Videogames are probably the most popular and lucrative art form in the 21st century; and as a result, people from diverse backgrounds are able to enjoy the medium. Unfortunately, individuals with limited mobility, cerebral palsy and other disabilities have been unable to fully immerse themselves in the experience because current control pads are unable to cater to their needs. Microsoft seeks to put an end to this issue by creating a revolutionary new controller.
The
Xbox Adaptive Controller is a customizable device with 19 jacks that can be connected to switches and joysticks in order to make it easier for
Xbox One and
PC users to play games.
Check out the video below that showcases the controller in use:

Xbox Adaptive Controller will go on sale later this year at a cost of $99.99.
