Microsoft‘s Xbox Design Lab customization program for the Xbox wireless controller has seen the development of several innovative and beautiful designs for the Xbox controller. The customization program indeed offers numerous options to give users a personal touch to their wireless controllers.

Xbox Design Lab is bringing back rubberized grips, metallic finishes, as well as new color customizations options on the wireless controller. The Xbox Design Lab online community is very innovative and growing as more users tap into the exciting world of customizable controllers for their Xbox Consoles.

The black rubberized grips are available on both the back case and side grips of the controller for better control and an additional layer of comfort even during extended use. There are 19 new metallic colors included for D-Pads and Triggers, while three new colors for controller parts are also part of the additions. The customization will add to the final cost of the controllers which starts at $70. Up to 4 weeks could be taken for delivery from when purchase and customization are completed. It is also possible to have laser engraving with a 16-character message on your new controller.

The Xbox Design Lab is available in a few countries including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Puerto Rico, and the EU. The one-stop online platform for your customization requirements is the Design Lab website.

Remember Motorola’s Moto Maker? A service that lets you customize your Motorola phone (select models) in various ways including choosing the material, colors, and even having an engraving on the back. Those were the good old days of Motorola. While you can’t customize any current Motorola phone, Xbox will let you customize the Xbox Wireless Controller for the Xbox Series X/S and even let you engrave it. Cool, right?

Xbox Design Lab isn’t new as it was first launched in 2016 and was available up until October last year before being shut down. Now, it is back and running, allowing interested folks to customize their own controller.

Users will be able to choose from eighteen different colors for the body, back, bumpers, triggers, D-pad, thumbstick, as well as six different styles for the action buttons, and five styles for the View, Menu, and Share trio of buttons.

Customized controllers cost $69.99, $10 more than the current selling price of a regular controller. If you want a custom engraving, that costs an extra $9.99, bringing the total to $79.98. Orders will ship 28 days after your purchase.

The service is live now for the US, Canada, and Europe. So go ahead and customize your own controller, even if you are not going to buy one yet. You also don’t need to own an Xbox console to buy the controller as it works with Windows 10 PCs and iOS and Android devices.
