Every couple of years I like to stop by The Controller Shop and design work of gamepad art. During my most recent visit I found myself overwhelmed by available options, so I turned design duties over to my son, Seamus. He’s really into red right now.
The custom controller masters over at The Controller Shop have built a photo-realistic lab for their website, where customers can create and save their dream creations. As you can see, this is not always the best idea.

The controller customization experts at The Controller Shop asked if we wanted to review one of their magical creations. I said sure. They asked what sort of controller they should send. I left it up to them. Wise decision.
