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.
