For Sale: XBox Controllers With 9mm Bullet Buttons

May 10, 2012 in boom -- headshot, bullets, call of duty, clever, controller, count me in, halo, i like my buttons how i like my sippy cups: shaped like nipples, mod, not bad, pew pew pew, rage quitting, shooting yourself in the knee, sure why not, throwing controllers, video games

Etsy seller DieselLaceDesign (I love the smell of diesel and lace!) is selling these wireless XBox 360 controllers (plus DIY kits) with spent 9mm shells in place of the buttons. Will they make you better at Call of Duty? No. Will they make your friends think you're cooler? Probably, but only because your friends are sheep. Me? I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing. No, no I'm not. I'm a man who just changed into a dinosaur costume in the employee bathroom. The WOMEN'S one. It smells so much nicer in there. Plus you don't have to wade through puddles of urine. Admittedly, video game controllers with LIVE bullets for buttons would be kinda cool. That way you risk shooting yourself when you throw the controller after some kiddy teabags you playing Halo. It's like Russian Roulette for sissies with rage issues.

Hit the jump for a couple more shots including a white controller.

Thanks to Terry, who loves guns but doesn't keep anything but Airsoft ones in the house because he's like me and can't trust himself with a real firearm.

  • Yeah my friend showed me one of these the other day. nothing special and i noticed my thumb doesnt glide across the buttons like i'd want them too. so in essence, it's an ineffective controller and will most likely hinder your ability to play

  • You can find these and other mods on plenty of websites now. If you get a customer painted controller they look alot better. Just don't like the fact that the casing are smaller than the holes and rattle as a result.

    Sort it out GW! 99 times out of 100 I've never seen the amazing things you blog about but I've had these buttons for over a year now!!!

  • I thought this was going to be cool, even if it is  going to be associated with Call of Duty.  Then I saw the other pictures and it's kind of lame looking.  The rest of the controller needs to be themed for the casings, or it just looks goofy.  The bullet buttons look out of place on a normal Xbox 360 controller.
