Taking advantage of the fact that the Super Bowl is just around the corner, Microsoft has prepared an emotional video that will be shown during the celebration of the most popular sporting event in the United States. It tells the experiences of children with limited physical abilities who, thanks to the Adaptive Controller, can play at the same level of their rivals.
The launch of this peculiar controller was excellent news for those users who have certain physical limitations when it comes to taking control of a gamepad. Thanks to this accessory, users can connect an infinity of external buttons, switches and interfaces designed for the user in order to take control of the game in a completely personalized way.
The idea was received with great enthusiasm in associations such as the Cerebral Palsy Foundation, and the benefits of the product were soon to bear fruit, as Microsoft itself now reflects in this beautiful video with some of the experiences that were felt by these life challenged gamers. In it we can see the story of some children who have managed to improve their experience in games thanks to a control much more adapted to their needs.
According to the makers, the conventional joysticks pose many problems when controlling the game. Thanks to the possibilities of these new accessories, the games become what they were intended to be, fun, instead of a difficult struggle where the player spends a greater time of their game playing just trying to adapt to the controller.

And the accessory has 19 ports, 3.5 mm in which to connect switches and mechanisms of all kinds, two USB 2.0 ports for external inputs and a headphone socket for audio. The two circular surfaces will act as analog touchpads, while the connection with Xbox One can be done through Bluetooth (by cable if we use a PC with Windows 10, Windows 8 or Windows 7). The final message from the announcement, When everybody plays, we all win.
