Pimp out your DualShock 4 controller

1 min read
76

When the PlayStation 4’s controller was first shown we were all intrigued by the bright shiny light that made it look space age. However after actually using one for a while you start to get a little annoyed by the bright light and so a new design fad has been born.

The light shouldn’t be totally blocked out if you are ever going to use the PlayStation Camera since it needs that light to focus but that doesn’t mean you can’t customise your controller and make it truly unique.

Take a look at some of the current options and let us know if you’ve seen any which are better, or better yet let us know which ones you want to see. You should be able to click nearly all of them to make them bigger

And then I used my excellent Paint.net skills to design three of my own, what do you think?

So once you stop laughing at my lack of design skills why don’t you grab the base image from here and post some of your designs in the comments below.

I really like the idea of the clan name ones, especially for tournaments and some custom branded ones will hopefully be made by the gaming publishers moving forward.

      I can make one, but how are they doing this? making covers to go over the light or skins @Gavin I mean If you use black vinyl and cut through it will allow the light through.

        I know this one! Same question that I asked when I got my case with it’s customisable light projection on the floor.

        It’s simple. You create the design and print it on transparency paper. You don’t need to cut out the shape of the design. Only cut the print to fit over the light.

          Surely just printing it on a clear sticker type would work? then just cut the sticker paper to size?

            Clear sticker wouldn’t work. The black would still allow the light through a little give it a very dark blue look. Would have to be solid black vinyl the kind you use on cars.
