Xbox Adaptive Controller First Look
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Microsoft stumbled into the accessibility market about three years ago, with the launch of the Xbox One Elite controller. The Elite wasn't designed to help people with disabilities play video games -- in fact, it was built for hardcore players who wanted more mapping options by adding rear paddle buttons, more sensitive triggers and interchangeable analog sticks to the classic dual-grip Xbox gamepad.
It just so happened these features were also in high demand at organizations like AbleGamers, whose goal is to make gaming accessible to anyone with disabilities via education, community support and the creation of custom controllers.

As much as people love to hate Microsoft, I'm proud of them for bringing gaming to the disabled. Gaming should be enjoyed by everyone equally. Props to MS.
John Connor this is y i stood with Microsoft because they have been pushing pro consumer practices lately so i went with them they are making a comeback sony has been the opposite lately pc there was custom controllers for people with disabilities so Microsoft doing this is nice
Was more to do with the people that develop the controllers for disabled people. Teams like Special Effects in the UK. They make all kinds of specialized controllers for the disabled. They helped make this Xbox one.
I give them major props to stepping up and being one of the first major official companies to introduce this, still doesn't mean that they are still better than sony in a consumer and costumer standpoint in other ways but this still is a milestone compared to just the other details
Swoofty they are good and bad in many ways sony just doesn't want cross play and try to avoid it
Xbox officially just lost this generation
Well, I think this explains where all of Apples 3.5 jacks have gone.
Sweet Brew 👏👏👏
Good one
Sweet Brew
LMAO
Apple: "we couldn't fit a 3.5mm jack in the new iPhone."
Microsoft: "I dunno just slap 19 of those on the new controller or something."
lmao
LOL
"Evolution."
What kind of comparison is that?
Avoimesti Autisti lol
"The backside is where all the magic happens." Tell that to my girlfriend.
EDIT: I no longer have a girlfriend.
BlasterMaster why would you let her see the comment, idiot?
lol this need more likes
A 2 part tragedy.
BlasterMaster I really wish I were you right now
F
Joke all you want about the lack of Xbox exclusives or PlayStation being the better system, this is really touching and a fantastic idea from Microsoft, opening up a whole new world for people who weren’t able to play before.
Good job guys, you should be really proud of this.
Joe Harvey you act like video games are great for everybody
React King they are
Joe Harvey I'd be more impressed if they wasn't cashing in on people's misfortune. I mean really $99 for this. It's a cash grab.
React King great for everybody? Maybe not. But this controller is great for anybody who’s ever looked at a normal controller and wished they were able to play something
React King Lol you dumb.
This is awesome for disabled folks. Kudos to MS for thinking about this often forgotten community when it comes to gaming.
You know this shit is great. This is clearly a passion project. Someone at Microsoft took the time to think of way to really help. Bless up 🙌🙌🙌
The real reason why Xbox disable the comments on there launch video was because they didn’t want to get sued by all the disabled people that would have gotten made fun of and trolls like me trying to convince them how they should their lives to stop their suffering.
No, the reason is because the internet is a cesspool of hate that would have made stupid jokes about "more controllers/no games". Good on them for disabling the comments - just watch it and walk away.
dani_i89 How about no because it’s anti-free speech and we the consumer are entitled to our opinions for what is good for the market and honestly this thing is good for the market but the way Microsoft is handling the PR is honestly retarded.
Ben Wang This has nothing to do with free speech. It has more to do with ignorant fuckers making ignorant and unintelligent comments that may be hurtful to certain people. I'm glad Microsoft didn't give those vile people a voice by shutting the comments down.
Imadeyourun No matter how you put it’s shutting down free-speech and discussion no matter how unintelligent or stupid it may be and honestly this makes Microsoft look like Facebook but worse as in you can’t speak at all so what’s the point of a community good or bad.
Wow thank you Xbox for thinking about the disabled gamers just great!!!
Adrian Salcedo It supports the right to be happy. How and whenever possible! Anything to help take the edge off their challenges, seems ideal really.
I love this more than I can express.
I'm kind of that disable gamer
True Tech but there all ready 3rd party controller for the disabled
RGD SIGMAS edge
“I never thought I could play forza with one hand!”
