Stellar Blade Fan Creates Eye-Catching Custom DualSense Controller

A dedicated fan just dropped one of the most epic custom DualSense controllers out there, inspired by none other than Eve’s suit from Stellar Blade. It’s already got the PlayStation community buzzing, and while everyone’s sitting around waiting for Shift Up to finally release that update with photo mode and NieR: Automata-themed goodies, this fan decided to take matters into their own hands. Literally. And trust me, it’s impressive.

Here’s the thing, Sony has been seriously lagging when it comes to fully customizable controllers. Sure, we’ve all heard the rumors, but so far, nothing solid. In the meantime, fans have had to rely on third-party creators for personalized gear. But some people, like Reddit user Uwishuwereu, aren’t waiting around anymore. They took it upon themselves to whip up a custom Stellar Blade controller—and it’s not just cool, it’s freaking awesome.

So what does this controller look like? First off, the color scheme is pure grey and green—a direct nod to Eve’s outfit in the game. But this isn’t just some simple repaint. Oh no. Uwishuwereu went all out, using third-party buttons, swapping the D-pad, and even customizing the front and back shells.

And for the finishing touch? They applied waterslide decals to replicate the text from Eve’s suit. The controller now sports phrases like “Retrieve all the truth” and “Devastating like lightning.” There’s even a Chinese slogan that translates to “faster-than-light” for that extra sci-fi vibe. This post? It blew up. Thousands of upvotes on Reddit, with tons of people clamoring to know if they can actually buy this thing. And honestly, who wouldn’t want one?

But let’s get into why Uwishuwereu even bothered making this in the first place. Turns out, Sony hasn’t exactly been delivering when it comes to themed accessories. Back in the day—cue nostalgia—we had the 360 with all its crazy custom controllers, like those Gears of War ones that had actual scratches molded into the plastic.

Uwishuwereu pointed out that we haven’t seen anything that cool in a long time. The last one that grabbed their attention was the Astro Bot DualSense, and that sold out faster than you could click “add to cart.” Clearly, the demand for these kinds of unique, branded controllers is real.

Meanwhile, Sony hasn’t just been slacking on releasing cool custom gear—they’ve also been actively going after anyone trying to fill that gap. Remember when they threatened legal action against a company making custom faceplates for the PS5?

Yeah, they completely shut them down. Since then, fans have been left to their own devices, quite literally, coming up with creative ways to customize their consoles and controllers. Just like this Stellar Blade project.

But hey, some recent leaked patents suggest Sony might finally be catching on. Maybe they’ve realized people actually want more customization options. It’s about time, right? But until they get their act together, fans like Uwishuwereu are leading the charge, DIY style.
