Summary

The Proteus Controller is a group of palm-sized cubes that can be connected to each other in a wide variety of configurations. The modular gamepad was created by nascent peripheral company Byowave as part of the Designed by Xbox program. It's available for pre-order now at a discounted price of $255.

Each port on the Adaptive Controller will now support up to 12 buttons, a second stick and a hat switch. The update will hit Xbox Insiders first over the next few weeks and it'll go public in the coming months. It costs just $100 and allows users to plug in their own third-party peripherals.

Microsoft does a lot of things wrong but man they've been killing it with these accessible controllers. I really love seeing them and how affordable they've made them.

I like it, it seems way more versatile than the flat one

Modularity in all cases is such a good idea. Let people decide what they need instead of making one version that everyone should be stuck with
