Yorkshire Tea PlayStation and Xbox controllers now available

Yorkshire Tea wrote:The power of tea

Picture the scene. You're facing down a boss with three heads and a hammer as big as a truck, armed with nothing but a rusty sword you looted from a guard. Gulping, you look down at the controller in your hands, wondering if victory is even possible. And you see it - the reassuring branding of your favourite tea. "Yes", you say to yourself. "I can do this".

You begin the fight and are immediately one-shotted. You're clearly way too low level for this area. On behalf of Yorkshire Tea, we would like to apologise for this and any other in-game mishaps caused by the powerful feeling of self-belief our controller will fill you with.

Designed by POPeART!

How'd this happen, eh?

This all came about because POPeART (controller designer extraordinare) tweeted us to show a design he'd come up with. We really liked it, his followers really liked it and quite a lot of ours did too, so we had a bunch of Zoom meetings and turned it from a pipe dream into an actual thing you can hold in your real, human hands.

Not an April Fool, they're actually available to buy right now...for £150: https://www.littleshopofproper.com/shop.

*Tea not included.

Perfect for teabagging.

One day... one day... there will be a custom PlayStation PS4/PS5 controller design that makes me go "Oh man! I must get that!". Ten years later I'm still waiting for that moment.

Spiffing Brit will be happy

We are truly in the darkest timeline.

Do they do a blue one for Decaf? That's my weapon of choice.

The PS5 controller looks much nicer than the Xbox one, imo. The red splodge (just realised it's meant to be a teapot, but only because of the art on the box) ruins it.

For £150 I expect Yorkshire Gold at the bare minumum

PS5 one looks like Naked Snake's tiger stripe camo

Who's going to pay triple the price for a controller just because it has an advert for tea on it?
It should be cheaper than an ad-free controller.

I was going to say even if it was a brand I love id only pay like £10 more than usually for it being kind of neat. I cant think of any brand or game or anything you could slap on your controller that would make me pay this.

No one but it generates free marketing for them.

The box says "press X to boil kettle" and so I assume this controller will make unlimited cups of tea for you. :wub:

If this was £15-20 more than a standard pad, it’s the kind of stupid thing I’d probably want. Can’t see them selling many at £150 at all though.

Depending on how many they've made, it's the kind of thing I could see increasing in value.

Have you tried their Bedtime Brew? I've got a mild addiction to it.

You might be right, somebody paid £310 for this a few years back. :lol:

I'm really not a fan of their decaf offering, its dearer but the Clippers decaf is so much better in my opinion, go for a sleepy variant of Clippers too :lol:

You could well be right, I'm still not going to spend £150 on the off chance they go up in value, even then I very much doubt it'll ever be worth vastly more than the asking price.

Interesting. I shall look in to this.
