Custom Controllers

This is a project I started recently. I've seen people with stickers on their controllers and I figured that someone could have the same sticker as the next but not the same drawing.

I've yet to see how this would work with out-of-the-local situations but, for now, I'll be going to tournaments and offering to customize your controller there if enough people are interested.

Here's my website; which is being updated at the moment:



  • Samples: (Can be any type of controller)











  • Pricing: [EDIT: Lowered the prices because, as of late, they weren't the amount I was charging.]

  • Monochrome (One color, ex. Toon Link one) - $5
  • Color - $10
  • Entire controller - $20

  • Payment Method:

  • In Person:

This is for those of you who are local. We could meet up, you give me your controller and we meet up again when it's done. I could also work on it on-the-spot; in which case it'd be better to meet somewhere like Zero Ping (I'll be going there more often) or a place of your choice.​

  • Mail Order:

This one is a little more difficult because of the shipping and the time it takes to get the finished product back to you, but not impossible. For this specific method, you could pay over PayPal or enclose the money with your controller when shipping. I still haven't checked what the price for shipping would be but depending on that, I might have to charge a little more so I can atleast break even. (:​

  • Ordering:

Just PM me and we'll talk about it. I also have AIM: toonNiP if you prefer that (:


thanks guyssss.

I don't really know anymore...
Thats exactly what I was thinking. I might try something similar but I gotta make sure my drawings are right. Did you sketch on the controller before you painted?

Haha thanks!

You should do different controllers like wiimote and classic. but i like you GC one
That's a really good idea. I'll see if I do the ones at my house and post those too. And thank you.

Oh god this is genius. Looks real spiffy, too.
lol Thanks.

what do you use to draw on the controllers?
Acrylic paint, permanent markers, prisma colors & pencil.

It could be any controller, really lol. But thank you. One day I guess.

I can definitely do that, but not at the moment. I'll put up details for that soon~

I'm presuming you meant prisma markers? o.o
Permanent markers AND Prisma Markers (which are also called Prisma Colors) lol.

so this is nicole from sat/zp eh? ...
Oh man, yeah it's me haha. I wish I could go to ZP more but it's so far ):
If Seibrik hosts another get together this weekend there, I'll def go! (And maybe work on your controller (; It only takes me like half an hour - 45 min. (:

As for prices, I have to update the thread with them but I'll give you them now.

I charge:
  • $10 for small, monochrome images like my controller.
  • $12-15 for larger images in color.
  • $20-25 for whole controller pieces.

so this is this for show only? or will this stuff where off with the gamer's sweaty hands at a tourney?
It's not for show because it'll have a clear coating that'll keep it from doing just that. It's unrealistic to say, however, that it won't wear off eventually lol.

It would have to be the latter. I'm going to put up the details on mail-order controllers by tonight/early tomorrow.

You should showcase some pieces at Winterfest and start a mini-business of it. I would be interested but it all depends on the cost, etc.
