While we're here, the xbox adaptive controller is pretty cool even if you don't have any kind of issue. It can be customised with third party button pads and arcade sticks which you plug into the adaptive controller. Great for playing basic games. I read that it's almost like a keyboard in a sense. It's quite big and you can add a lot of buttons.
One of the best net public good products Microsoft ever released. I suspect it was personal project for someone at MS who had some pull to approve it.
I think the concept fits Microsoft mission - allowing people to connect with technology in different ways. That's the name of the game. People whine about ai, but voice commands and ai assistants will be good for some people. No more screwing around with 10 point fonts on a 7 inch screen.
Apple products integrate with a lot of healthcare stuff, so it only makes sense if microsoft makes accessible products.
