Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about how our controllers are built, what they work with, and how ordering, warranty and support actually work.
The controllers
Are GameCosmos controllers built with genuine parts?
Yes. Every build starts with a genuine OEM controller rather than a clone, and the internals stay stock. That means pairing, buttons, motion and wireless behave exactly as the original hardware does. What changes is the exterior and any upgrades you choose.
What is Hall Effect and do I need it?
Hall Effect thumbsticks use magnetic sensors instead of physical contacts, so they cannot wear into stick drift. If you have had drift on a controller before, it is the single most useful upgrade to add. Not every product includes it, so check the individual product page.
Can I customise the artwork or design?
Our designs are exclusive and made in-house, so shells, buttons and artwork come ready-made by us. What you customise is the upgrades: Hall Effect sticks, back paddles, mouse-click triggers and similar options, depending on the product.
What do the RGB LED options do?
On products listed with RGB LED, the lighting sits behind the face buttons and runs seven colours across three modes. It can also be switched off completely if you would rather play without it.
Platforms and compatibility
Which consoles do you build for?
PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, the original Nintendo Switch and Switch OLED, the Nintendo Switch 2, the Nintendo Switch Lite, and Switch Pro Controllers. Each product page states exactly which systems that item works with.
Do these work on PC?
The PS5, Xbox and Switch Pro Controller builds are PC compatible, the same as the stock controllers they are built from. The individual product page confirms compatibility for that item.
Are the Switch Lite products complete consoles?
Yes. The Switch Lite listings are full working consoles that have been rebuilt on the outside, not shell kits you fit yourself. They arrive ready to switch on.
Orders and delivery
How long does a custom controller take?
Every controller is built to order rather than pulled off a shelf. Most builds are assembled and quality-checked within a few business days, then shipped worldwide with tracking.
Can I cancel or change my order after paying?
No. Production begins immediately once payment is received, so orders cannot be cancelled after payment is submitted and requests to cancel a custom order after payment will not be approved. Please check your selection carefully before ordering.
My order arrived damaged or something is missing. What now?
Report any shipping damage, missing items or delivery issues within seven calendar days of confirmed delivery, and we will put it right. Contact us with your order number and photographs of the issue.
Warranty and returns
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Controllers and Joy-Cons carry a sixty day limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Switch Lite products carry a ninety day limited warranty covering manufacturing defects.
Can I return a controller if I change my mind?
Because each item is custom-built for you, all sales are considered final once an order is placed. Refunds are considered in specific circumstances, such as the wrong product being shipped, and we may repair or replace a product before issuing a refund. The full terms are on our refund, return and warranty policy page.
