If you didn\u2019t already know, the Xbox Adaptive Controller (XAC) developed in partnership with the Xbox Accessibility team, some of us at The AbleGamers Charity, some of our favorite gamers, and other organizations. It\u2019s designed to get your needs connected and playable, with two programmable buttons, three custom profiles, nineteen 3.5mm input jacks, and two USB ports to support whatever your preferred inputs are for your games.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s not our first controller. It\u2019s not even our first mass production controller. The Adroit by Evil Controllers has provided incredible customization options for years and was a great frame of reference the Xbox Accessibility Team to get their colleagues excited about making hardware. <\/span><\/p>\n Since its release, the XAC has been breaking all kinds of barriers, from the relatively low $100 USD price to availability at Microsoft Store locations. Oh, and a freaking SUPER BOWL commercial! We are so incredibly excited to get in front of the big stage and show what we can do when we\u2019re all working together so everyone can game.<\/span><\/p>\n The commercial went on to be the talk of the town, being a favorite for Super Bowl commercial fans. It went on to be highlighted by publications like <\/span>Business Insider<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>CNET<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Geek.com<\/span><\/a>, where, incidentally, you can check out <\/span>an interview with our own Steven Spohn<\/span><\/a> on the controller\u2019s development.<\/span><\/p>\n The response across news commentary and social media has been incredible. With shoutouts by people like <\/span>Geoff Keighley <\/span><\/a>and <\/span>Cher<\/span><\/a> for the commercial, the attention to our cause has been growing. Most importantly, though, it\u2019s been your support, your attention, and your interest that\u2019s been helping us drive this message along to make these incredible moments a reality.<\/span><\/p>\n The title and takeaway message for the commercial really brings it home: When everybody plays, we all win.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
