Xbox Design Lab returns after being suspended
Indeed, last October the Xbox Design Lab was suspended. A decision that allowed Microsoft to work on the transition with the new generations of consoles. But the platform for you to customize your official controllers is finally back.
Thus, the Xbox Design Lab allows you to customize almost any external part of the controller. Indeed, the body, the back, the bumper, the triggers, the directional crosses, the joysticks as well as the menu, display, share, and the famous ABXY buttons are all customizable.
You also have the option of laser engraving a personalized message of up to 16 characters on the controller.
A wide choice of customization
Regarding the options you have for customizing your controller, there are a total of 18 different colors to choose from for most games. Only the menu, view, share, and ABXY button parts have more limited options.
Microsoft also offers a dozen models of controllers already customized. You can of course take inspiration from it or create your own from A to Z. In addition, most of the color options are made from plastics containing 30% post-consumer recycled material. Only Robot White, Pulse Red, Zest Orange, and Regal Purple options do not include PCR plastics.
According to Xbox, this latest version of the Xbox Design Lab is just the beginning. Indeed, other customization options, as well as new processes, materials, and innovations, are expected to be added in the coming months.
If you want to customize your controller it will cost you $ 69.99. Add $ 9.99 for laser engravings if you want to inscribe text on your controller. Your controller should be delivered within two weeks of placing your order.
