This is the best summary I could come up with:
Created by peripheral company ByoWave as part of the Designed for Xbox program, the wireless controller consists of small cubes with interchangeable faceplates that include controller buttons, a directional pad, and analog sticks.
The “snap and play” parts connect together so gamers can build more than 100 configurations and LED lighting variations.
ByoWave says it won’t support PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch, though it’s open to partnering with these platforms.
The controller is expected to ship this fall, though it’s available to preorder via ByoWave’s website at a discounted price of $255 right now.
The kit will include a USB-C charging cable and a Bluetooth dongle, as well as other parts like left and right handles to create a traditional gamepad and two large one-button peripherals.
The firmware update will be available to the public in the next few months but will roll out over the next couple of weeks to Xbox Insiders.
