Brook Wingman XB2

The Brook Wingman XB2 is a controller adapter released by Brook Gaming in 2022.^[1] It allows modern wired and wireless controllers to be used on Xbox 360, original Xbox, and Windows PC.^[2] It is relevant for accessibility because it enables adaptive controllers to work on legacy Xbox consoles that do not natively support them.
