Can someone tell me what those clips holding the controllers are called?

I doubt these actually have a name since the whole device looks like it has been fashioned out of parts that were intended for other uses, how ever I would assume you need something to serve rather same purpose to use yourself?

Here you'll see pronged alligator clips which could easily be adapted to do the same thing, you could easily make the base out of small bore PVC pipe and elbow/T-joints, alligator clips are available in many different sizes and have a multitude of uses including hair care and model making, you'll easily find a size suitable for your controllers if that's what your after.

Well I just wanted to know what that clip itself is called. Thank you

The clip looks like something that may have slotted into something to hold it in place, here in Holland smaller versions are seen on light switches designed to hold the switch panel in place and also make it easy to remove, it's a simple push on pull off arrangement, but the example in the photo looks home made which is always fine if it serves it's purpose, and it seems to be doing that just fine

looks like they have just used a c bracket..Something like a guttering bracket and then shaped it at the top with a couple extra folds and some prongs, easy enough to make..

just using some kind of light gauge steel that has some spring, alternatively a docking charge station only costs about $10, obviously for the whole controller but may be adapted easy enough to display on or use as a painting perch..Pending on what ya want it for..

Awesome, thank you! Love the docking station idea!

The clips are just conduit hangers, maybe 1/2" or 3/4". You can pick them up for pretty cheap from any hardware store.

Just make sure you get the slotted hangers. It will have a hole in one side, and slot on the other. The bottom mounting hole will be for a 1/4" screw. Sorry, been awhile since I've worked with metric.
