Reply to comment by GreatAndPowerfulNixy in Microsoft announces Adaptive Accessories will be available October 25, making PCs usable for anyone by MicroSofty88

Yep, honestly the XBox adaptive controller is just fantastic. I personally don’t need it but I’m so happy that the door is wide open for people of all levels of ability are able to get involved with something I love

I remember them reaching out to Sony to see if they'd let people use the adaptive controller on the playstation but I think sony turned them down.

I always wondered about that but figured that it was just to persuade people to buy an Xbox although it works on PC too iirc

I want to say it works with Switch as well - Microsoft (at least in this arena) are pretty happy to play with others.

Yeah, pretty much all of the Xbox peripherals also work on PC.

I think there are USB sticks that let you use one type of controller on another console (e.g. use Xbox One with Switch) but I've never looked into it. But if that lets you use Xbox One with PS4 or PS5, then to hell with Sony.

Unfortunately the adaptive controller is wired, AFAIK.

Not a problem. Mayflash has one with a USB port on it. So long as it outputs xinput it’ll work

I swing by their display at PAX every year and they always have such cool shit. It's amazing so few people are talking about this, but not that surprising given Microsoft's reputation.