*crashes around every turn*
She's even worse with both hands.
I didnt expect her to be shit, shes not from polygon
Even people with no disabilities would want this really - cause you can make your dream cockpit with this.
Charles Sami Amyouni yeah imagine Forza with real pedals and a steering wheel
Ajthem 55 You dont need this. Yku can buy an actual steering wheel made for xbox
P4z4n
you missed the point so badly that i'm not going to bother explaining it because you'd probably just start repeating yourself but louder
You can Make that using a regular controller,some chords and some wood parts
I feel like you could use this controller to rig up a keyboard and mouse
This makes me so happy!
I feel good knowing that people with disabilities can enjoy the same thing that was always natural to me.
Graduação Nerd cant wait to be insulted online by disabled people. And I say that with love lol.
Now xbox just needs actual games worth playing on it.
PepicWalrus oh come on. You're just a fanboy.
PepicWalrus it's got plenty. Whether old or new, it still has tons of games: OG Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One. Also a lot of the Xbox Games are cross compatible with PC so you can multiplayer with the PC community and have master race graphics.
PS4 is still struggling finding its niche for backwards compatibility. You can sign up for their Playstation Now program though, but why pay for something I already paid for?
Microsoft may be struggling finding IPs for their system, but they are making land grab in other directions. In the end, all consoles have their audience and no one console is superior to the other.
Because PC blows them out of the water.
I know this made me smile so much more than any AAA game ever has
Im a sony guy but i got to say this made my day. Great job Microsoft
Bubba Moore hows those exclusives me i dpnt care really except for samurai warriors 4 but how are they
Cravenmarigold 2 there awesome just finished god of war and already pre ordered spiderman. Also a Nintendo guy and loving the switch
Hang on sony is gonna do that too
Bubba Moore yo dude, it doesn't matter what console you favor, as long as you choose love over hate you'll always be a mother fuckin winner! Also I remember reading a reddit post from way back about a disabled kid writing someone at Sony asking for some new options to be put in a game he loved to allow him to play better, and they actually patched in the options he asked for AND sent him a specialized controller that better allowed him to play. So clearly the love for gaming exists on both sides. Cheers to you & happy gaming from an Xbox fan.
Bubba Moore have you played samurai warriors 4 or fire ebelm warriors made by the same people if you haven't give them a shot samurai is my favorite Series but became exclusive for ps4 because xbox is not know in japan and the game is not well known in America
Ever since Phil Spencer took over for Xbox they've been doing some great things. I own a PC and ps4, but I still appreciate all consoles for what they have to offer instead of just hating on something to bandwagon. Hats off to Microsoft for taking this step.
Why hasn’t PlayStation done this 90% of their player base are disabled
DigitalLine 6008 damnn!!!!!
DigitalLine 6008 well they made it for Xbox because they knew all of their consumers are disabled
I just burst out laughing when I read this. Thanks. Haha
Couch gaming news that was poor
DigitalLine 6008 DAMN BRO CHILL
The fact that Microsoft took their time to make a product like this shows how amazing they are to their community. Great job, Xbox.
This is amazing and frightening that more people will be schooling me on dragonball fighter z :(
Kay Aitch but it won't sell at gamestop..
The real reason why Xbox disable the comments on there launch video was because they didn’t want to get sued by all the disabled people that would have gotten made fun of and trolls like me trying to convince them how they should end their lives to stop their suffering.
Ehhhh you can sue people for trolling mate. Also, why would someone sue Microsoft (the entire corporation) for something they have not done?i I think they just disabled the comments because they didn't want the stupid console war bullshit to taint their superb innovation.
Na you'll be okay, it's just more cannon fodder to practice on.
Im aleady doing it with a CONTROler
As a PCMR piece of shit and long-time classic PlayStation fanboy, this is super cool and just makes me warm inside
Well Im pretty sure that this controller works with windows 10 too. And Its developers by microsoft so i guess that It could also be called a PC controller
It does, anywhere an Xbox controller works this will too.
