So goodbye custom-built accessibility controllers? Little Timmy, who was born with no arms and loves video games but has to play with his feet on a custom controller, is going to be told "Git good stumpy"?

Microsoft does make a special controller for people with disabilities. Still sucks for people with custom setups. The cheating in fps games is out of control though

The array of different disabilities is so vast - a controller which works for one player may not work for another.

The Xbox Adaptive Controller is a device that lets you build your own custom controller that fits your specific needs. It's actually really neat
