Part 1 - The Not So Evil History of Evil Controllers
An Evil History
Let’s start at the start. Evil Controllers was founded 2007 by a 19 year old college student named Adam Coe. Adam modified his own controller by first adding buttons to the back that allowed him to jump and melee without taking his thumbs off the sticks. Shortly after he began experimenting with different ways to improve and modify his controller and over time with the help of a programmer developed numerous advantageous controller mods and accessories. In 2008 Evil Controllers began making their own line of professional thumbsticks…in 2010 they released the Evil d-pad…2011 the Adroit, 2012 the Controller Creator, 2013 the Vision Backplate…I think you get the picture. They’ve been living and breathing controllers for more than a decade. That’s almost as long as the iPhone has been a thing. Crazy right? Anyways, Evil has been innovating in the gaming controller space a while now and if you’ve heard anything about them it’s likely something along the lines of…. they make high end custom modded controllers but what they don’t seem to be getting much attention for is their commitment to making gaming more accessible. The original idea behind the Evil D-pad was to be able to re-map the ABXY buttons to the D-pad so that it could be operated with one hand by gamers with well only one hand. Since then Evil has worked with The AbleGamers foundation to create unique solutions for gamers who face challenges when operating a stock controller. To this day Evil has an entire category of Accessible Products designed specifically to make gaming more accessible to more people. This commitment really speaks volumes about what kind of company Evil is. They actually care about helping improve the gaming experience for everyone by modifying controllers and making controller accessories. Not exactly what you were expecting to hear right?

Modded controllers have a certain stigma in the gaming community because most of us are competitive particularly in the first person shooter space. And they can give unfair advantages but what about gamers who have unfair disadvantages?! We spend a lot of time thinking about ourselves and why something might be unfair to us but who’s thinking about gamers who face mobility issues or who have physical limitations? Evil is. And they have been for the better part of a decade. They want everyone to enjoy video games!

I remember back in the day when all the optic members were rocking evil controllers, scuf never seemed like the main controller brand to me

Hi everyone. This is true story time with Socrates. I saved up some money for 3 longs months working overtime, penny pinching, and eating cheaper foods in order to buy a fully modded out Evil Controller for my birthday. My final price was about $370u.s. I know right! WTF?

I received the controller weeks later. It was built NOT according to the way that I ordered it. I sent in a support ticket the same day I opened it and they sent me a return shiping label saying that they would fix it. Well, they fixed it, but then caused another problem. Then sent me back the same controller not according to the way that I ordered it. The thumbsticks were too tall. Considering that I have small hands, this was not good for me. I sent in another support ticket. They in turn sent me out the same pair of tall thumbsticks and a med size pair with an email basically saying, and I'm paraphrasing here, "good luck with that". No instructions on how to install them or anything. After I kind of have them on, they stick now, not smooth movements at all. I realized then that someone in their factory turned off my capability to remap the shift paddles on the back. Long story short, their emails were cold with no customer relations skills whatsoever, no help from them at all, no refund in sight, just a $370 paperweight! Thanks Jacob! Guess you guys are so rich now scamming people out of their money that You don't need to truly focus on your customers.

I recently bought a fully Modded up controller from the Evil Controller company because I trusted the videos about it. There are so many things wrong with it and the company refuses to fix it, or refund me my money back, they told me that I have to fix it. It's brand new and should be working like new, right? Just a heads up folks, buy an Evil Controller at your own risk! I would try Battle Beaver instead, I just bought one of those with all of the bellz and whistles and it's amazing!

[KidhollyWood]

If I get a evil controller could I use it for the new consoles coming out next year

[SouseHouse]

This was a good video keep up the work man

[bigdave]

Because you didn't say like and subscribe, I liked and subscribed
I was looking at these controllers, great video

[shamelescampr]

Lol just got one, that code will drop it like 3-4 bucks, and it's $264 with decent modification

[Barriosanguizolahora]

Mine cost 400$ and its great but have to work a couple of hours to see which mod works the best with the game

[AboveMilitia]

Wow, great video dude. Top tier content right there 😁

[wadeepperson]

After seeing the fact they cater to disabled people as well. I'm down with trying one of these out. Scuf straight was a horrible experience. and looking at their warranties that's amazing I go to best buy to swap gear with geek squad protection since they all wear out and cost money to replace.

[Spooky_McDooky]

I been seeing a lot of mixed reviews on this brand and I just bought one. Now I’m a lil scared if I’m even gunna get the build I want and if it’s even gunna work

[codpwnss]

False stats on standard controller warranties

[metalmulishaz]

I just purchased one of these mastermod evil controllers for my Xbox a few months ago. But the rapid fireworks but not the auto run in fast reload. Am I missing something is there a way to enable it?

[walhouni]

Did anyone get email back from evil controllers ?
