The Elite Series 2 Controller Has Finally Landed In Xbox Design Lab

A custom purple, orange and blue Elite Series 2 controller from the Xbox Design Lab.

It’s finally here! The Elite Series 2 wireless controller is now available in the Xbox Design Lab, meaning you can nab yourself one of the brand new controllers in a custom colour scheme (among other customisation options).

The Elite Series 2 controller launched in September as an affordable option for gamers who want a pro controller without blowing extra money for certain premium accessories they might not use. The controller has adjustable-tension thumbsticks, shorter hair trigger locks, wrap-around rubberised grips and a more robust body. Then there’s an optional Complete Component Pack that contains the features that made the original Elite controller so popular, like paddles, interchangeable thumbsticks and an alternate D-pad configuration.

In the Xbox Design Lab, you can customise almost all the external parts of the Elite Series 2 controller, including the colour of the body, back case, D-pad, bumpers, triggers and buttons.

For the first time ever, you can also have a dual-tone thumbstick by customising the colour of the base and ring separately.

Like you can currently do with the standard controller in the Xbox Design Lab, you can also personalise your Elite Series 2 controller with a laser engraved gamertag or custom 16-character message on the front.

How Much Does the Elite Controller Cost In Xbox Design Lab?

Designing a custom Elite controller starts at AUD $219.95, at which point you can add customised Elite Accessories to complete the look for an extra $60, bringing the cost to $279.95. Adding an engraving is an extra $12.95.

That’s quite a jump from the price tag of a standard custom controller — which can cost between $99.95 and $153.65 — but there’s no doubting the quality of the Elite Series 2, and there’s something to be said for having your own personalised controller.

Start designing your Elite Series 2 controller here, or pick up the white Elite Series 2 Core controller and the Complete Component Pack if you want the premium gaming experience without the premium price tag.
