Xbox Design Lab somehow adds even more customization options
Last October, the Xbox Design Lab added the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller to its already vast catalog of customization options. But Xbox has upped the ante by incorporating even bolder colors into its Design Lab lineup.
Some of the new color options include vibrant red, powder blue and neon pink, bringing the total number of colors available for the controller body to 16, with even more accent options for the rest of the controller. The new colors are available on both the Elite Series 2 and the standard Xbox Wireless Controller. Personally, I think the new colors are pretty dope, but if you really want to get me excited, let me add more than 16 characters for my personalization.

The design lab controllers are functionally identical to their off-the-shelf counterparts, with both featuring Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz wireless connectivity, are compatible with PC, Xbox and mobile devices, and their inputs can be reassigned through the Xbox Accessories app on your PC or Xbox console.
Standard Xbox wireless controllers from the Xbox Design lab start at $69.99, while a custom Elite Series 2 controller can go up to $149.99. However, those prices can increase significantly depending on the options you choose.
If you’re not ready to spend over $70 on a new controller, you can also get the Xbox wireless controller on sale in select colors for just $39.99. You will also find the Xbox Elite Series 2 core controller for $109.99.
