    Hey guys, with some help and permission from Insane and Kun0shi, there is now a controller for all you hubbers, exclusively from CreateAController!

    The main colors of the controller are black and gray with the option to change the secondary color to 5 different colors:

    Click for a full preview of what your controller may* look like

    Red
    Blue
    White
    Yellow
    Silver (No preview, sorry! However the silver is the same used on this and I believe this controller.)

    *The customer has the option to change the colors of the LED lights, analog sticks, and also has the option to have painted or standard ABYX buttons. Please also note that the painted buttons are textured and opaque, instead of the standard glossy feel.

    With a base price of $84.99 for a custom painted back, bottom, and faceplate, order your custom controller today!

    Also, if you want your controller to look just like the previews, be sure to change the LED lights and analog sticks to match your secondary color, and get the colored buttons. For a better result, if you choose to have your name on it, try to keep it short. The more text, the smaller it will be!

    But wait, there's more! Here is a $5 discount just for you guys!
    Coupon Code - CACFH001

    Please post all questions and comments below.

    Permission was given by Insane54.

    EDIT: Put up bigger previews.And if you would like something slightly different from the original design, such as move this a little to the left, or have the text in a custom place, just ask me, and I'll try to get something arranged.

    Also if you guys really want, we were considering having a clear case, and painting on that, and lighting up the controller with LEDs. So instead of just a yellow for example, those parts (the secondary color) will be clear, and when the controller is turned on, will light up any color. If anyone really wants this, just say so! I'm considering making another design, just for a little bit of variety, again if anyone has an idea that they would like to see on a controller, post it here.

    Please also note that the actual painted controller and this preview will not be EXACTLY the same. The design is the same, but because the controller template is nowhere near the same as a real template, some things may have to be moved slightly. No worries though, this isn't a big deal, just a heads up, and you will be satisfied with the real thing!

    EDIT2: Cosmic Rick's brand new controller! (If you don't mind me posting this)

    Why'd you need Insanes permission :S

    Also, I'd say the blue is closer to this, but still a bit darker. We need a better color pallet listing.

    It's technically advertising, even though it's for us and it's by an official sponsor. I wanted to make sure he wouldn't get infracted accidentally for advertising.

    Personally I wouldn't want a lighter color on my controller. I think the more "solid" the colors, the better, when we're working with paint on a controller.

    Can't say I'm not tempted to buy one; I don't have the money yet, but soon I will, and I'm definitely buying one. Not sure which color though, probably the blue but maybe the red or yellow. Of course with thumbsticks and LED ;D

    Just a question... Are the buttons colored opaque so you can't see the letters anymore, as they are in the preview?

    Oh wow, that's the coolest thing ever. If I ever have a spare 84 dollars (or whatevs) To drop on anything, I'll definitely consider it.

    Well, the thing is, there would be two types of paint, that don't really go together well. Alec aka Kun0shi already has the black and gray colors, but to get a blue like that, we would have to get it custom made, which is the different type of paint. I used a color similar to that on the original, but had to change it to the true blue after he told me about this. I will look further into it and give you definite answer soon.

    Read above ^.

    Only the red and white have custom colored joysticks for now. Also, thanks again for letting me do this.

    Yeah, they will be completely opaque like the preview, as if it was part of the rest of the controller.

    I talked to Alec, he said the base price would be $110-ish instead. If you guys really want them, we can add it soon.

    Ooh, I have cash now! Any way I could get one to say Cosmic Rick the same way it says Forge Hub on the other side? (with Cosmic in grey above the secondary-colored Rick)

    If I can do that, I'll totes buy one. Otherwise, I'ma have to design my own.

    I was see viewing those photos and I wish I had those skins, too bad I'm buying the Razer Controller. =( Also they are TOO expensive.

    Yeah sure, than can be easily done, just choose everything else, and make sure you leave a very very very specific note in the "Paint Jobs Options" I think it's called. Make sure to include what side you want it on, what colors etc.

    These aren't skins as in stickers or those slip on sleeve type things, they're actual controllers with these designs painted on them. Even for the actual painted controller, I would say this is a very good deal. You would probably find yourself paying over $85 for just the faceplate to be painted on most other controllers, not only at CaC, but here you get the face plate, back plate, and bottom plate all painted for a lower price and it's custom designed for you guys. Plus the $5 discount, lower that to $80.

    This.

    Mind also that the controller is ~$50 to begin with. So in reality this is really a spectacular deal, for only $30 you're getting all the sides painted, no-slow fix, rumble removed if you like, your gamertag, etc etc :D

    Boom. Ordered it. In red. Plus all the options. Including an orange LED so that the color scheme matches my Halo Emblem. Hope this is as sweet as it looks like it could be.
