Norris’s customized line of controllers consists of four varieties. There are customized controllers for PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox Series X & S, and Xbox One. However, the controllers are themed after Team Quadrant’s iconic colors, neon green, and black. So, fans might not get a huge range of color choices, but the theme looks amazing.
Fans react to Norris’ custom controllers
As soon as Norris shared his brand’s new line of custom controllers, fans were thrilled about it. Fans showcased their excitement for the customized controllers and wanted to get their hands on the Lando Norris controllers. Even though the controller has just one theme, fans appreciated the appearance.
While the controller impressed the fans, the price tag failed to do the same. The Lando Norris controllers cost more than the standard ones. So, the F1 driver needs to look into the customized controller’s price tag. Let’s look at some of those comments.
