Abstract: A cover for customizing and providing improved comfort and feel of a hand-held video game controller. The controller cover is an easily attachable and removable soft cover made of cloth, vinyl, leather, or the like, configured to conform to the size and shape of particular models of video game controllers. Openings in the surface of the cover allow for ready access to control actuators. In a preferred embodiment, the cover is provided with padded material such as neoprene or other compressible foam in proximity to the game controller handles, and the cover is ergonomically padded to provide an improved grip, improved gaming performance and a minimization of hand muscle fatigue even during a protracted period of continuous use.
