This year there has been a huge Pro Xbox One controller shortage due to a mixture of
manufacturing limitations and a larger interest from the general public.
As a result, many of the biggest aftermarket controller manufacturers are facing global shortage
issues.To make things worse, most companies are unable to provide a date for when they will be able
to deal with back orders for those interested in out of stock Xbox One pro controllers.What Is Causing The Pro Xbox Controller Shortage?
One of the major reasons why pro Xbox controllers are out of stock right now is because
Microsoft is moving away from the non-Bluetooth variant of their Xbox One controller.
Many custom Xbox controller manufacturers are still using the version without Bluetooth, which
means they need to deal with some adjustments before they can start shipping out the new
models.This is the main reason why there is such a large

We've been doing modded controllers for years - we've provided gamers the tools they have needed to take their game to the next level. We've completely nailed the modded controller market.
Recently, there has been a surge in interest for pro controllers - this is a relatively new space in the controller market and we think it deserves our name on it.
INTRODUCING THE EVIL SHIFT...
This new controller has been built from the ground up to compete in the pro controller space amongst giants like the Xbox One Elite.
The Evil Shift is currently in production for both the PS4 and Xbox One and will be made available this summer.
We've modded the Evil Shift controllers to their fullest potential, making sure not to cross any lines that would disqualify the controller from any official esports events.
This means we've got highly accurate interchangeable Evil Thumbsticks - these bad boys have more surface area, better grip, and can be swapped in and out on

In the gaming world, two new types of controllers have started to emerge. Besides the standard official controllers, we now have modded controllers and pro controllers.
Understanding the differences between each of these controllers is sometimes hard, but the differences are important to understand. Whilst both modded controllers and pro controllers may share similar qualities, modded controllers can often include features that would disqualify players from professional events. Pro controllers, on the other hand, have advantages, but they’re perfectly fine to use in professional events, LANs and esports tournaments.
Programmable buttons and macros
Pro controllers can have additional buttons and button mapping, but they can’t give players any abilities that wouldn’t be available to a player with a standard controller. As soon as buttons become programmable, it’s considered a modded controller.
By programmable, we’re talking about macros and combos. If you can

The industry for pro controllers is growing at a tremendous pace, and it’s no surprise when you consider how fast esports is growing too. Many players are often confused about pro controllers and whilst they add new functionality over standard controllers they are not considered to be ‘modded’ controllers.
In this article, we explain why pro controllers are in fact not modded and why you can use pro controllers in tournaments or esports events.
On the surface, pro controllers come with a wide range of benefits - they have additional buttons, button re-mapping and the quality of the buttons, D-pad, joysticks, and triggers are often a lot higher than standard controllers.
There’s no denying that pro controllers offer better precision for skilled gamers, but they do not include any ‘mods’ or affect gameplay whatsoever.
On the other side of the fence, modded controllers have specific ‘mods’ that can be used to get an in-game edge over other players. These mods could

Wondering what Xbox One arcade sticks are available? This article will feature some of the top sticks available for Xbox One players.
MayFlash F300
Despite the low price of $60, the MayFlash F300 has a lot to offer. It is on the small side of things, but it's got everything you need to play Street Fighter V or other fighting games competitively.
The F300 default stick and buttons are fairly responsive, but it's easy to mod them with higher quality equipment. In fact, the easy modding of the F300 is one of the biggest selling points - it's a great starter stick, but with a bit more investment it can be something to compete with other top tiered players. The smaller size makes it perfect for esports events and LANs too.
Razer Atrox Arcade Stick
With a $199 price tag, the Razer Atrox arcade stick is more in line with other high-end sticks. Although the standard layout will do you well, you can customize the Razer Atrox easily

There are a number of different PS4 controllers currently available, including controllers with aesthetic changes and gamepads with physical improvements.
In this article we have listed some of the most wanted PS4 controllers available on the market.
20th Anniversary Edition
Both rare and a homage to days past, the 20th anniversary edition features the iconic gray colors seen on the original PlayStation One controllers twenty years ago. Getting hold of a 20th anniversary edition DualShock 4 controller is hard today, and that only makes it even more valuable.
Gray Blue
The Gray Blue DualShock 4 controller was launched alongside the Limited Edition Uncharted 4 PlayStation 4 bundle - it's not as limited as the 20th anniversary edition, but it's a nice change from the standard colors.

In an interesting move to stand out from the crowd, Xbox has announced a bright and colorful red Xbox One controller.
The new all-red controller is expected to hit the online Xbox store from January 11. By all-red, we really mean it by the way. Everything from the accents on the buttons to the chassis and bumper buttons is red. The only hint of non-red is seen on the Xbox symbol, which remains white.
The new controller will be on sale for $64.99, and GameStop will also stock it, both online and in-store.
This isn't the first time Xbox has attempted to offer their customers new personalization options. In the past, they released the Xbox Design Lab, which allowed players to pick out their own colors for each part of an Xbox One controller.
Despite the selection of colors, the Xbox One Design Lab still can't trump our own Custom Controller Creator - we add a greater range of colors for selection, and also have a variety of decals and fancier graphics available

Details for the DLC content for Dead Rising 4 has been announced by Capcom. The upcoming game will feature a number of DLC releases, all of which will be available as part of the deluxe edition.
Alternatively, players can pick up the standard version of Dead Rising 4 and purchase the season pass in December. The other option is to purchase the base game and then purchase the DLC packs seperately once they are released some time after the launch of Dead Rising 4.
The first DLC pack for Dead Rising 4 will feature a number of holiday themed items and will be called the Stocking Stuffer Holiday Pack. This first pack will include vehicles, zombies, and costumes, all of which will be based around the holiday theme. The Stocking Stuffer Holiday Pack will most likely launch before the end of 2016.
The next DLC pack to launch will be golf themed mode. Player can play with up to three of their friends online in an eighteen hole golf course. Instead of water and long grass, zombies

Halo Wars 2 will have all of the key elements of a good real time strategy game, but it will also have some elements that could have only come from completely out of the box thinking at the Halo Wars headquarters.
It has been revealed that a 'mysterious mode' in Halo Wars 2 will offer gameplay that's unlike any RTS experience we have seen before.
Unfortunately we do not have any information about the mysterious Halo Wars 2 mode, besides a small tease from 343 Industries Studio Head Dan Ayoub, who said, "One of the modes, which I can only tease for the time being, is actually a completely new way to play a RTS. It really takes standard RTS gameplay and turns it on its head. And that's a mode that can be played in a shorter time frame as well, like five, six, seven minutes."
It's hard to say whether the new mode will truly turn RTS on it's head, or whether Ayoub's statement was a little overhyped. It seems that they have designed some kind of quick match mode that will
