Pretty nice feature that they offer custom clan covers as well

That is pretty cool and would stop me from blinding myself when I scratch my face. Excellent idea.

quaide · Jan 30, 2014

Ohhhhhhh! I like it. Where do I buy it?

jax · Jan 30, 2014

Seems like a great way to mess up the sensors

This is literally my only complaint with the DualShock 4, but I always thought it was too ridiculous to mention. I suddenly feel less alone.

Newt · Jan 30, 2014

Too bad it doesn't fix the battery problems :/.

Jarate · Jan 30, 2014

I would love this with other custom pictures

Jonboy · Jan 30, 2014

That's awesome!

Matrix XII · Jan 30, 2014

I would seriously consider buying one of these.

It's a pretty good idea.

Draft · Jan 30, 2014

What is it with Sony controllers needing aftermarket fixes? I still can't use my Dual Shock 3 without a pair of cheap plastic things on the triggers.

bryanee · Jan 30, 2014

Just bought the PS logo one.

Just added the link on the article, almost got caught at work while using the phone lol

NEOPARADIGM · Jan 30, 2014

That's pretty cool.

LiK · Jan 30, 2014

Expensive stickers. But I love the idea.

You scratch your face with the DualShock 4? Shame on you. Enjoy your facegrease-worn thumbsticks.

stawnkald · Jan 30, 2014

Those are pretty cool. I bought the PS4 logo one, was $3.49 with free shipping. Not terrible.

And sold.

You get a set of 2 for $3.49 and it's free shipping.

teiresias · Jan 30, 2014

I'd love the PS-logo one if my OCD wasn't screaming at me that it needs to be lowered some because it's not centered.

I also don't deal with Ebay, so if the guy was selling these as an Amazon merchant I'd give it a try. The light doesn't really bother me (I don't even realize it's on most of the time because I have a homemade backlight behind my plasma), but it's still kind of cool looking.

zewone · Jan 30, 2014

I'll be buying that PS logo for sure.

erpg · Jan 30, 2014

Far as I can tell, this only ships to the UK. Shame. I love the PS Logo decal.

I was under the impression that the LED's have little to no effect on the controller?

Coconut · Jan 30, 2014

Has Sony said anything about being able to change the color or dim the light?

FeiRR · Jan 30, 2014

There's another guy selling even custom decals with whatever you want printed (e.g. clan tag). I have no idea if he's reliable http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Duals...htbar-Customize-FREE-US-SHIPPING/301084502319

Jonboy · Jan 30, 2014

I don't even mind the light, but this is awesome. Just bought the PS logo one.

LiK · Jan 30, 2014

someone tested them and said the lights cut the battery life in half. I don't have the link.

system11 · Jan 30, 2014

84 sold already. Come on Sony, listen to your customers on this, make it optional.

JetBlackPanda · Jan 30, 2014

I wonder what the character limit is. My gamertag would be sweet.

The Chef · Jan 30, 2014

Bought! Thanks OP!
Damn light bar is the worst idea ever.

Dawnblade · Jan 30, 2014

That actually looks pretty slick, but the lightbar hasn't really bothered me yet.

That sounds better. Now I'm interested.

hoserx · Jan 30, 2014

I think the light is cool but this is also neat. Will buy.

Majine · Jan 30, 2014

Never liked the light bar. PS4 is in many ways an elegant looking system. And then all of a sudden, Jetsons-levels of cheesiness.

Doesn't the XB1 controller do the same thing without the stupid light? Allowing the camera to pick up on the controller?

zma1013 · Jan 30, 2014

All controllers and consoles need the ability to disable LEDs lights and such. Playing with a Wii controller at night is madness. The blue LED is blindly bright. Electrical taped that problem but still, why does everything need to tell me when it's on, I'm staring at the damn screen and using it, I know it's on.

Robin64 · Jan 30, 2014

Don't have a PS4 yet, so no experience with this, but don't games use the bar and change colours to give a mood of things going on?

Dragnet · Jan 30, 2014

Just bought a PS Logo one, a little pricey for just one sticker but I'll deal with it. I can see these really taking off actually, wouldn't surprise me to see big brands creating their own versions soon enough.

Zomba13 · Jan 30, 2014

I just stuck a bit of black card over it. I can still see a slit of light if I look down at the controller but it stops it reflecting off my TV screen.

shag?

Cryoflar3 · Jan 30, 2014

Thats pretty cool. I wonder if they'll interfere with games that need the light bar.

5amshift · Jan 30, 2014

These look fucking awesome! Unfortunately I don't have the glare problem a lot of you guys are having, so these don't matter to me. Neat none the less.

BibiMaghoo · Jan 30, 2014

They look good. I'm not bothered by the light, but they look better.

plainr_ · Jan 30, 2014

A Steam logo would be cool.
