ByoWave’s Modular Proteus Controller Can Be Assembled Into 100 Different Configurations
The modular controller allows gamers with disabilities to design the best controller for their needs.
Xbox rolled out its Adaptive Controller in 2018 for gamers who have limited mobility. The device can sit flat on a table, rather than needing to be held. When it comes to users’ disabilities and developing new technology to accommodate them, however, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.
ByoWave has now partnered with the “Designed for Xbox” team to create a new controller that can be configured to a variety of builds depending on its user’s needs. The Proteus Controller comes as a kit of “snap and play” parts, from which users can build the best way for them to play.
Offering over 100 different variations, the controller can sit on a table or be made into a handheld. It can also be split into two different controllers entirely, rather than one single device. The kit comes with two Power Cubes – each containing a battery – along with Analog Cubes that contain the left and right analog sticks, D-pads and all the buttons necessary.
The Proteus Controller is compatible with the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows 10 and 11. Priced at a discounted $255 USD during a limited window, ByoWave is taking pre-orders for the controller with units expected to ship this fall.
