One of my favorite possessions is an old Xbox 360 controller. I’ve owned several over the years and the previous one got super worn out, but I just can’t bring myself to throw it out. I’m not even that much of a gamer, but there’s something about an old controller that just feels special.
I’m not alone, as a Reddit user shares a story about some Custom Controllers they’ve been sent. Their wife surprises them with a couple of designs, each more beautiful than the last. Each generation, she tries something different to protect them, but hasn’t put varnish on the latest one yet.
Custom Xbox 360 Controllers
“My wife got me a custom Xbox 360 controller as a gift,” they begin. “She has been making these for our kids since the Xbox 360 days and she just keeps getting better and better at it.” Each one is different and based on random conversations, such as one about an arm being broken by a swan.
The Xbox 360 controller is the favorite possession of the user who received it as a gift, with other replies sharing similar sentiments about old controllers. “I love it. I have a few of these myself,” one person replies. “Whenever I see people put theirs on display I always think, ‘I should do that,’ but I just can’t let mine go.”
“There’s something about old controllers that I can relate to,” another replies. “You want to keep them forever but they’re just too worn out to use.” Another user chips in with other controller designs, such as Rias Gremory.
Many people admire the thoughtfulness and creativity behind the custom controllers, with a user suggesting that the wife deserves a medal for turning random dreams into reality. Another user asks about the number 256 on one of the controllers, with a reply explaining that it is the favorite gaming character of the user who received it and that the number 256 is relevant to them.
There is a comment that has been removed, but others mention that the favorite gaming character of the user bears the number 256. You can check out the controllers in the Imgur album below:
