bundled with DLC code a year of Rainbow Six Siege premium and early access to the new Wheel Team Six operator.
 
I really like them offering the files for 3D printing. Allows for even more customization and potentially lower cost than buying the toppers at retail.
 
Say what you will about Microsoft and their consoles, but their inclusivity for disabled gamers with their adaptive controllers is awesome. Every story I hear of people with disabilities that thought they could never play a video game, and them finding the Xbox adaptive controller, they always make me smile.
 
This is one of the areas that I feel shows us why we need a player like Microsoft in the market. I don't think you'd ever see Sony make these kind of things, at least not without someone else doing it first. I've hated on a lot of things MS has done the last 2 generations, but this one area is a GIANT kudos to them.

I'm really glad this exists. Every platform holder should do this and Nintendo is the worst when it comes to even allowing you to remap buttons in their games

This is great actually because those controllers gop beyond consoles. 8bitdo is especially cool, but their contorollers are pure quality (rocking my 8bitdo ultimate for a yer now).

I hate (not really) that this was my 1st thought when i saw the thumbsticks.

Anyway great iniciative from MS, they have been doing these kind of controllers for a while and even Sony did one for PS5 not too long ago. So its great that they making things easier for more ppl to be able to enjoy games.

I still remember seeing Blolylegs playing and competing at a professional level in Street Fighter tournaments, just using a normal X360 controller and his mouth.
