The first Xbox Elite Wireless Controller came to meet a need that some players had to enjoy a fully customizable controller with a better touch than the original Xbox One that Microsoft sold on the market at that time. A very Pro product that wanted to become the norm within that competitive and eSports landscape that grew at the end of the last decade.
All the elements to succeed
But despite that perfection that it boasted of, its precision and those extras that we could not use with the normal controller, it never reached that customization program that Microsoft launched to sell us the gamepad of our dreams, the one in which that we could mix almost any color, texture and extra component that would improve performance during the game.
Unlike that first generation, the new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 has become part of the Xbox Design Lab program so we can choose exactly how we want it, either because we have been influenced by the passion we feel for the last game we got hooked on, or because we boast our own colors that we want to show to everyone who sees us play.
So, what exactly is everything that we can customize from this new command? Well, summing it up a lot, everything. Both the buttons themselves, such as the sticks or the triggers , the grip and the body itself or the crosshead. The combinations are infinite, although at the moment the textures and the possibility of choosing the pattern that Microsoft will print in our future Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 have not arrived.
Small but big details
The degree of detail that we can choose even reaches the rings of both sticks , to make the contrast of colors that we want to highlight much more evident. What’s more, the D-pad can also choose between having the traditional crosshead shape with well differentiated up, down, left and right controls, or faceted , as Microsoft defines it and as you can see in the image that we left right above
Now, this Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is cheaper than the first generation, among other things because those from Redmond have chosen to lighten some components from the box that not all users used and that made the final price more expensive. Now, as a basic, it will not be necessary to get them but if we believe that they are essential, within this customization process we can add the cams, sticks , extra crossheads and even the charging case by adding them to the cart, which will eventually come out for us. the price that practically had the first generation, that is, €199.99.
This customization is now available for orders that you want to make from the Microsoft website and with a practically immediate delivery date. It is true that as soon as we add some extra the account grows, but of course it is the best alternative for those users who want to clearly differentiate themselves from others, boasting their own colors, always obtaining the best performance.
Of course, for now it will continue to work with batteries …
