Now to design some custom skins, to match my faceplate
We're experimenting with controllers now, too. Here's all of the details I can share. This was an experiment with actually printing directly onto a controller (that had been gutted - it was just the shell). The experimental run was satisfactory and a purchase order is being finalized. The key point here is that the customer provided actual controller pieces. The printing company was not the one providing the pieces, like they do with the faceplates. This is not likely to be something they will do as a one-off, but it may be something that can be done 10 at a time or something, IF the customer supplies the hardware.

The problem I have with this is that it encourages people to open hardware, which is a no-no as far as I'm concerned.

There are also a lot of restrictions because the controller housing varies so greatly in x-y-z dimensions. x-y is fine. x-y-z is like trying to wrap a flat piece of paper around a basketball. Where the image meets the edge will vary a lot, and getting a continuous image from the front of the controller to the back is a logistical impossibility (not improbable, just unfeasible). Images would have to be front only, or something like a non-repeating pattern like camouflage, animal print, etc.
