Sacred Oils controllers are hands down the best controllers I have ever used. I've experimented with my own builds, different aftermarket brands, and restoring oem controllers and they don't meet the same level of responsiveness and accuracy. The lifespan on the builds is quite long in my experience and it's a nice bonus that they are goregeous as well. I've used Sacred Oils controllers exclusively for around 3 years now and couldn't imagine going back.
-It is the most consistent controller I have ever used. When I make a mistake in a run, I know that I only have myself to blame. I wish my controllers for my other consoles were this good.I have been using a Sacred Oils controller for the past several months, and it is an absolutely solid piece of machinery. I asked Skunky for a build that was tight and had good cardinal direction inputs, to minimize diagonals, and it has done just that and more. Skunky really has a gift for tailoring the needs of whatever game you’re playing, and while the controller itself won’t get you that next PB, it will certainly put you in a position to play to your ability and improve your skills. When not playing I also just stare at how beautiful my controller, Reptar, is. Not only are these controllers elite tools for speedrunning, they are also works of art made with love and care. If you are serious about speedrunning, a Sacred Oils controller is a must!I’m not good at controller tinkering. Sometimes I grind and get PBs with controllers that are out of the box or I’ve messed with. There’s something about the Sacred Oils controller I have. I don’t know what it is—I’m not good at this stuff after all—but when I plug that thing in success comes with it. Tricks land. Precise movement happens when it needs to. Skunky knows what’s what when it comes to making a controller control correctly. PBs happen — and a WR or two. If I didn’t have one, I’d buy one right now. It’s too useful a piece of kit to not have.I play Power Blade at a high level and it's a run of delicate inputs, micro-optimizations, and diagonals. So many diagonals... Even the slightest error can mean a significant timeloss. So I need a controller that is responsive and protects my hands for long grind sessions. My Sacred Oils controller from Skuny48 does the job perfectly. I played on it for an entire year before I needed to open it up for a cleaning and parts check. And when I did, Skunky was available to help me troubleshoot and get it up and running again. Plus, it just looks cool. I get tons of compliments on the color scheme and is a joy to play. I might be old, but that controller helps me feel like a kid again.Having been lucky enough to obtain two sacred oils controllers I can confirm amazing build quality that is able to stand up to some of the most input heavy games over time. The solid feel and accuracy of the D-pad makes them perfect for games like Zelda 2 or Marble Madness. Not only do they get the job done but they do it in style as each of our controllers has its own look and stand on their own as unique works of art. There is no doubt they are built with love and their creator takes great care to make sure each one is just as good as something they would build for their own use.
