A '''controller modification''' (commonly known as a '''controller mod''') is a cosmetic or functional change to a stock [[controller]].
A <small><sub>Hack</sub></small>' is a cosmetic or functional change to a stock [[controller]].


Cosmetic mods focus on changing the physical appearance of the controller, such as by recoloring the casing or merging two different shells together to form a two-toned controller. Although rarer, other methods of cosmetic changes can also involve placing LEDs into the casing or changing the physical appearance of individual buttons.

In general, modifications are [[Tournament rulesets|tournament-legal]] as long as they don't do something you couldn't do manually. For example, Fire Fox notches are legal, whereas an autofire function would not be. However, there is no unanimously accepted list of legal mods, so legality is on a case-by-case basis depending on the [[tournament director]].
