Customizing Components
After selecting your controller, the Xbox Design Lab offers up to 10 different customization options. You can preview your design at any time and save it in your personal gallery to consider various iterations before making a final decision.
Body
The front face of the controller makes a powerful statement. With the Xbox Wireless Controller, opt for matte finishes or choose from stunning patterns like Vapor, Shift, Camo, Pride, or special game-themed designs. The Elite Series 2 offers matte finishes, the new Cipher series with a transparent look, or other game-inspired designs.
Back
The back of the controller can match the front or add a contrasting splash of color. You have access to all standard colors available for the face.
Grips
For a bit more investment, you can add rubberized grips to the Xbox Wireless Controller, which the Elite Series 2 already includes, providing enhanced control.
Bumpers
Customizing the bumpers adds a touch of individuality. Choose from all the available colors or metallic finishes for the Elite Series 2.
Triggers
Triggers come in various colors and metallic finishes. Whether you choose the Xbox Wireless Controller or Elite Series 2, make your choice reflect your unique style.
D-Pad
Select from standard colors or metallic tones. The Elite Series 2 allows different D-Pad styles, including our Faceted design. Explore single-tone metallic finishes or the vibrant Chroma designs.
Thumbsticks
Standard color choices apply to the Xbox Wireless Controller, while the Elite Series 2 offers customization down to the thumbstick ring and topper.
ABXY Buttons
Pick from several designs or colors for those classic buttons. The Elite Series 2 provides even more choices for unique designs.
View, Menu, Share Buttons
Five designs are available for the Xbox Wireless Controller, and the Elite Series 2 boasts a selection of 24 color options.
Engraving
Add a personal touch with a 16-character engraving. Make your mark with a name, Gamertag, or special message.
