Ever wish your Xbox 360 controller looked more like a dense piece of wood with some typewriter keys wedged into it?

Forbes has put together a collection of fancy Steampunk Xbox 360 controller mods available on eBay, and they are all impressive. Along with the controller above, there is another with a key in place of the guide button that must be turned in order to use.

This is by far the coolest thing I've seen online today, possibly ever.
by ADAMMWOOLLEY Monday, September 17, 2012 at 03:26 PM

Well, I guess if you make a habbit of showing off your controllers, this would be cool. Unless it enhances the overall functionality of the controller, I'll pass.

I want that as a preorder bonus for Bioshock Infinite.

What an awesome way to play on the budding interest in steampunk! I'm guaranteed to get this soon; I hope they come up with a cyberpunk controller as well, considering the release of games like Remember Me.

There's only one thing missing:Replace the battery pack on the back with a hand-crank.

I love steampunk stuff. And I love the people who go to all the trouble to make awesome stempunk stuff. Pac-Gentleman is one of the cooler steampunk games I've seen.

One of the greatest 3rd party controller mods i've ever seen

Those are.....lovely i have to say...would love me one of them.

The person who made the pictured controller sells a modified Xbox 360 controller on Ebay once a week. If you wanted to follow his controllers, his shop name is trioxin_kustoms. His auctions always start off at 10 dollars and he always donates to charity. :)
Also, all of his controllers are fully functional, and quite comfortable.

That's so awesome! I'm gonna throw away my 2 new controllers I got, and get me this one!
by JohnElliott92 Thursday, October 11, 2012 at 12:36 AM

The one with a key to turn the controller on sounds awesome! After a while though it would probably start to get tedious. Realllly cool looking though.

Neat