Klumsy Kameleon we did not say that. I mean, it doesnt really have any exclusives in reality, They all are on pc too! But on pc it will just look and peform They Way you want it to. And mods. And any periphale out there. And free online.
*Wow, i love this so much, good job Microsoft!* 😘
HENRY THE RC CAR Henry what are you doing here
Lil Kachowski exactly what I was going to say
HENRY THE RC CAR HI!
He's here cause he doesn't have hands, guys
Casey Cactus 😔
Thank you xbox!!!
no problem
ur name kyle?
Your welcome dumbass kid that can’t use regular controller
Clvtchz lmao
@@ffalookatash4807 actually go and think about your life fucktard
Microsoft, always thinking about their customers :)
We gotta work on that Game DVR tho.
One word.. Kinect.
Kane Williams if you got no arms the kenict wont read you
Yeah i know especially when they make you pay for online, so consumer friendly. Jesus Christ.
HolyDragonGuy not my point at all. What I meant was Microsoft doesn't give a s*** about their customers they made us buy the Kinect for the 360, released a couple of terrible games for it promised so much more, and completely gave up on it.
Then they did the exact same thing with the Xbox One didn't release any freaking games for except for a couple really shitty ones, and then threw it in the trash.
Shame on Microsoft
Good on Microsoft!
Can't wait 'til the mod community gets their hands on this
Oh they will, it can support windows 10 and everyone can use it, not only disable people, you can play on an other level
I wonder wat Microsoft would think of this
Counting down the seconds before somebody is speed running through Dark Souls Remastered with this.
We need to do feet only speedruns
Ahmad Naimee Not any cheaper though!
Microsoft delivered in their promise from last years E3 while revealing the XBOX ONE X. It's not related with this controller, but as Phil Spencer said " NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND".
Bhernz Desierto microsoft did some really good work.
SB3 you are not included exclusives, right?
Phil Spencer is terrible at delivering good exclusive games.
This is awesome. I wish this was around when I was younger. I'm missing my left hand & having this growing up in the 90's really would have made my gaming experience easier. Through all the trial & error, I managed to get gud though & now have no need for this. My friends & family are still amazed that I am able to play aswell as I do ( not bragging). I'm still very happy that others with disabilities like myself will have an easier time enjoying video games though. Thank you Microsoft. Big respect. Have fun guys!
I’m glad you were able to adjust so well to your circumstances and now many more can do the same!
yungfelix17 can you play dark souls ?
luiz philipe haha yeah man I can play anything. I beat dark souls 3, the expansion & I'm currently play nioh (great game btw)
yungfelix17 thats really cool i have no idea how you do it tho lol, btw nioh combat is really deep after you unlock the combos and magic
Huge Respet to you man!!! Keep being you!
Dislikes? Really? Smh
What is wrong with you people
Stryder the people that dislike are ps4 players
Maybe they see this as a bad video
+Vaas Montenegro ikr
Just people that wants games, this iniciative is very nice, but only after the requests of the main users have been fullfilled.
Kinect
190+ dislikes really?
I don't understand how can someone dislike this?
Kartikey Gautam Trolls or Salty Sony Ponies who are upset that Sony didn’t come up with this first.
Franklin Delano Donut poor Xtwat.
Vfopie jcod Salty that your beloved PS4 doesn’t have one yet?
Vfopie jcod chill dude.
I guess it there right lol
Not a fan of Microsoft. But God Dang it! Do I respect the shat out of this.. Well done MS
Shuny 11 ikr
As a pediatric registered nurse, good job. In fact excellent job. There are many kids I care for who struggle with ADLs. Gaming is a social activity, and this allows for interaction with peer groups and fosters self esteem. You did a really good thing with this. Please continue to support the technology.
Daryl Daryl gaming "fosters self esteem" is perhaps a naive view of gaming when taken beyond the basics
1lapmagic She's the registered nurse. Not you.
1lapmagic Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Love and belonging. This accounts for peer interactions, especially when trauma has created a barrier to that interaction. You would learn that in an introductory psych course at a community college. It’s not naive, you’re simply undereducated.
RN are not particularly educated people, I have an actual degree in a science regarding the human body. Thanks though.
