The Xbox Adaptive Controller is a product intended for a limited audience. At $99 a unit, it’s not cheap, but according to the creators, it isn’t meant to make money for Microsoft…
$99 is actually really cheap, compared to previous devices you had to get for the same functionality that could cost upwards of $300 due to basically being made-to-order by small outfits. Combined with the R&D costs, and the comparative market for it relative to standard controllers, and $99 is a pretty good price.
Just having an “official” standard hub supported by one of the major consoles, that peripheral makers can tailor their products towards, is going to make such a fantastic difference for the people who rely on them.
Thanks. :) I’ll try to remember to post something here if I come up with anything further worth sharing. I can report that the controller works, but my daughter is too focused on spinning the rollers to bother with watching the ceiling and putting together any kind of cause and effect logic. That was always the biggest question about the project. For now, I’m back to the drawing board, but it’s so cool that I have a board to draw on at all.
