I want to start by saying that I love the Zwift Platform. I have been using it for the past 5 months, and it has helped me turn cycling into a daily practice. I recently upgraded from a Spin Bike to the Zwift Ride, which, in only my first few rides, has made everything feel brand new. I love that I can virtually manage my gears instead of putting my focus on adding resistance to match the gradient of the route.
The only functionality I would like to see added would be the ability to remap the controllers to suit the rider’s unique needs. For example, I have hemiparesis in my left arm, which prevents me from being able to press buttons with my left hand. Unfortunately, this limitation also extends to using the steering and shifters on the left ride/play controller.
I have tried the different shifting styles and found that the sequential style works best for me. However, because the shifting layout for sequential is limited to LS1/LS2 to shift to an easier gear and RS1/RS2 to shift to a harder gear, I have had to resort to using the click on my drop bar to shift up and down using only my right hand.
While this solution works, I wanted to see if it would be possible to add the ability to customize the button layout for the ride/play controllers. This functionality would enable me to map the controller so that I can use RS1 to shift to a harder gear and RS2 to shift to an easier gear on my controllers. Additionally, if it would be possible to remap my steering to be able to steer left and right using only my right controller, It would enable me to use these Zwift Features more activley.
I hope you would consider adding this to the game to enhance the accessibility and usability of your platform.
