It's been well over six months since Microsoft temporarily took the Xbox Design Lab offline in order to prepare for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, but it has returned - as of today - featuring the next-gen controller design.
By heading to the official Xbox Design Lab website, you can build your controller, featuring 18 different colours including the new Pulse Red, Shock Blue and Electric Volt options, along with an all-new black-on-colour ABXY button option, as well as a new black-on-white colour option for the View, Menu and Share buttons.
Microsoft says the options available are "just the beginning" for Xbox Design Lab, and the team will be "developing new processes, testing new materials, and innovating so we can continue to evolve the Xbox Design Lab experience."
"You can place your Xbox Design Lab order now in the US, Canada and most Western European Countries for $69.99 USD, with optional laser engraving for an additional $9.99 USD. Each controller will be delivered within 14 business days of placing your order."
Will you be creating your own Xbox Design Lab Xbox Series controller? Let us know down below.

Been waiting on this to come back!!
I love the Series S/X controller, the D-pad is awesome. I wonder if they'll release Elite Controller Series 3...?
I would pay so much more for an option that just lets us add custom prints on the face plastic, so we could make really customized controllers.
Yes! I've been waiting for so long, and now it's finally back!
I'll be getting one of these for sure!
With so many options though, how the hell do I decide what to get?! Haha
I just placed a order for mine. Very excited! It's my first Xbox Design Lab controller. I even got an engraving on it. The Series X controller is well built, I'm confident all be using it for years.
Cheers!
Awesome!!! I've been waiting for this to come back.
@LocalPenguin I haven't checked it out yet but you could save several designs before. I tried out a few different schemes before I finally decided on what I wanted to get.
Checked it out, doesn't look like the camo patterns or the shiny dpads and triggers, so I'll wait to design mine til more options are available. Til then I will likely just grab the Shock Blue Series X controller as a second one, and retire my XBox One Design Lab controller since the rubber grips are starting to come off.
Just a single colour option? That's a shame, hoped they'd have added that fascia from the Pride controller. That was cool. More multi colour options would definitely get my attention.
Picked one up. Went with the dark gray face with yellow thumb sticks and d-pad. Looks sharp.
