Unrealistic as it probably is, it'd be wild if they let you set your own RGB values.

My NBA OKC Thunder controller I ordered

mf.luder · Jun 20, 2021

As someone who is pretty entrenched in the PS world and don't play enough to have both systems, I really, really dislike that Sony doesn't have something like this available for DualSense/Shocks. It's such a great idea AND it's literally free money for someone to get a truly custom controller. I'm jelly.

So many great controllers in this thread. Does anyone have a good display solution? Right now my controllers lay in the open spots in my shelves, but I'd love to have an affordable solution for them to sit up a bit more.

Jimnymebob · Jun 20, 2021

Yes or yes?
I don't need to order one soon, but I'm glad it's back, and I love the coloured face buttons.

That is a beautiful design!

Lowrys · Jun 20, 2021

I must be in the minority here because I really dislike colored face buttons.

But options are good!

maeh2k · Jun 20, 2021

So many options with just a couple of colors – hard to choose.

Here's a somewhat subdued one I like:

lunanto · Jun 20, 2021

I ve always loved this color combination.

If I could go all out, get mountain dew themed with engraving the flavor. Like original, code red, pitch black, baja, live wire etc.

I would've engraved "Do the Dew"

nihilence · Jun 20, 2021

Also wish the view, menu and share buttons had more color options.

TaterTots · Jun 20, 2021

I want to make a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles themed controller, but I'm failing lol...I'm overthinking.

This was my attempt

I tried with red bumpers, but it looked a bit too McDonalds

Amazon has some Xbox controller stands that are fairly cheap that have worked well for my Series X controller. I got a black one but I know they have some other colors.

shoal · Jun 20, 2021

Going for a Windows XP look here.

Any good Mass Effect inspired ones out there? N7 armor is probably doable.

Ehhh that looks good. I'm gonna steal it lol. I was trying with red and blue as well and it just wasn't working.

Vault Boy · Jun 20, 2021

How much for one of each design posted in this thread?

The Hardened Soldier. ~~She must not be forgotten~~.

I love the way this looks so I ordered it. Good job.

Tweaked mine before ordering. Think this looks a lot better:

I kinda have that one. I made an Eva 01 themed controller a few years ago on Design Lab. Even had it engraved. But the quality is shit, so I'm going to retire it and make a Unit 02 themed one.

Shame you can't add unicode to the engraving area, A swirl would finish it nicely.

Beat me to it, but also looks like a 360 controller as I imagined lol

What was your final design? Love the look of this.

This is my controller :)
If you need any help recreating this, let me know in this thread or via PM.

Something really clean about this look

Reminds me of Mass Effect 👍

Every time I come in here there are about three new designs that I could quote and say "this is amazing!"

For real. I want to order one but don't know where to start.

Pyro · Jun 21, 2021

Been wanting a second controller just for my PC and man it's so much fun messing around with this thing. It'll take a while to get here (whenever I can even order one too) but it's worth it considering how much you can customize it and it's only $20 more.

I used all Rewards Points. Had too many anyways. Im excited. Ill probably keep it even if it breaks down... which it will.

Anyone know if MS repairs these things and if kts worth it?

Gradon · Jun 21, 2021

made some block colour hoodie inspired designs.

Pink Base

Blue Base

Yellow Base

I want one.

DVG · Jun 21, 2021

Can someone help me make one with Palestine colours? I've been trying and struggling to get one I'm satisfied with. Just don't want a black body because it would feel too similar with the current controller

Yeah those pastel combos are incredible.

abellwillring · Jun 21, 2021

Didn't have an Xbox last gen so I never paid too much attention to this before. Do they ever put this thing on sale? I've already bought a 2nd controller so I don't anticipate I'll ever have a need to get another (or not for years), but at lower than $70 I'd at least consider it.

Quick design I put together.. something like this looks pretty nice.

Pyro · Jun 21, 2021

Just read through the thread and am blown away by what everyone has created. Really tempted to go with Pikachu but I think I'll also do a Neon Genesis Evangelion "EVA UNIT-01" (that's engraved but it's not showing for some reason) that's a cross between what others have created:

The pink base is almost exactly the one I ordered at the beginning of 2020! The dpad is green is the only difference. I love the controller. I'm trying to make a new one and love the 360 throwback but it feels so bland in comparison I feel like I have to top the previous

Firefly · Jun 21, 2021

Thanks to this thread I'll never end up settling on a theme I want. All such great inspirations.

Thank you!! If you want to, I would love to see a pic of it when you finally get it. I'm thinking about ordering it myself when I'm able to.
