# Accelerometer

> Accelerometer (Experimental)

A sensor control that maps the devices accelerometer of the client device (if available) to a specified set of axes.

> [!WARNING]
>
> The accelerometer control is currently available for use in experimental form and may change behavior based on early adopter feedback.

## Properties

`type` - "accelerometer"

`axis` - *object* or *array*. A single [axis](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/system/touchadaptationkit/types/game-streaming-touch-axis.md) or array of [axes](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/system/touchadaptationkit/types/game-streaming-touch-axis.md) that describe the mapping of this touchpad control.

## Remarks

> [!WARNING]
