Who doesn't love more? Introducing the newest expansion to Xbox Elite Series 2 with Xbox Design Lab! There is an innate joy that comes with making something truly yours. Since fulfilling the top fan request last October by adding Xbox Elite Series 2 to Xbox Design Lab, we've been working hard to take things up a notch. We're thrilled to announce that a new range of colors are now available, giving you even more ways to make Xbox Elite Series 2 controllers your own.

You will now have the choice of 16 main colors for your top and back case, 12 colors for the ABXY buttons, 17 different accent colors for the paddles and D-pad, and 25 accent colors for the rest of the controller. With vibrant hues like Garnet Red, Glacier Blue, and Deep Pink, to a stealthier option like the new black-out ABXY buttons, there are literally billions of possibilities for personalizing our most advanced controller. Xbox Elite Series 2 with Xbox Design Lab includes customization options that are unique to the controller; options like adjusting the color of the thumbstick rings and base for a subtle pop of color, or metallic triggers and D-Pads that give the controller a premium feel.



If you haven't experienced Xbox Elite Series 2 controllers, this is the perfect opportunity to do so. Each Xbox Elite Series 2 comes packed with everything necessary to play like a pro. Adjustable-tension thumbsticks, wrap-around rubberized grips, and shorter hair trigger locks can all take your game to the next level. Using the Xbox Accessories App, you can tune your controller through button mapping, adjust the thumbsticks and triggers, and even customize the color the Xbox button lights up as on your controller.

Have a playstyle that varies wildly from game to game? Use the profile button to easily switch between controller profiles, saving the time usually spent adjusting your settings and devoting it to where it needs to be - playing more games. Stay in the game with up to 40 hours of rechargeable battery life and refined components that are built to last.



If you want to customize even further, Xbox Design Lab has you covered. In addition to the controller, you can purchase pieces like the Thumbsticks + D-pad Pack, which features additional interchangeable thumbsticks with unique designs, and an additional D-pad that can be the standard cross shape or faceted. The Paddles Pack features a set of four paddles that attach to the back of your Elite Series 2 controller for additional input options, while the Carrying Case + Charging Pack provides a sleek carrying case, charging dock, and USB-C cable. If you want the complete package, that is where the Everything Pack comes in, which combines all the components into one.

Do you want to customize an Xbox Design Lab controller but don't know where to start? Take a look at the Inspired By collection. We've teamed up with some exciting game studios to give you an excellent starting point for your design - you can even create a controller inspired by one of your favorite characters or franchises! With billions of color combinations, we are excited to see all the wonderful designs the Xbox community creates with this new expansion.

The newest expansion to Xbox Elite Series 2 controllers with Xbox Design Lab is available now starting at $149.99, and we are excited to see what you will create! Click here to make it yours: Xbox Design Lab | Xbox.

I have used the design lab. I love the controller and use it as my main on my PC for games I well....use a controller on. For a choose your own look experience the interface is fantastic, the choices are almost overwhelming and the price (at the time I did it) of $99 for a controller (the last gen model w/ laser engraving) is fair. Would I do it for $150? honestly if my controller(s) broke, then yeah. Controllers are crazy expensive already in store for new models. For the same price or a little more I would rather just make one I actually like.

And I did.
