In terms of suitable accessories, Microsoft is good against rivals like the PlayStation and Nintendo, especially with its adaptive controller for the Xbox video game console. The company went ahead and signed on by unveiling a new range of products, including the mouse, designed for the different needs of people with disabilities.
We learned a lot in the process of developing the Xbox Adaptive Controller, and our ambition is to further expand those lessons, applying them to all aspects of an individual’s life.said Microsoft in a blog post.
The giant is therefore launching three new accessories, namely a mouse, buttons and an adaptive hub, which everyone describes as systems highly adaptable and easy to use.
The rat has a tail allowing the wrist to rest. It can also add a thumb rest (interchangeable for left or right hand) making it look like a traditional mouse. It is also designed to facilitate the addition of 3D printed accessories.
Microsoft has also announced its easy-to-press buttons, which, once programmed, can perform complex keyboard shortcuts. 3D printed accessories are also easy to add.
The latest device presented by Microsoft, the Hub, is in the form of a rectangular block used as a base consisting of several ports and buttons. Among them, there are three USB-C sockets, and a Bluetooth button that is easily pressed and identified by pressing. It can serve as a gateway between buttons, laptop and phone, for example.
The goal is to enable people who have difficulty using a traditional mouse and keyboard to create their perfect setup, increase their productivity and use their favorite applications more efficientlymentioned the company.
Microsoft won’t stop there: the company also announced the opening of a new inclusive technology lab, to continue the work of inclusivity.
