Xbox Adaptive Controller

The Xbox Adaptive Controller is a controller made by Microsoft for use mainly with the Xbox One and Windows 10, as well as being forwards compatible with the Xbox Series X|S and has the ability to be used with other console brands as well.

Being released in September of 2018, this controller provides a way for gamers with limited mobility to play games as they can customize their input to fit what suits them best.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) This is the first modern controller that has been designed to help those with limited mobility to get into gaming.
 * 2) The packing for this controller is well thought out, and has been designed to be easily opened and removable to those with limited mobility.
 * 3) Each individual button has a 3.5 mm jack assigned to it (and each analog stick getting a USB jack), allowing for accessory buttons to be placed anywhere the user needs it.
 * 4) Even more so, each jack can be reassigned to a different button input in the Xbox accessory app if you're playing on an Xbox One or Series X|S.
 * 5) The controller has the ability to be mounted to a stand (for those who are limited to a wheelchair) to it can he held up for the user or (if the user wants to utilize the large buttons provided on the controller) be raised to their face level so they can interact with the controller with their face.
 * 6) There is a loadout feature on the controller where the user can switch between three different button loadouts (should they so desire) depending on the game they are playing.
 * 7) While the controller is primarily built with Windows 10 PCs and the Xbox line of consoles, it isn't hardware-locked; this means that this controller has the potential to be used on other consoles like the Nintendo Switch and even the PlayStation 4!
 * 8) This controller is battery-powered and charges via USB-C; this decision was made with the intention that limited mobility gamers don't have to worry about changing batteries when they run low.
 * 9) The controller has a function called co-pilot mode, made for users with only one hand: in this mode, users can use a standard Xbox One controller along side the adaptive controller.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The controller is more expensive than a standard Xbox One controller, costing $100.
 * 2) It doesn't come with accessory inputs, requiring the user to have to purchase them separately.
