Xbox certainly knows how to make an array of wild and wonderful controllers with dazzling colors and designs. However, if their current line-up isn’t enough for you, there’s always the Design Lab to create your own. But at a base price of $69.99 to customize a standard Xbox Series S|X controller, is there a more wallet-friendly solution?
Well, yes, there is. Controller modding is a thing, and it’s not as difficult as you may think. I set out on a quest for an Atomic Purple controller, a nostalgic throwback to my 90s childhood. In my search, I came across eXtremeRate’s selection of transparent goodies on Amazon. For only $22, I could have the controller of my dreams, but there was a catch. I’d need to fit it myself. Could I do it? For the potential cost of a replacement controller, I figured I’d give it a go.
