Overview
The Enabled Controller Mini is an open-source switch interface that enables adaptive switches and analog joysticks to be used with a compatible USB device such as a computer, tablet, or phone. The switches and/or joysticks can be used to input keyboard, mouse, or joystick/gamepad commands, depending on how the device is configured. The device accepts up to 4 adaptive switches (3.5 mm) and one dual-axis analog joystick as inputs. The Enabled Controller Mini is a smaller and more affordable version of the Enabled Controller.
The Enabled Controller Mini is available in 2 software versions. The USB version emulates a keyboard or a mouse. The Joystick version emulates a gamepad. Both versions use the same hardware. It is possible to change software versions using a computer and a moderately involved process.
Usage
- Connect one to four assistive switches to the appropriate input ports. The switch input ports are labeled A, B, C, D.

- Connect a micro USB cable to the USB C port on the Enabled Controller Mini.
- Connect the USB cable to the host device (e.g. computer, tablet).
