If you still have money to burn after buying a PlayStation 4, an Xbox One (or both!) and games for each, Evil Controllers wants to help with that. The company’s been churning out user-customized Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 controllers for awhile, but now it’s added the DualShock 4 and the Xbox One controller to the mix. For now, the outfit is offering a handful of pre-made designs, but an updated version of its controller creator webapp will be live soon.

If you thought the vanilla gamepads were pricey at $60, however, you might want to avert your eyes — these start at $85.
