I’m not into games at all, but I love the idea of lots of differently shaped controllers for people with who can’t or don’t wish to use ‘traditional’ ones.

Super cool.

Cool controller for more gamers but how bout we get games to actually play Phil Spencer?

Do they know that most people who are disabled don't have that kinda money?

I have carpal tunnel, this would make gaming more comfortable so I can play more of the games I actually want to.

It’s not that I am incapable, it’s just nice to be able to do without pain. Same with work, I make good money, just causes pain.

Everything hurts, everything will continue to hurt and hurt worse... hope you get to game in comfort at some point and boy do I love getting old!

I’ve got the surgery referral and a steroid shot here shortly. The shot gave me a good month of what ever I wanted before I needed to start narrowing options down last time.

I can do stuff like turn based games with minor discomfort, painkillers aren’t the best option, but they help to get some fun once in a while though.

They're a company so they're not gonna sell it for a loss. And this is a pretty niche device compared to the normal xbox controller that actually has economies of scale, and is a fairly simple design.

Honestly I expected this to cost a lot more considering what it can do.
