The Xbox Series X has arrived, and players all over the world are enjoying the console or working towards finding an Xbox Series X/S if they haven't yet been able to snag one. The excitement of a new console often brings out the creativity of fans, and that's certainly the case with a Reddit user who recently posted their creation. The user made an Avengers-style Xbox Series X/S controller, and it's impressive.
In the world of gaming, there isn't much that is bigger than a new console release. And in movies or entertainment, there isn't much that is bigger than the Avengers, which is set to see the fifth film in 2021. Reddit user u/mike24jd combined both of those things.
The custom-made Infinity Gauntlet Elite Controller is pretty amazing. Using two sets of LED lights, the thumbsticks and shoulder buttons light up in a brilliant blue color. The controller as a whole is a chrome gold, and the face-buttons match the colors of the various Infinity Stones. The design is eye-popping by itself, but when seen with the Infinity Gauntlet in mind, it is clear that the controller resembles the all-powerful weapon from the Marvel universe.
Fan-made controllers are a lot of fun, as they provide customization and creativity that the standard controllers usually never see. It wouldn't make a lot of sense to design and sell a multitude of Infinity Gauntlet controllers, but a fan can certainly be creative and design it on their own. The Xbox Elite controller is also a great choice for visual customization, as the device itself is already programmable and customizable for the Xbox Series X/S.
The controller is also a nice positive for anything Avengers related, as the franchise has had a tough past few months in gaming. The Marvel's Avengers game did not perform well in terms of critical success, and the playerbase seems to have come and gone rather quickly. This Infinity Gauntlet controller is a nice win for Avengers fans.
The Xbox is not the only one getting love in the fan-made controller department, as a custom Dragon Ball Z PS5 DualSense controller went on sale recently that was made by a talented fan. Whether it be fan-made Xbox controllers, PS5 controllers, or even custom-made Nintendo Switch designs, many delight in seeing what the gaming community comes up with in terms of creativity. The Infinity Gauntlet Elite controller is just the most recent example of this.
