If you really feel you need to customize your PS5 controller, then the best way to do it is probably swap the black faceplate out.

You can do this using a third party accessory, but be quick as the brand probably won't be around for long.

Get a PS5 Custom Colored Controller Plate

In a total "will they never learn?!" moment, Decor Evolve has released a range of custom colored DualSense faceplates for the PS5's incredible control pad.

The face plates, which Decor Evolve is selling alongside ornaments and storage solutions (to evade early detection?) come in a range of colors and sell for $9.99 each. At the time of writing there is a 20 percent discount if you buy four of the plates.

We suggest exercising caution if you decide to buy from the website. Use PayPal so you can get a refund if things don't work out.

Why Might These Face Plates Be a Bad Move for Decor Evolve?

We know from very recent experience that Sony does not take kindly to unofficial brands launching unofficial, unlicensed accessories.

As recently as January 10th, news broke that SUP3R5 had canceled all orders of its PS2 inspired custom PS5 consoles. It said this was because of "real threats" to staff safety, but perhaps it was more to do with Sony's dislike for intellectual property encroachments...

Looking further back into 2020, Sony also forced a third-party PS5 faceplate brand to first change its name, and then to cease production of its custom PS5 faceplates altogether.

This is the "will they never learn?!" moment we spoke of earlier. Surely Decor Evolve has seen these bans take place; disguising your bespoke DualSense faceplates as a lifestyle choice isn't really going to cut it with Sony, judging from experience.

Wait for Official Sony Products, Instead

If you really want to customize your PS5 controller, either you're going to need to break out the spray paint or wait for Sony to release its own customized face plates.

This is the only way you are going to ensure your money will not go to waste. There is no telling when Sony might force and end to production of these faceplates. Can you be sure you'll get a refund if everything goes belly up for Decor Evolve?

Given that the PS5 is brand new out, are you really that tired of the DualSense's appearance already? If you have a brand new PlayStation 5, we suggest concentrating on more important things, like moving your profile across and setting your console up properly.
