Controllers are always finding more inventive ways to separate themselves from the pack: Thrustmaster’s eSwap Pro 2 and its hot-swap modules; the Victrix Pro BFG and its amateur engineer’s kit; the simple flamboyance of the light-up PowerA Fusion Pro Wireless. PB Tails’s Crush Defender is much more route one.

Designed for PC, Switch, and mobile, the Metal Crush Defender is made of metal and hand-finished with chisels and files to make every single controller different, with a curvy shape inspired by the ergonomics of the Porsche 550 Spyder. This combination of zinc alloy, old-school aesthetics, and battle-worn finish makes it look like it’s been in a long-forgotten war and wouldn’t look out of place in a Fallout or Borderlands game.

However, visual appeal can only go so far, but while PB Tails’s signature offering may not stand toe-to-toe with $150+ elite pads with extra buttons, trigger stops, and other bells and whistles, it’s still state-of-the-art, thanks to technology that makes it a truly one-of-a-kind controller.
