The kids now have their own Xbox controllers and controllers go through batteries pretty quickly. So, in both an effort to keep them charged but to also keep the entertainment organized I got a charging station. This will keep the entertainment center cleaned up along with the hooks I put in for the headphones. The kids have also been really good about not overdoing it in the Xbox since that television is used by all of us.

Tricking Out My New Controller

Apparently you can take your XBox controller apart and swap out different parts. I purchased some textured back panels for my controller that provide a better grip. I like that it is textured and not just smooth because I feel like it will slide out of my hands if it is just smooth.

I also picked up a kit to replace the thumbstick controller within my other controller. I am going to have to pick up a soldering iron as well but It will be an interesting thing to try and fix.
