Meet us at Insomnia

The Insomnia gaming event kicks off on the 15^th of April. And what better way to celebrate the next generation of gaming than by giving our products a whirl at the NewGen Gaming Zone booth.

The New Gen Zone is appearing for the first time for Insomnia 68, and this is where you can meet us and try out many of our high-quality products. You will be able to play some of the newest games on the PS5s and Xbox Series X consoles that have been set out. You can try out these new consoles and our custom-made controllers all with free play access – so there is no extra fee for giving the New Gen Zone a try.

To celebrate this occasion, we will also be holding a series of giveaways at the event. We will be giving away a series of custom PS5 and Xbox Series X controllers to several lucky winners. So, be sure to pay us a visit.

If you would like an early look at some of the designs that you can try at the event, then the best place to look is our collections of Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 custom controllers.