1lapmagic You’re in a science field, and your rebuttal to a point I provided is I disagree because..... I’m smart, and you’re stupid? Well substantiated. It’s hard to dispute such deductive reasoning. Most well educated people, such as yourself, would provide a rebuttal backed by evidence based practice. Such as most of us uneducated people do in the sciences. Which I’m sure you learned when writing papers for your degree of the human body. I wasn’t aware that was a plan of study? I’m afraid we’re not
Going to see eye to eye on this. You’re welcome for the basics refresher.
Copied and pasted from another comment I made from the Xbox video, but still valid here.
All I've got to say is that this is badass. Letting those who can't really play games, play games in a way that helps them and allows them to experience what we experience. I may bash Xbox for shutting down so many exclusives that I would have liked and the UI, and prefer PS4 a bit more now, but this is just awesome. Good job, Xbox.
It Me why do ps4 users always have to give xbox so much shit
The Godfather I bought an Xbox One on Day One, went to the midnight launch. I didn't get a PS4 until August 2017 because they had so many exclusives that in my opinion were better, especially after Xbox shot itself in the foot. You act like I gave them "so much shit", I said 3 things, 2 thing of which I had a problem with, with the 3rd being how I've come to appreciate my PS4 a bit more. I don't even play PS4 close to as much as my Xbox still, but when I want a great single player experience, that's where I go.
I can now play Xbox with the Donkey Kong bongos. Thank you, Microsoft.
Diamondsheep19 LOL
I'm a Playstation user, but my hat goes off to Microsoft, bravo.
I just know that somebody is going to use this for competitive gaming...
Jake Long that's what I was thinking. It feels kinda unethical
It’s not meant for competitive.. it’s meant to allow those who are disabled to actually be able to properly play the games they want to. It’s not marketted for esports or comp at all.
is that really a priority compared to letting people with disabilities play video games? You gotta pick what's more important sometimes.
Clockwork Productions I know but I feel like they will take advantage of it
+Clockwork Productions
+Ali
I fully understand that its designed for the disabled but just look at how versatile that thing is. People are going to come up with uses for it beyond which it is designed. Nothing is stopping non-disabled gamers from using it.
Microsoft and Xbox deserves a *LOT* of respect for this!
Doesn't seem like anyone can say something against this.
Xbox is Microsoft
MS for greenlighting and sticking with the project for 3 years, Xbox for not fucking with the design.
TheDanisack97 why is it unfortunate? This is good
Nostalgic & Modern Xbox Gamer they can, but at the same time the deserve a lot of flack for charging that much for it.
Honestly, as much as I despise Microsoft's model of doing business, this is something that deserves a standing ovation.
That's one good side of a large corporation: When has a good idea, it has the resources to do it and to push others to improve.
iAmAnonymousTom Why the random assholery?
dont worry, he's just a racist who doesn't deserve attention from anyone
Please explain why you disagree with their model of doing business.
Xbox is actually very consumer friendly. Too bad it has no games.
“The backside is where all the magic happens”
“It’s thicker in the back”
Hmmmmm
we just finished a school project by making a controller for a 5-year-old disabled boy! glad to see Microsoft working on this!
Who the hell would thumbs down this?
Stephan Bruno ps4 fanboys like jaytech but hey that's something ms does tht sony doesn't
Sad internet trolls.
People don't need an excuse to be jerks.
Stupidity is strong out there.
Sony ponys
this is great product the son of my sister he got troubles with his left hand fingers he cant play joystick like ps4 or xb now with this i gonna give him a xbox 1 and this controller for his birthday!!!!!!!!
xays that's so sweet 😊
Awesome.
xays you sir are very nice if you’re looking for a game I’d recommend lego marvel superheroes 2 it’s a pretty easy game that will help them learn how to use it :) (or at least I think it will idk :|)
Happily surprised about the price, the design and easy of use. Microsoft have taken a positive leap forward here.
Do they charge these controllers? These controllers should be FREE for all those disabled individuals that own an Xbox system! These unfortunate people did not choose to be handicapped, Microsoft should give these out for free to them!
