People are always asking what makes Evil Controllers so much better than all of the other modding companies out there. We figure the best way to answer that is to give you an opportunity to review a Q & A with both Evil controllers and the competition and then let you decide who is better. From the content of our competitor's site, we assume how they would answer.

Basically, if you want to buy a product and want to risk a 50 % chance that it fails, then you should buy from our competitors .However, if you want to be part of a company that is on the cutting edge of this industry then Evil is the way to go. The information listed below does not reflect all of our competitors. These answers are not embellished and our provide to you as consumer, so you are appropriately informed. We are business professionals that have achieved success by providing amazing customer service and a superior product.

Question - Do you use brand new Microsoft controllers?

Evil - Thanks for asking that question. Evil starts here, we only purchase brand new sealed Microsoft controllers. We have contracted accounts with authorized Microsoft dealers. These are the same controllers that are purchased in all the retail stores in the country.

Competitors- Well, our controllers are "LIKE" brand new. We buy from e-bayers and return-item sellers that specialize in selling used controllers. There is a chance that you will have minor wear and tear such as dirty crevices and worn triggers. This is how we sell so cheap, because we buy cheap products.

Evil Competitors
Clearly you can see how worn these "like new" controllers are. There is obvious damage to the trigger. Remember we ordered this controller and this is how we received it. What a waste of money

Evil Competitors
It is obvious that this "like new" bumper is scuffed and completely warn. Do you really want to use a controller that other people have used and abused? Buy Evil you will be the first gamer to use your controller.

Question - How do you warranty these products?

Evil- We offer a standard 6-month warranty on all of our controllers and the option of an extra year warranty for $9.99. Our standard warranty is 3 months longer than the original Xbox controller. We have these warranties as a safety precaution as our products are made with extreme care and by soldering specialist. Since we have been around for more than 3 years we are extremely good at what we do.

Competitors -We offer the longest warrant y in the business, even though we have only been around for about 6 months. I know it seems weird to offer a 2 year warranty when you have only been around for a short while, but who cares once we have your money. We do realize that 50% of businesses fail in the first year; here is a link to back that fact up. www.businessknowhow.com/startup/business-failure.htm

Question - Do you solder your own controller?

Evil - Yes, this is the most important part of the mod. We use only top of line soldering and gluing equipment. We have many industry secrets that we have perfected. Since we have modded over 30,000 controllers we have mastered the ability to make long lasting products.

Competitors- Soldering irons can range from $10-1,000, and the quality shows it. Our competition uses most standard Radio Shack irons which are for novice soldering. Contact points created with these irons are created very weak, which in turn means that they are more susceptible to having issues. Soldering is all about the connection to the circuit board. If you have an 'okay' connection you will find yourself with a malfunctioning controller. Competition also uses poorly stripped wires which commonly cause shorts in your controller. Go ahead shake your controller and all of a sudden the exposed wire on the inside will touch a metal contact, causing your controller to go haywire. If wires aren't routed correctly in the incredibly small controller, they can become pinned inside the circuit board. This will cause squeaking and the wire will eventually become severed.

Question - That's interesting, so how can I buy a product on your site?

Evil- Well you can purchase online or call us at the office, we are open Monday through Friday 9-5. We accept all major forms of credit cards, PayPal, and money orders. We have an average turnaround of 36 hours and you are emailed immediately upon payment. Once your item is shipped you receive tracking to your email.

Competitors - We only accept PayPal because it takes like a little bit of money to accept Visa. You need proper bank accounts and merchant services. It is pretty expensive and then the government can keep track of your sales. We have great customer service hours from 3-6, that's when I get out of school. Also I don't like working Fridays so I am only open for a total of 12 hours a week for customer service.

Question - How does the package come once I purchase?

Evil - Since our products are of the highest quality, we took 3 months designing custom packaging for our controllers. Our packages are custom made around the controllers to ensure safety.

Competitors - We use the free boxes USPS gives us. Usually, I wrap up the controller in some bubble wrap and just ship it off. Yes I know that the controller moves around a lot during shipping, but my postman says he is really careful with it.

Evil Competitors
Look how worn our competitors package came, it makes no sense to have a package 3 times the size of the product.

Evil Competitors
Our controller is completely secured and ensures that your controller will not be damaged during shipping. Our so called competitions controller moves around during shipping which can cause movement of the circuit board.

Question - How do you give back to the community?

Evil - Evil Controllers gives back to the community in a big way. We customize controllers for the physically challenged, so everyone can have a chance at having fun playing video games and won't be left out. Here at Evil Controllers, we have made some really amazing custom controllers for individuals that are missing an arm from the elbow down. Our most recent controller was made for a quadriplegic, and we actually designed him a one-of-a-kind controller. This controller was completely redesigned so he can play with his lip and cheek.

Competitors - Really? That is amazing! I am glad to see how much you do for the gaming community. We actually just make money off our customers and we don't really help evolve the industry.

Question - Evil - Is it hard that every concept you come up with is stolen after a couple of weeks?

Evil - We see it as a compliment that our competitors steal our images, website concepts, and ideas. We were the first to do ring of light mods, custom Evil Thumbsticks, and we created all of the terminology. Unfortunately our competitors do not have a lot of creativity, but that is the price we pay for being the best.

Competitors - We didn't steal your ideas, we just borrowed them.

Question - What about your evil sticks?

Evil- Our Evil Sticks are different than PS3 sticks, we went to manufacture and custom made our sticks. We took the best of both worlds and came up with the next generation of thumbsticks. We have shortened the posts which really improves the range of motion. We also added a non slip texture that improves comfort and feel of the thumbstick.

Competitors- We just by ps3 sticks and hope people confuse them as Evil Sticks.

Question - What do you do with your earnings?

Evil - As you can tell our website and our products are top notch, we spend a huge amount of our profit back into our business. We are here to stay, and as we have shown we are no flash in the pan. The better we can make the experience for our customers, the better we feel.

Competitors - Well my controllers are ok and my web site looks like an 18 year old made it. Oh wait; I am 18, so that makes sense now.

Question - So why should I buy from you?

Evil - Well we only use brand new Microsoft controllers. We have modded over 30,000 controllers. We are praised for our customer service and our persistence to excel in our customers satisfaction. With pending patents and trademarks, we protect ourselves for the benefit of being around to uphold our warranties. We do not do things cheap or without care. Call us right now and I am sure someone will answer. If you want a positive purchasing experience, then we are the go-to company. Once our patents are approved, these other companies won't even be around to update or warranty your controllers. Thanks again for the interview and remember: Why buy from the imitators when you can buy from the innovators?!

Competitors - Wait you guys have patents?

Question - What Kind of personal customization do you offer?

Evil- We offers a very unique graphic concept called Evil Imaging. This imaging is where the controller actually absorbs the design graphic creating an amazing feel. This graphic is easy to clean and does not harbor dirt like most skins. Also they are custom designs that we have selected, we only offer a limited amount to ensure the unique feel. Collect all three now. This imaging is not airbrushed or a sticker, those alternatives are not made with high quality.

Competitors - It is painted on top of the controller surface. We hand paint them so everyone is a little different than it might look on our website. This paint is not permanent and will chip in time. The paint can get really sticky with extended game play, where evil imaging stays consistent. We do not spend much time on research and development, so I'm not sure on how long it lasts. Oh and we are cheaper by like 5 bucks.

Question - Can you tell me about your alexa.com rating?

Evil - Alexa is a website that monitors traffic on our website and we are in the top 200,000 most trafficked websites in the world.

Competitors - We haven't cracked the million mark yet.
