The gaming giant, Xbox(owned by Microsoft), has created an adaptive controller to allow those with disabilities to play games just like anyone else. However, is this actually helpful, or just a ploy to gain more money? It comes very bare-bones with seemingly not enough buttons. It only has 6 buttons when the Xbox needs at least 10. Instead, it has a lot of HDMI ports for external switches/buttons. This means that you have to buy or make other buttons or switches. Unless, you buy the “Xbox Adaptive Starter Kit.” In conclusion, the Adaptive Controller is just a ploy for money. Out of 10, I gave the Adaptive Controller a 5. It is helpful once you set it up, it is very expensive to set up. Sadly, this is currently the only option for the Xbox.
