Alternatively, if you don’t feel like customizing every element on your controller and would prefer to just buy a controller sporting a theme based on your favorite game, Microsoft’s new “Inspired By” line of controllers will feature designs from titles such as Skyrim, Forza Horizon 5, Battlefield 2042, and Riders Republic.

Gizmodo describes these premium headphones as “annoyingly incredible.” This is the lowest we’ve seen the Apple AirPods Max yet.
The one small downside to designing your custom Xbox controller though is that controllers from the Xbox Design Lab start at $70 ($10 more than a standard Xbox controller), with some options like the new rubberized grips ($6.99) requiring some additional premiums. And because each custom controller is made to order, you’re looking at a lead time of around three to four weeks before it actually arrives.
But for people who want to show off their design skills with a truly unique controller, the Xbox Design Lab now has even more customizations than before. Meanwhile, PS5 owners are still limited to a much smaller range of official color combos for Sony’s Dual Sense controller.
