Off-the-shelf gear is fine. Gear built around you is better. Custom controllers and custom gaming PCs are two of the things that set Reboot apart — because almost nobody else in the area offers them. Whether you want a gamepad that matches your setup and plays exactly how you like, or a PC tuned to the specific games you love, building custom means every dollar and every detail goes where it matters most.
Custom controllers: performance meets personality
A custom controller is part upgrade, part self-expression. On the aesthetic side, you can swap the shell for a color or finish that matches your rig and add LED accents that make it unmistakably yours. On the performance side, upgraded thumbsticks improve feel and precision, and back paddles give you a real competitive edge by putting more inputs under your fingers without moving your thumbs off the sticks.
The result is a controller you can’t buy in any big-box store — one built to your preferences and, just as importantly, tested for feel and reliability rather than just looks. Come talk through what you play and how you like a controller to feel, and we’ll build something dialed in for you.
Custom gaming PCs: value where it counts
The biggest advantage of a custom-built PC over a prebuilt is control over where your money goes. Prebuilt machines often spend your budget on a flashy case while cutting corners on the parts that actually affect performance. Build custom and every component is chosen for a reason — no mystery parts, no wasted spend, and quality throughout.
Custom builds are also far easier to upgrade down the road, so your machine grows with you instead of becoming disposable. Whether you want an efficient entry-level rig for popular titles, a mid-range machine with room to grow, or a high-end build for max settings and years of headroom, the build is shaped around your games and your budget.
Which budget tier is right for you?
An entry-level build handles today’s popular games smoothly at solid settings and is perfect if you play mainstream titles and want great value. A mid-range build steps up to higher frame rates and meaningful future-proofing. A high-end build targets maximum settings, high refresh rates, and long-term headroom for the most demanding games. There’s no single “right” answer — only the right build for how you actually play.
Why build with a local shop
Building with us means you get expert guidance on parts, a machine assembled and tested properly, and a local team to turn to if you ever have questions or want to upgrade later. You’re not on your own with a pile of components and a YouTube tutorial — you’re working with people who game and who’ll make sure the finished product is exactly what you wanted.

The best custom builds start with a conversation about how you play. Stop by, tell us your games, your budget, and your style, and we’ll map out a controller or PC that fits. It’s your gear — let’s make it truly yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I customize on a controller?
Shells and finishes, LED accents, upgraded thumbsticks, and back paddles for extra inputs. Every build is also tested for feel and reliability, not just appearance.
Is a custom gaming PC better than a prebuilt?
For most gamers, yes. A custom build puts your budget into the parts that matter, avoids mystery components, and is far easier to upgrade later.
How much does a custom gaming PC cost?
It depends on the tier. Entry-level builds handle popular games affordably, while mid-range and high-end builds add performance and future-proofing. We build to your budget and your games.