Catharsis Fog Money doesn't grow on trees. They are giving them an option so they can feel normal again. If your giving them our for free that isn't making them feel normal, that's making them feel special, and if everyone who is disabled is special it's not special anymore, it's just different again.
Not right out of the gate, no. But I bet before long once the demand increases you will see an accessibility edition that will come with the adaptive instead of the standard controller.
I honestly can't wait for disabled people to insult me over Xbox.
@Java Monsoon well the adaptive controler would obviously be a lot more effective than his fuckin feet wouldn't it? What's with the pessimism?
I'm not even disabled and I want this thing, it can open up so much possibility for custom controls.
Yeah, If there eventually is a way to connect it to my Switch I might even try it out.
Yes
@@LunaDragofelis If there's an adapter that lets you hook up an xbox one controller to your switch, it would work.
no it really cant, all it "opens up" is the ability to have your buttons sitting wherever in the room you want. though i suppose if dropping 100$ plus another 20$ per button is something youre willing to do just to remap keys on a console, more power to you.
This is Sweet and Sour . Sweet= MS has 3 years of development invested in this. Doesnt looks like they are going to profit from this.which means they did it ONLY for a unfairlly forgotten gaming community. Amazing job Phil Spencer,and everybody in general at Microsoft.
Sour= How the F#*k can people Dislike this vídeo?! What could people with dissabilities being able to have fun playing,have a negative impact on you? What can someone possibly have to lose with this? And the original video on MS Chanel has even more dislikes (139 atm). 😒
Carlos Staller yeah its crazy !! Mankind , internet.....
Yup, I was not expecting a 100$ price tag.
you can look at it that way.. or you can look at the number of likes... far more wonderful people out there, then assholes.. so don't let the assholes bring you down :)
I am hoping that they disliked it because they didnt like the editing on the video,music etc.If the controller is the reason for the dislikes they have serious problems
Sony guy through and through, but I have to give props to Microsoft for this, this is awesome.
Agreed. Even if you prefer one console over another, this is a good thing for the community as a whole. Hopefully this means Sony and Nintendo will come out with something similar so that disabled gamers will have even more options.
ShinyPants I hope Sony does especially. My left hand doesn’t work quite right but I can still use it for the most part. My problem comes in usually with fighting games such as MK because they are very d-pad heavy and I have a ton of trouble pulling off even basic combos
Freddie Brumovsky this is a big win for Microsoft as far as public opinion, so Sony would have to be stupid to not get it on it as well. It'll probably come around because of competition and business, rather than a genuine interest in helping people, let's be honest, but still, Sony should be inspired to do something.
You know, up until I saw it on the table and in use, I thought it was the size of the NES Classic controller lol
same
And they say xbox sucks :v
Both Kinects.
+Kane Williams playstation move & eye...
It dose
Two things: The first: This is a beautiful idea. I had watched a video on gamers with disabilities (From Raggtag actually) and I was looking at my controller and my keyboard and mouse the other day after watching it and I was so grateful I had two hands (no joke) and that nothing was wrong with my eyes. I became incredibly appreciative of how lucky I am that I can just waste my time with this hobby as easily as I can(even if I'm just not that good, lol). I think this is a wonderful idea and I appreciate the amount of thought and consideration that went into this (right on down to allowing people to plug in their own devices).
The second is that the girl in this is cute as heck. Her eyes are beautiful and her voice is pleasant.
GhengisJohn
But would you smash?
Finally my teammates in Rainbow six can have their own controller
CraftyCraftyMax your team is retarted?
The Shirt Ghost that's the joke
😂😂
LOOL I FEE BAD FOR LAUGHING AT THIS
CraftyCraftyMax I shouldn’t be laughing at this
Good job Microsoft 💚💙🎮
EXCELLENT! MS showing that ANYONE can have fun with videogames! Amazing MS, just amazing.
LOL WATCH OUT XBOX, PS IS GOING TO STEAL YOUR GUYS IDEAS 😂😂
WheresMyMoko ? Trust me they won’t
Lmao you mean the way MS has stolen everything it's done from Sony? The og Xbox was a direct rip off of the PS2. Then they've continued the trend of taking Sony's ideas all the way through this gen. Nice try tho bud
@@simix666 hater
@@simix666 Yeah, no. That's simply not true, and you and I could easily backtrack their behavior back then to de-confirm your point.
