Any person even remotely familiar with the video gaming industry has heard about custom controllers at least once in their lifetime. And those of us who are gamers and spend significant time holding an Xbox gaming pad in the hands, have come across the subject a lot of times probably. So what do these two magic words mean and what’s the secret of the enormous popularity of the product?
The history of Xbox One controller customization service started in 2014 with the appearance of the first generation of Xbox 1 gaming pads. Back then, the controllers maintained the original layout of the Xbox 360 pad featuring several tweaks in the design. The shape of the product was rethought, the analog sticks, shoulder buttons and triggers were redesigned plus the new vibrating system inside the triggers allowed a better, more haptic response.
The aesthetics of the new version of Xbox One controller immediately created a demand for more customization options. That’s when the most modding companies on the market came out with a feature called Controller Creator. Hey, even Microsoft Corporation didn’t want to miss on the opportunity to get their share in the field and introduced their Xbox Design Lab two years later.
