People are always looking for a way to stand out among their peers, and the members of the gaming commu𓆉nity are no exception. Console players' options for making their environment their🌱 own is admittedly limited in comparison to PC players, since for the most part, they're stuck with the officially offered themes and avatars. PC gamers can build some pretty sweet environments since a keyboard and mouse setup can be customized in numerous different ways, but some people genuinely just prefer console gaming and the charm of using a controller.

The smooth, matte set up of an Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, or PlayStation 4ꦓ controller is undeniably ergonomic. They're set up to be held for long periods of time and to allow the pl🍃ayer to develop the skills to play games using muscle memory. Even the Nintendo Switch's Joy-Cons are versatile and easy to use, especially since they can be snapped into a holder that makes them into a traditional controller.

However, sometimes these devices are just a little too generic, and that's where custom controllers come into play. Gamers can create their own custom controllers, commission one-of-a-kind ones, or purchase existing designs from sellers all over the world. Some of them a🔜re awesome and envy-inducing, while others make us appreciate the simplicity of the basic controller that every console comes with.

We have scoured the internet and come back with a huge collection of custom controllers for all different consoles. Most of them are pretty cringe-worthy - if only because people go so far with their loveജ for things and end up sacrificing functionality or any semblance of taste in order to cram as many things as possible onto their controller - but there are a few gems that we would love to have for ourselves!

30 🎉 Embarrassing: Pikachu Certainly Looks A Little.🧸.. Different

Someone obviously put a lot of love into making this Pokémon-themed controller for the GꦏameCube. Unfortunately, Ash Ketchum's sidekick and fan-favorite, Pikachu, is only recognizable when the controller is upside down - and even then it just doesn't look quite right. Maybe it's the fact that only one of the eye-buttons is an actual button and the other is drawn on and halfway raised by the joystick... Or maybe it's the fact that the mouth is off-center from the nose? We're not sure, but even so, this is definitely one of the most 🦄creative (and cringe-worthy) custom controllers we've ever seen.

29 Embarrassing: Ever Wanted To Constantly Feel Like You'𒅌re Being Watched? 💧

This intricately detailed controller was created by  and objectively speaking, we have to admit that the execution of the design is awesome. It's too bad that the end result is horrifying! Imagine how strange it would feel to hold this eye-sore of a controller in all of its lu꧂mpy glory... Eugh. Playing horror survival games can already make you feel like you're being watched without adding actuaಞl eyes into the mix - plus, which ones are you supposed to look into? All of them? That's just not possible.

28 Awesome: Gaming Will Be Easier When You've Got The Avengers To Back You Up 🦂

Imgur user  created this hand-painted PlayStation 4 controller as a birthday gift for his son. The cobalt blue paint job that serves as a background is so matte that it looks like it came that way. On the left, it features The Cap, and on the right, it features Iron Man. The touchpad has Spider-Man firing a web over to the d-pad. All of them are posed in front of a cool cityscape. The characters are done in a unique style while still maintaining their original Avengers glory. Someone's got a pretty awesome dad!

27 Embarrassing: Honestly, No Words Needed For This Toothy Cont♎roller 🌱

The increasingly infamous  strikes again with this controller. We've found that the execution is pretty much perfect, yet again. The joysticks have been replaced with eyeballs that are two different colors, and there's a third eyeball, in yet another color, embedded into the left side of the controller. The right side has a design that's either an intestine or a brain, although we're not entirely sure which. That's all pretty weird, but it's not too weird, r𒈔ight? Sure. But what about the set of teeth that protrude from the botto🌜m of the controller? Those are a deal-breaker.

26 Embarrassing: Controജller? What Controller?

We know that you can't actually see the controller above because it's camouflaged, so you'll just have to take our word for it. Unless the plan is to drag a gaming console out into the middle of the woods to pass some time in between wildlife-sightings on a hunting trip, we just don't see the need to have a camo controller. This isn't one of the worst custom controllers we've ever seen, but c♚amouflage everything a trend that needed to be stopped before it even started.

25 Awesom💮e: Probably The Contr🐻oller Tony Stark Would Play With!

Ever thought about the kind of accessories Tony Stark would use for his console of choice? Or what his console of choice would be? If not, we bet you are now. The obvious (and absolutely non-negotiable) answer is that he would prefer the PlayStation 4, and this Ironman-themed controller from  on Etsy is exactly what he would play with. The shiny, metallic red and gold base is subtle in a good way, with gold acc⛦ents, glowing white joysticks, and a cool icon of Ironman's face.

24 🔯 Embarrassing: Jigglypuff, Are You Okay?

This Pokémon-themed monstrosity was inspired by the artwork of . The worst part has to be the eye-buttons because the placement is nightmare-inducing, and Jigglypuff's somewhat realistic eyes make them look creepy. The ears are surprisingly well done though, and the letter-change on the X/Y buttons is clever. For what it's worth, this controller was intentionally made awful by  and , which should probably bump it up to awesome since they nailed exact🍰ly what they were going for... But the eye placement is just too unsettling!

23 ꦬ Embarrassing: We Get I💧t, Call Of Duty Is Awesome

The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Call of Duty franchise has been around for years, and it's one of the most popular ones of all time, which obviously means that it's built up a pretty passionate fandom. Sometimes the things the fans create are pretty cool, but other times, they're just a little bit much. This PS4 controller from  falls into the latter category. The distressed paint with rusty-looking accents ♛seems like it's the result of a badly treated contr💧oller, rather than having been done intentionally as part of a themed aesthetic.

22 Awesome: If The RCPD Needed An Official Controll🐎er, Itജ Would Be This One!

The Resident Evil subreddit was treated to user about a year ago. It's the perfect tribute to the first few games in the series, with a STARS theme instead of the somewhat overused Umbrella one. The blood splatter is as tastefully done as a blood splatter can be, and goes perfectly with the touchpad, which took inspiration from the health display system in early games. The blue background seems to be inspired by the uniform worn by Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil 2. Speaking of that, this controller would be perfect to play the upcoming 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Resident Evil 2 remake and its DLC with.

21 Embarrassing: Somethiꦆng About This Alien Controller Is J💮ust Unsettling

This creative controller from  is obviously inspired by the Alien film franchise. The matte black base of the controller has lots of interesting details, including some sweet-looking green claw marks, but it falls apart after that. The actual concept of making a controller into an alien model is pretty neat, but something about the execution just seems clunky and cluttered. All of the strange but minor flaws might have been forgivable, if not for the fact that the touchpad is obscured (and probably rendered non-fun🌜ctional) by the alien's head.
