Evil Controllers is a Tempe, Arizona-based company operated by brothers Adam and Jonah Coe that modifies Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 controllers. Notable for their rapid fire, fast reload, evil sticks, and accessible gaming modifications, Evil Controllers sells a variety of different customization options. Evil Controllers has been featured on majoring gaming sites such as IGN, Kotaku and Game Informer for their Controller Creator that allows shoppers to make fully custom controllers. The Controller Creator features photorealistic images on every part selected to give buyers an exact idea of what their controller will look.
At the moment buyers can add their game identities such as gamertags to their controller as well as specific icons to make a controller that is one-of-a-kind.
Evil Controllers began in president Adam Coe’s dorm room at the University of Arizona. Coe began by modifying controllers for his own use, and when the demand from friends for modified controllers rose, he realized a potentially great business venture could begin. Beginning with capital of only $500, Coe sold controllers on eBay. Evil Controllers, as a company, later moved to California, and subsequently to Tempe, Arizona, the location of their current office since August 2009. The first company in the industry, Evil Controllers has attended multiple events, including the E3 Electronic Entertainment Expo in 2009.
In September 2008, Evil Controllers began offering and manufacturing their own line of professional thumbsticks, aptly named Evil Sticks. Since 2008, Evil Controllers has continued to innovate on Microsoft’s original Xbox 360 Controller OEM design by addressing some of the issues that the controller, love it or hate it, was infamous for.
(Released in 2008) Evil Sticks are professional-grade thumbsticks designed to fuse the best elements of the Xbox 360 controller thumbsticks with those found on the PS3 controller. Evil Sticks feature a shorter height than the default OEM Thumbsticks and are convex instead of concave. This offers gamers greater force feedback which reverts the thumbsticks to the neutral position with greater ease.
