Microsoft recently announced a new customisable Xbox controller for gamers with physical disabilities.

Developed by ByoWave as part of the Designed for Xbox program, the wireless controller named ‘Proteus’ is a video game controller kit that features ‘snap and play’ parts which can be easily connected to build more than 100 million configurations and LED lighting variations.

The controller is designed for one-hand usage and features several small cubes that house buttons, a directional pad and analogue sticks. Microsoft says gamers can use the companion app to remap these buttons for a personalised experience. It will come with a USB-C charging cable, a Bluetooth dongle, two large one-button peripherals and left and right handles.

Proteus will be compatible with the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Windows 10 and Windows 11, but won’t work with other consoles like the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. It is currently available for pre-order on the ByoWave website for $255 price right now but will be available for purchase later this year for $299, which roughly translates to Rs 25,000.

 Hopefully, It helps many users who likes to play games but are left with no choice but to use the traditional one or have to spend thousands of dollars for getting them made a Customised controller by other Companies.!!
