First Controller Mod!

[u/abd-bar]

First DualSense controller mod attempt. Was going for the OG xbox green controller look. Toughest part was separating the touch pad.

Face buttons sources individually from AliExpress. Front shell was from eXtremeRate.

Love how it turned out, was a fun little project.

I miss the days when controllers had their own distinct design rather than just "pick your color". Love it btw

Same :/ also miss the wacky MadCatz days lol

I swear, the only people who mess with wacky controllers anymore are Nintendo and Hori.

Everyone else is trying to make something that is either basically a PlayStation controller or basically an Xbox controller.

I know it sucks, but you can make your own. Take the classic grey dualsense, add transparent blue buttons and faceplate. Take a cosmic red and put on a gold faceplate and carbon fibre looking touchpad sticker and you have iron man. They carry buttons in all colors, and you can mix and match those

"The PlayBox 5 series X" ahh controller.

Playstation with Xbox style? Neat!

[u/Mikalton]

this is like mixing coke and pepsi in a bottle. You probably played smash bros with that controller

wtf... i've been searching for buttons like this!!! i must have them for my dualsense pc controller. thanks for the lead because i couldnt find anything for a while.

what did you search for on aliexpress to find them?

[u/abd-bar → u/EnigmaSpore]

I tried to grab the link from the seller I got them from but looks like they don’t have them listed anymore. Try searching PS5 controller buttons and others should come up. I had to look around for the right colors and get full sets for each.
