Xbox Adaptive Controller

Probably not something most of us think about, but this is a pretty cool bit of tech.

This along with co-pilot that they have had for a while are pretty amazing accessibility options for something most of us take for granted. I can't imagine they make any money on this, kudos to MS for working on this.

I am very interested as my Niece is quadriplegic and has use full use of only her left hand and partial on the right. She loves games but the only controllers she was able to use were for her gamecube and her Wii. Shes dying to play Horizon Zero Dawn but its impossible. Hopefully this will become a huge thing. I'd be all over it!

There is a guy in the video with that exact issue (though swapped). Will need to bug Sony to do this for PS4.

Depending on what software is needed or how it actually gets input from external devices, there are adapters to allow xbox controllers to work on the PS4.
