Frequently asked questions

What does prebuilt mean?

A prebuilt controller has a fixed design. The prebuilt PS5 and Xbox controllers and Nintendo Joy-Con pairs are built to order.

Can I choose individual parts in a controller builder?

Yes. The PS5 and Xbox builders offer selections including shells, buttons, trim and thumbstick caps.

Does a thumbstick cap include a TMR sensor?

No. A thumbstick cap is a cosmetic choice, while a TMR sensor is a separate optional upgrade where offered.

Which Nintendo consoles are the Joy-Con pairs for?

They are for Nintendo Switch and Switch OLED. They do not attach to Switch 2 or Switch Lite, and the console is not included.

What comes with a refurbished Xbox controller?

The refurbished listing is for the controller only. Batteries, a charging cable and original packaging are not included.

Can an Xbox Series controller be used with Xbox One?

Yes, the Xbox Series controllers also work with Xbox One consoles. They remain Xbox Series controllers.

Can I request a repair for a controller bought elsewhere?

Custom Controllers asks shoppers to check that the controller is supported and to describe any previous repairs or modifications. Repair compatibility depends on the hardware, not where it was bought.
