Customisable Xbox Elite Series 2 controllers now available

For years, Microsoft has offered players the opportunity to play their games using pro-level Xbox controllers, offering all things in the way of control customisability. Now, your Elite Xbox controller can match your personality, as Xbox’s Design Lab now features the Xbox Elite Series 2.

Making the announcement on the Xbox Wire blog, Daniel Ruiz, the Senior Product Marketing Manager for Xbox Accessories said “Since Xbox Design Lab launched in 2016, the number one fan request has been to include Elite controllers in our unique customization program to empower further personalization of our premium controller. Now you have billions of colorful ways to make the most customizable controller from Xbox unmistakably yours!”

In going to Xbox’s Design Lab, you will now be able to customise the colour of pretty much every single visible piece of the Elite Series 2 controller – except for its grips and the Xbox button. Still, this means that players can now customise the multiple different thumbsticks and d-pads, the back paddles, and even the carrying case itself.

The Xbox Design Lab Elite Series 2 controller will cost slightly more than a default Series 2 controller ($209.99 vs $179.99) though the relatively small premium over the base version will undoubtedly be worth it for many.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
