History
Controller Chaos was founded in 2008 by a group of friends in a 500 square foot garage to address the lack of quality modded controllers in the gaming market.245 The company expanded by relocating to a larger facility, developing in-house painting and Hydrographic technology for custom designs.2 In 2012, it peaked in the modded controller industry with its proprietary Rapid Fire mod chip and add-on mods; it later adapted to next-generation consoles like Xbox One and PlayStation 4.24
