Peer to peer: Red PS3 Controller mod

QJ reader Fade3e sent us an email to show his very own modded PS3 controller. Apparently, he saw the new blue controllers on the shelf, and realized that red would go much better with the black buttons.

And as modders are wont to do, if it doesn't suit their tastes (and for some, their budgets too), they go ahead and tweak it to customize it for their own. He also sent a picture of the final product. What say you? You liking it?

If you guys have any more of your projects that you want to show off to the world for some good ol' spankin' critique, email us about it, alright?

No offense. That's ugly though. Red and the blue one. Just stick with black/white.

first off

first off i wanna say thankyou qj for posting this, im glad i can get a chance for some critique, and to the first poster, yea i wanted matalic red but regular red was all the store had so i settled, and its much redder(is that a word) in person the pic doesnt do it justice and makes it look more orange

Huh??

The front page pic shows the Sony and the Start,Select lettering unpainted then I saw your pic and its painted.. I guess you have to paint over them and not cover it up some how.. Nice work though.

by Fade3e - 2009-09-04 22:13:23
well i thought about it and

i dont like the words on the faceplate that much anyway so it was painlesss for me to cover it but i probably could have kept it on

That's awesome.

It's not even the fact it's red but the paint job is spotless and clean. I tried painting a 360 controller when I still had one and it came out dabbed almost everywhere. Lol. I have no words of advice because the red is nicely done but a suggestion that I'd do for myself if I was holding that same controller, add black decals on it. Designs y'know? Aside from that, great work Fade3e!

I like the idea

It's probably just the picture that makes it look worse than it is, but personally, I would have gone for a much darker red, probably with a clear gloss coat over the top. I like my stuff shiny.

by Fade3e - 2009-09-04 22:40:15
yea its the picture

the actual controller looks almost as dark as the article picture, and i didnt add any gloss because the controller is actually more comfprtable this way i noticed it is slightly more grippy so theres less sliding out of my hand

by Fade3e - 2009-09-04 22:42:33
thankyou

thankyou and yea thats actually a great idea to add some black decals on it, it would def help fill the void that was the sony select start branding

...

ever tried a pink one? good for the ladies, hehe :) just joking. I think a transparent one would be cool. But I guess that have been done already.

by Fade3e - 2009-09-05 08:09:11
ok well

i didnt know, and when was i trying to be cool? if you actully read the article the reason i asked for this to be posted was so i could get some critisizm on on my controller, and as far as some other posters have said that the color isnt the signifigant part its the quality of the paintjob, now if you have something contructive about my controller to say, then ill be glad to listen

by Fade3e - 2009-09-05 08:11:08
@ silver tiger

yea im not sure what color to make my next one, pink would be cool ;) but im thinking forest green

by danielakadanny - 2009-09-05 08:30:32

looks like someone had their period on your controller.

by Sw3RvE - 2009-09-06 08:33:00

by Fade3e - 2009-09-07 20:54:10
your argument is not with me

its with the dictionary ha just kidding, mod is short for modify so yes modifing the color would fall under mod, heck so would gluing tinsel to it