Charles Campuz lol you can try but you’ll fail. Like I said, the Og Xbox was a direct rip off of the ps2. The 360 followed suit by changing the controller layout to mimic the ps1-2 by removing the old black and white buttons and adding left and right bumpers (L1+L2) Sony then upped the anti with the ps3 by making it a combo blue ray player making the Sony system and multi-purpose entertainment system (games, music, DVD and blue ray) all while giving truly native backward compatibility for each previous generation. Sony then spent a large portion of time experimenting with different devices and peripherals (psp, ps vita, motion controls and the psEye) all of which Microsoft copies and dumbed down with the failure that is the Kinect.
Now for the ps4 and xb1. Microsoft took Sony’s established “all around entertainment “ idea and pushed it along with negative anti-consumer practices such as the whole DRM bullshit which negatively impacted the sales so much that they were forced to re-brand. They did so by ....you guessed it, taking another idea Sony had for 2 generations which is backward compatibility.
The only thing Microsoft has done on their own that is pro-consumer is that adaptive controller and I give them full credit, that’s a good idea.
Other than that, all they’ve done is pushed lacklustre hardware and subscription services to get your money instead of investing in actual games (until now which is literally the end of the console cycle)
Honestly, I wish Sony and Nintendo would do something like this too. I love the idea and I feel that the way it is being handled helps to include those with disabilities rather than putting some sort of mark of shame on them. If all three companies had something like this, I think gaming would just skyrocket. The possibilities are endless with this type of controller. Good job, Microsoft. Here's to you supporting this type of controller for many years to come.
Nintendo has been making this stuff since the 80's. They even made a controller that works by breathing into a tube for quadriplegics. Go google it.
Amazing work. Probably capable of doing some great custom setups even for people without disabilities
Cheers, Microsoft
This is incredible my biggest fear in the war was getting blown up to the point where I couldn't play video games anymore, I'd often joke about not caring what happened to me as long as my thumbs worked. I was single and not a father back then, just to put it in perspective but I still often wonder where I'd be today without my favorite past time. This is just awesome.
Laughing Guy fair enough. I can't take you seriously because you look 16 and haven't experienced anything in life besides high school and asking your mom to pick up mountain dew from walmart for you.
Do they charge these controllers? These controllers should be FREE for all those disabled individuals that own an Xbox system! These unfortunate people did not choose to be handicapped, Microsoft should give these out for free to them!
Ryan Korecky chill out my dude
Probably the most considerate thing Xbox has ever done.
VirtuaMe Not really, you should see the millions they've been donating in the past few years
Other than enabling cross play.
If it’s not compatible with my dk bongos I don’t wanna hear about it
WHATEVER DUDE !
Jago Six he was joking
Haha, best comment on,here
Malibu JoneZ
Can it play my rape music?
I'll only get it if you can use the resident evil chainsaw controller.
This is great, everyone deserves to have fun and the fact that disabled people can enjoy gaming is incredible
Who disliked? Just HOW COULD YOU?
Maybe PS nintendo or pc fans. I may prefer ps4 but this controller is cool. Kudos to MS for this.
FabLoveGA I’m a PC player and I still think this is great. At the end of the day we are all gamers no matter what platform you play on or how you play your games. All love in the gaming community bro❤️.
FabLoveGA pc players can use them i use a xbox one s controller on pc
Playshit fanbois
Supremej Thanks man. Appreciate it.
Genuinely warmed my heart. I'm officially proud to be an Xbox player.
This is beautiful
I'm not physically disabled but I went to school with people that were and have always volunteered to help them. This is the best accessory ever! The least disabled people can have is some way to enjoy life! I hope this can be affordable to people on disability benefits.
Thicker in the back.
All my life I have feared for losing one of my arms/hands as then I would be unable to even remotely use a controller well to play a fast paced FPS game....such a nightmare.....but now I guess it’s alright if somehow something happens.............
Joshua Gamez Just hope it never happens, arms are awesome.
