Why Does Microsoft's Adaptive Controller Look Nothing Like Standard Controllers?

Microsoft's new gaming console controller does not look like the previous Xbox One controller. Heck, it does not even look like any other video game controllers out on the market. But there's a good explanation why Microsoft designed its Adaptive Controller the way it looks now. Microsoft's Adaptive Controller is targeted at a market comprising people with disabilities. People who can't use the regular Xbox One controller for reasons pertaining to their physical limitations will find Microsoft's new controller the perfect peripheral for their gaming sessions. The motivation that drove Microsoft and partner AbleGamers to come up with the Adaptive Controller has to do with the demand for a peripheral that offers the right user experience at a price point that's not going to break the bank.
