Xbox Fan Uses Design Lab to Recreate Daughter's Toy Controller
Over the years, games have become more accessible and have offered a wide range of styles of games of varying difficulty, ensuring adults and kids alike have games to enjoy. Even before kids get their hands on a game themselves, some parents go so far as to buy toy controllers for them.
Toy game controllers can be a fun option for little kids, especially if they're too young to enjoy real video games just yet. Little kids might be so inclined to «play along» on their own controller while watching their parents or siblings play the real deal, and one parent took that to the next level with their own child and a customized Xbox controller.

Reddit user and Xbox gamer Balc0ra took to the site to share a custom Xbox controller that they had designed by the Xbox Design Lab. The service lets users customize aspects of their Xbox controller, creating a custom design that's all their own. In this case, though, the parent decided to base their new Xbox controller off of something they already owned: their child's Fisher-Price toy game controller.
Balc0ra mimicked the Fisher-Price toy controller's colors extremely well. The D-pad is red, thumbsticks are blue, while the underside of the controller is a bright green. Balc0ra also did their best at imitating the top of the toy controller, with orange bumper buttons and purple triggers. It's not a completely identical match, since the Fisher-Price controller has a different layout of buttons and sticks compared to the Xbox controller, but the two are extremely similar.
Fellow gamers and parents flooded the comments with positivity, charmed at the parent's efforts. Some shared their own stories of their children wanting to play with their real controllers.
