Microsoft's already-impressive Xbox Design Lab is expanding even further, as the company announced a ton of new colors for its high-end Xbox Wireless Elite Series 2 controller.
Available starting today, the Elite Series 2 controller now has the choice of 16 main colors, 12 face button colors, 17 accent colors for the paddles and D-pad, and 25 accent colors for the rest of the controller. The new expansion starts at a price point of $149.99.
Some of the new colors include Garnet Red, Glacier Blue, and Deep Pink, along with new options like black-out ABXY buttons. You can take a look at some of the new colors for yourself in the image below.
Microsoft has also highlighted the Inspired By collection, where game studios have taken a shot at designing an Xbox controller inspired by classic Xbox characters and franchises.
Xbox added the Elite 2 controllers to the Design Lab last October, allowing players to fully customize the triggers, D-pad, thumbsticks, and more. You can even select between a cross-shaped or faceted D-pad in the Xbox Design Lab. There are also new red and blue colors for the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 - Core, which are available now.
In our review of the Elite 2 controller, we said, “Microsoft has delivered a fancy controller with some handy tweaks to the original. It comes with a decent number of extras to add value, but the experience suffers from faults that shouldn’t be present in this price range, especially when the original Xbox Elite controller is now cheaper and has almost the same functionality but without the issues.”
