Whether you’re an Xbox One or PS4 player, chances are you’re also a fan of Pokemon. In that case, CustomControllers UK has you covered with this sweet Pokemon custom designed Xbox One controller.

Whenever you’ve had a tough game on Call of Duty, or are close to tearing your hair out from being owned for the 50th time by a Dark Souls boss, you can always look down and be immediately cheered up by Pikachu’s incredibly happy face staring back at you. We’re not sure why Charmander didn’t make the cut, but this is still a must have for any Pokemon fan regardless.

Mass Effect

Mass Effect was one of the most popular series of last gen, and with N7 day having dropped a ton of new information for the upcoming Andromeda, what better time to show off your true love for the series than with this N7 custom Xbox One controller?

Adopting a carbon-style finish in the center and the classic red stripe bordered with white, this looks like something taken straight off the Normandy itself. It’s a minimalist design but one that really suits the Xbox One controller. This was available courtesy of ControllerChaos, so give ’em some love if you like it.

Mahogany

Sometimes the high-tech stylings and vibrant colors just aren’t to your liking and so something a little more natural is in order. In which case, you’ll probably find this Mahogany-style custom Xbox One controller to be just what you’re looking for.

With a woodgrain finish, dark brown buttons that look like nothing more than impurities in the wood, this is the controller for those looking for a classier or more natural style to their gaming accessories. This one comes courtesy yet again of CustomControllers UK. And for everyone not in the UK, you’ll be pleased to know they do worldwide shipping, too.

Destiny

This is a one of a kind controller custom made by an avid Destiny fan. With a sci-fi galaxy theme going on and purple pink buttons and analog sticks, this is certain to stand out in a lineup of controllers. It’s even got the Destiny logo in the center.

To top it off, that’s not a lighting issue on the photo, the analog stick slots actually light up with a pink glow, perfect for those late night raid sessions. Though you won’t be able to buy one of these yourself, you can show your appreciation and send kind words to Gizmo SunModz here.

D.Va

For any Overwatch fans out there, this D.Va designed Xbox One controller is perfect for showing your love for the popular team-based shooter. It’s a simple but effective design, taking the key features of her in-game design and finishing the whole thing off with nice shiny buttons and d-pad.

If you’re interested in grabbing one, you’ll need to head to XLTeam over on Etsy. It may have quite the price tag on it, but it’s a great way to pay homage to the former pro gamer herself.

Assassin’s Creed

There’s nothing that quite screams assassin like blood-splattered dark wood. Especially when we’re talking about the old-school assassins synonymous with the Assassin’s Creed series. Put together by Nebula Gaming, this Assassin’s Creed controller looks just as stylish and badass as you’d imagine the equipment of a real assassin to be.

Embossed with the gold Assassin’s Creed logo on the left handle, and with the gold analog sticks and buttons, the design gives the whole controller a very classy look. Even if it is splattered in blood.

X-Wing

For those wanting to show their love for Star Wars in a more subtle way, this Resistance X-Wing designed Xbox One controller might be for you. ControllerChaos has done a great job with giving the controller a battered and blemished look, just as you’d expect a Resistance X-Wing’s paintwork to be after an intense aerial dogfight against the Empire.

The Resistance logo sits proud on the right handle of the controller, meaning it’ll be covered by your hand for the most part. Don’t worry though, any Star Wars fan who visits will instantly recognize this controller as it sits proudly next to your system.

Fallout 4

As one of 2015’s huge success stories, a ton of Fallout 4 merchandise was released to celebrate its launch on PS4, Xbox One and PC, including some epic official Fallout 4 controllers. However, when it comes to the third-party attempts at Fallout 4 Xbox One controllers, we think CustomControllerzz is onto a winner.

Donning the Tommy Gun Vault Boy on one handle and the Fallout 4 logo on the other, the design resembles something that has seen better days… probably prior to a nuclear explosion. The rust effect plaguing the controller’s face, and the bullet-looking buttons are our personal favorite touches. Oh, and there’s also a nod to Vault 111 where the Home button belongs, too.

Batman

Not only is Batman a prominent figure in comic books and movies, he’s also become quite the cover figure for video games too. With the Arkham series releases from Rocksteady offerings fans hours of action-packed escapades with the caped crusader and Telltale telling an entirely different story in its own episodic series, there’s a bit of something for every Batfan out there. Therefore, you’ll want to ensure you’ve got the right equipment for the job too.

Acidic Gaming has designed this Batman themed custom Xbox One controller. Repping the classic Batman logo in the middle, the controller is otherwise a little plain. However, it’s the use of this worn and scratched look that makes it stand out and feel as if it’s been used once or twice as a Batarang instead (we don’t condone you trying this). If you’re looking for a simple but effective custom Batman Xbox One controller, you’ll want to check this one out.

Halo MCC-117

It wouldn’t be a list of amazing Xbox One controllers without a Halo entry creeping in here somewhere. While the Chief’s return to action on the Xbox One was celebrated by two official controllers in the form of the Spartan Locke and Master Chief designs, this one from ControllerChaos offers a design resembling something more traditional from the series.

With the UNSC logo splattered on the right handle and a Spartan helmet on the left in a classic mustard yellow, the rest of the controller gets a Spartan camo green finish. It’s also worth noting that the controller can be equipped with different triggers, bumpers on the rear, rapid fire chips, and a ton more of modding and customization options to make it your go to Xbox One controller.