Odly specific...
let's hope it just never happens anyway.
Wow, that's incredible. I hope this is as useful as this video shows it to be. And only $100? I thought going throughout this whole video it was going to be at least $199.99 if not $249.99. This thing couldn't have been cheap to make, produce, etc so good on you Microsoft!
I saw a Wii nunchuck where is Nintendo copyright strike
Nintendo: Can we copyright Xbox like right now they stole our nunchuck
*copystrike
Splatshock Gaming they won’t win that lawsuit lmao
They wouldn't sue, they are having a technical partnership in September.
Splatshock Gaming cross platform?
This is brilliant and so beautifully designed and thought of from the ground up. Its adaptive design is incredible. I feel ashamed for being a gamer for so long and never even given consideration that there are others out there that haven't been able to fully enjoy the many years of entertainment this industry has given me. I am so proud that Microsoft has taken the time to develop something ostensibly revolutionary to this industry. Thank you Microsoft.
I hope Sony and Nintendo do something like this too
Microsoft just pushes other companies to do the same, so yes that will be amazing
I hope so too
Reuben Holland Nintendo keeps marketing the switch as a console you can play with many different controllers (or at least that’s one thing) so it would work
Nintendo has in the past for the NES
Reuben Holland they really don't have too
While I'm a Playstation loyal but major respect for the Xbox team for doing this.
That dude playing Lucio, props to him. Lucio is probably one of the hardest heroes in overwatch to play on console and I couldn’t imagine playing him with a disability. Absolute respect for him.
Garrett Carpenter thanks! He's my main too!
We all know this is gonna end up on a Dark souls/Super Mario 64 speedrun challenge
As far as Exclusives go....
I wouldn't mind less console exclusives, if it meant that people with disabilities got to experience even more games themselves. They are gamers just like us that deserve to have the same experiences we have all had growing up.
Mr Dayum Fine thats why i stook with Microsoft because i just had a xbox for 5 months and they are trying to be pro consumer
Cravenmarigold 2 I wouldn’t call charging people £5 a month for online service pro consumer but the new controller is pretty good for consumers but when u think about even then it would be more beneficial to play on pc if u have disabilities due to support for any peripheral in the market
Thotimus Prime yeah i know but they are trying thts why i want a pc what i meant they been more consumer friendly lately
Thotimus Prime you get charged to play online with playstation too
Bob of Astora yeah but Microsoft is being touted as " pro consumer "... sony is giving their console value... same with Nintendo.. Microsoft promotes services over games... people have invested nearly $1000 into the xbox one and have yet to be given a return on their investment ... after yrs of waiting we get sea of thieves... a $60 free to play game...
This amost makes me cry... I'm Soo thankful for the use of my hands and motor skills and couldn't imagine being unable to participate in what I consider to be my life's defining purpose.
For once, can we put politics and fan boy rhetoric aside and be thankful for what we have and be super happy that millions of people who have been unable to enjoy the stuff we usually bitch about, can finally be part of gaming? I hope we all agree that this is a truly awesome moment in gaming.
M$ may be the evil empire. They may lack killer exclusive narrative titles. They screwed us all on the regular and elite controller quality... But this is pretty effin cool. Good on them and a win for gaming as a whole.
squidslurpee amen :p
squidslurpee for playing a video game god people are so overdramatic
Wow that device really is awesome. I’m happy that more people will have the access to gaming
This is very great! It would be perfect for those who used to be in to video games but were unable to play anymore from a condition and for those who couldn’t get into gaming from a disability, great work Microsoft! I would also love to see this on other consoles like Nintendo Switch, PS4 and any other future consoles
well done microsoft.
This is such a beautiful thing! I actually started crying when I saw this!! Great work, Microsoft! ❤️❤️❤️
This is so great for the disabled! Now, they can play Xbox games without a hassle!
Now everyone can play. Thank you xbox :)
watch and learn nintendo and stop making stupid cardboard boxes
The controller looks absolutely ridiculous!! LOL but it's great that microsoft is doing this for the disabled :D
The trailer for the controller that xbox uploaded kinda made me cry a lil and happy to give disabled people a 2nd chance to have fun.
