TheControllerShop.com (TCS) is the first and premier source for custom and high-performance console gaming controllers. We were there in the beginning when custom controllers were first conceived and created.
How did we get into this business? Well, it all started online. We "photoshopped" some concept controller designs that became a sensation on various websites around the internet. After a couple months of soaking in the amazing response, we developed a method for bringing these concepts to reality.
The first custom controller to be used by a professional gamer was
created by no other than TCS founder Jordan "axi0m" McKinney; it was
the black and white MLG-themed controller seen in
this ESPN magazine
article with Tom "TSquared" Taylor, who used that very controller to
win the 2008 MLG National Halo 3 Championship in Las Vegas, taking home
$100,000 for his team Str8 rippin'.
If you are a competitive or professional gamer, you realize that your game is your art, and your controller is your brush; the standard, mundane controller that everyone else uses just doesn't cut it. We believe you should "Look pro, play pro, go pro."
For those of you who focus more on function than form, we've thought of you too. Our Thumax gaming grips can enhance your aim and increase comfort while our Ultra edition of controllers can increase your overall control and help bring out the best of your game.
