Xbox Design Lab returns with more customization options than ever
Xbox Design Lab returns with more customization options than ever
Microsoft's official custom controller development facility, Xbox Design Lab, has reopened. The site's relaunch includes a slew of new colour options, including that fantastic Pride livery, as well as expanded access to 11 new nations.
Players can design, customise, and order their own Xbox Series X|S controller using the Xbox Design Lab. Color choices for the controller's face, triggers, buttons, and sticks, as well as premium extras like engravings, rubberized grips, and metallic finishes, are all available.
The Xbox Design Lab offers custom controllers starting at $69.99 / £59.99 / AU$99.95. However, depending on how many features you add to your design, the price increases. On the Xbox Design Lab website, you may try out personalization for yourself.
What's new in the Xbox Design Lab this time?
For the return of Xbox Design Lab, a slew of new colour options have been added. You may choose from a variety of new camo and pastel hues, as well as the lovely Pride controller livery unveiled earlier this month.
Though charging more for Pride livery may appear cheeky, Microsoft has declared that it will donate up to $170,000(opens in new tab) to LGBT non-profit groups across the world.
In addition, the service is now available in 11 more countries, with Taiwan support coming later this year. Xbox Design Lab is now accessible in the following countries:
- Australia
- Czech Republic
- Greece
- Hungary
- Japan
- New Zealand
- Norway
- Singapore
- Slovakia
- South Korea
- Switzerland
While Xbox Design Lab is more expensive than buying a basic Xbox Wireless Controller, it's still a great service if you're serious about having a controller that's suited to your preferences. The colour selection is better than ever, making the service an excellent choice if you need a new controller for yourself or as a present.
If you want a nicer controller but can't buy premium pads like the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 or fantastic third-party pads like the Scuf Instinct, it's also a more affordable option. You won't get advanced features like adjustable back paddles that are featured on controllers like these, but if you're more concerned with the aesthetics of your accessories, you'll likely get more bang for your dollars.