Fuckin pioneers. Microsoft really impressed me here. Where you at Sony?
Sony with games...
Nolan Rickabaugh let Sony do their own thing damn that's like people telling Samsung to remove the head phone jack like apple it always has to be a competition with you folks everything Microsoft does you want Sony to copy
Just for clarification, I have a PS4 pro and only had an Xbox one for maybe a week and hated it. My allegiances lie with Sony. I was simply stating that Sony has never done anything similar to this and should shamelessly take this page out of Microsoft’s book. I want more people to experience the glory of Sony consoles, and this controller allows for just that.
Nolan Rickabaugh ok my bad
Why the hell are there dislikes?
Tan YiXun everyone hates disability people
I'm proud of y'all at Xbox for this.
That’s where all the apple headphone jacks went
Who are the people who have disliked this video? Identify yourselves.

Dude is better than me and I've been gaming for more than 20 years.
Sam Savage It still surprises me he's on a Pro level in the FGC by playing with his mouth. Like damn and I have trouble fight silvers in SF5 or KI
People are going to abuse this in competitive gaming
how?
@Java Monsoon How does the Elite controller help someone with out hands?
They can just ban it from competitive unless you have a disability
This is a great product but I just saw Engadget's ridiculous criticism of Amazon's supermarkets... so where is the part where Engadget accuses this controller of having racist undertones for being white? Where is the part where they accuse them of discriminating against poor people for not making it super cheap? Think I'm joking about Engadget being ridiculous? Check out the video their "enlightening" Amazon Go cashierless supermarket video that has almost 15x as many dislikes as likes.
Controllers controllers controllers where the fuck are the games? Edit:Your controllers wont sell to people who are disabled if you don't have any games.
That is fckin awesome
This is amazing
Thanks again for the opportunity! Great story
Michael Luckett you’re gonna be famous haha.
Controller for disabled ppl comes with a battery, but controllers for us normal ppl need AA batteries real fair Microsoft
Wow. I'm 300 pound, bald, bearded, 30 years old brutal metalhead dude and i'm allmost crying after watching this.
I'm so happy for this guys who gained an ability to play games.
Damn, Microsoft. Respect.
This time you did something really good. Something than truly worth. Gamers community really grateful for this.
I think I've made my choice in next gen. That kind of attitude i wanna support.
I never thought before, what would i do without a hand for example.
Cora second I thought yu said you were a meth head
You ever thought about trying to loose weight and be less brutal?
Microsoft are after gaining great karma with me.
I love this! I guess my only ? is those adaptive devices...is MS planning on bringing those along too? & are they planning on keeping it affordable?
Xbox helped me greatly when I first became ill & disabled ..unable to work anymore. It helped me feel like I was able to get out of my home and do things that I never would have been able to do otherwise...you know ...like ride around on a horse shooting people in RDR(SIDENOTE...OMG can't wait for RDR2) It truly was one of the biggest parts of breaking out of a depression I was suffering from due to the basic loss of my life as I knew it. Ty Xbox!
My husband surprised the heck out of me for Christmas with an Xbox X & then I discovered that it needed an adapter(for the Kinect) that not only wasn't included with the Xbox but is crazy expensive. I was disappointed with MS about this! The price on the X is crazy high(I love it but never would have gotten it till the price came down...seriously completely stunned when I opened the gift).
TWG7 the fact that it only needs 3.5 mm plug to work makes it easy for third parties to make cheap add-on’s
Kevin Castillo Thank you! That’s awesome! I’ve always wondered if I had an adapter if it would help me while playing since I have hand spams due to nerve damage. Though I’m getting loads of fun fail footage to use later. Lol
Everyone can enjoy games! Everybody are gamers!
Yeah ps4 fans saying Xbox console sucks but this is just out of this world this is nice
It looks like a piece of music equipment
Good job microsoft. But dont forget about games. Forget halo, gears, forza. More new exclusive games pls...
They are not exclusive games, they can be played on pc. But i agree, never been interested in forza and gears, and the new halo games have been mediocre.
Erich Ludendorff And PUBG? idk More games so v:
