A Simple DIY Game Controller For People With Physical Challenges 36
capedgirardeau writes "Caleb Kraft of the well-known Hack-A-Day site noticed that game controllers and alternate keyboards for people with physical challenges were very expensive. Simple switches for buttons that could be made for a few dollars were running $60 or $70 apiece. Working with a young man he knew who loves gaming and has muscular dystrophy, Caleb created a do-it-yourself controller for people with physical challenges using a 3-D printer, a super-cheap micro-controller board and some simple keyboard emulation software. He is freely releasing all the 3-D printer files and tutorials to make his and other controllers on a new site, The Controller Project. He also encourages people to check out The AbleGamers Foundation"

Not necessarily. They might have been born that way.
For example, did your parents drop you on your head? Or were you born an asshole?

and to my knowledge, Microsoft never licensed a third-party wireless controller for the Xbox 360.
Then your knowledge is quite limited. 3rd party 360 controllers have been around for years. They even list 3rd party controllers on the Xbox site.

But, hey, it was easier to bash Microsoft than actually verify your claims, right?
