Description
This is a customized Xbox 360 wireless controller with the Paragon logo/design made for the release of Mass Effect 3. The controller has been completely disassembled, painted, and then reassembled. The stock green LEDs around the guide button have been replaced by bright blue ones, as visible in the pictures. The trim, buttons, thumbsticks, and d-pad have also been replaced with crystal/clear blue parts.If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at kt.custom.controllers@gmail.com
Please note that this is painted, and therefore will show wear and tear over use (though it is clearcoated for protection). It is intended as more of a showpiece than as a day-to-day use controller.

Thanks! It's very time consuming, and the learning curve is a bit steep. But now that I've done it for a while I wouldn't say that this design was particularly difficult.

Really? Wow! How did you get into doing this, if you don't mind me asking? It's not exactly an ordinary hobby.
Person 1: What are your hobbies?
Person 2: Oh, you know bird watching, playing tennis... Designing Xbox 360 controllers...

It honestly started after I broke one of my controllers a few weeks after getting it. I dropped it and the RB button stopped working. I thought it was stupid to buy a new controller when it was otherwise working fine, so I looked up how to take it apart and fix it. Art has always been a hobby of mine, so it was a short leap from fixing to customizing.

That makes sense. Have you not been harassed at all by microsoft for selling these? They are usually pretty zealous about defending their so-called 'property'. I mean, they destroy data from hard drives that have been moved from banned consoles to unbanned consoles, so one would think they would be all over this!

No, but please don't give them ideas...

Don't worry. I'm opposed to intellectual monopoly on principle. They don't have any right to tell you what you can and can't do with your own real tangible property in your own time. The State, as always, has other ideas of right, however...
So just watch out. I'd hate to see another talented person ruined in litigation by such bullies.
