started, all of which you can tweak or you can create a profile from scratch for complete control.
