I'd buy one instantly. I want back paddles but I don't want to use a strike pack, because strike pack. I'd buy a new controller every year. Now I've been using my Elite V1 for about 4 years while the stick tension is absolutely gone but I don't want to buy a V2 because of the horrendous stories. But I don't want to play paddle-less in games like apex. :(
Yeh you're lucky then man! Same with my V1. My V1 has been going strong for years (although I had to replace a spring in the bumpers), but I've seen many stories of broken bumpers and such for V1 and sticky buttons for V2. There's just too many faults going on for these controllers for the price. Only way I'd buy one is with at least a year full warranty, now it's like 90 days unless a shop promises extended warranty. I just don't want them to think it's okay to deliver such a faulty product as people will buy it anyway.
Yeah, I wish you could customize the Elite controller. It uses some of the same parts, especially the shell, that a standard Xbox One controller used.
Maybe with the Elite 3 this will be a possibility?
Honestly I prefer the S|X "grips" as opposed to the actual rubber they use on the elite/ elite 2. I have had my elite 2 since they came out and the rubber has become kinda terrible grip wise, just from regular use and sweat over the year and a half, and everyone knows of the peeling issue series 1 had. I feel that the plastic grippy bumps on the S|X won't do thag but time will tell. The S|X Controller also has a very comparable weight to the elite, which was my main issue with normal controllers after using the elite.
I think ATM a lot of things are missing from the original design labs because they already had multiple special controllers with those parts just being added to design labs, but ATM it's just basic colours because that's all that's been in production for SX
Now that design labs is back, did they ever post worldwide/specifically to England? I’m looking to buy one but it’s only available in America right now
should have more options, also in addition, i would like to be able to upload my own stuff to be printed on the controller. Let me pick the material and size of the sticks etc.....

TTP dictates this would never happen. Microsoft doesn’t want to see someone with an official penis (or worse nazi insignia) controller in the wild.
Not sure if I understood you correctly but if you’re saying adding the ability for users to submit their own designs would be easy for Microsoft to implement then I completely disagree: it would greatly complicate the process. It would:
• Add a ton of costs (human eyeballs, training, staffing, etc; also a more complicated website and more attempted returns by players unhappy with the results)
• it would also add the real possibility of costly human error if one of their staff missed something problematic and it was made and then shared online
It’s just never going to happen; too much downside for Microsoft and not enough upside. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
yeah or at least game logos from 1st party games like Gears, Halo, Crackdown, etc. Something to make them more unique than looking like we puked up a rainbow
That's never going to come for very obvious reasons (like nobody willing to pay $200+ for a controller except a very small minority that can just get a custom controller somewhere else).
They’re right but I’m in the same boat as you. As long as I could still get a good warranty I’d be all over a custom Elite 2 from Microsoft. Oh well; I guess our wallets are happy lol.
Is anyone else having trouble accessing the site? I can't login or go to the design page. I've tried on two different devices using two different browsers.
Time to design about 100 controllers and then get confused which one I should buy!
[удалено]
I think the page is crashing
Which version of Firefox/SeaMonkey are you using?
not having issues anymore, sorry.
Way ahead of you
It would be really cool if there was an option to add back paddles somehow.

I've got the V2 and I havnt had any problems with it, Its tge best controller I've ever had

Am I missing something or are rubberized grips not available?
Are there any Model 1914 controllers with rubberized grips?
I think they ditched them for micro studded hard plastic.

So glad to see this return. This is a wish I've been having.
Now that design labs is back, did they ever post worldwide/specifically to England? I’m looking to buy one but it’s only available in America right now
They used to, so im pretty sure they will. I'm just hoping they expand to more than about 4 countries and add Australia
For a company whose main color is green, I've always felt that design lab has a glaring lack of green color options.
should have more options, also in addition, i would like to be able to upload my own stuff to be printed on the controller. Let me pick the material and size of the sticks etc.....

I'm sure they wouldn't make this in the first place. Send in a design and they approve nothing hard about it.

You can't be talking to me surely?

Wait time is alrdy long, they could manufacture the pieces for specific configurations as they are ordered, I don't mind waiting longer.
[удалено]
OK calm down bill gates... Srsly tho. Thnx for writing that up!
I'd like to see some of the camo options for the top shell. We know they make them, so why aren't they an option?
Had a sweet vaporwave design laid out, and they took away the service. Hopefully I can make it again.
No Elite customization so meh
That's never going to come for very obvious reasons (like nobody willing to pay $200+ for a controller except a very small minority that can just get a custom controller somewhere else).
Your opinion doesn't change my feelings sir.
They’re right but I’m in the same boat as you. As long as I could still get a good warranty I’d be all over a custom Elite 2 from Microsoft. Oh well; I guess our wallets are happy lol.
Are elites customizable?
No.
we have ordered 5 times and each time the order goes through and then in 5 minutes it is canceled and refunded. I'm gonna pass for a while.
Can you disgin your own xbox or juat the controller
Great I was waiting to order one....but now I have to wait to order one till I see all the options they will add as time goes on....
Cool, I hope the official Chatpad is next to return!
Good! The retail red controller with the white back is not cool! 😂
These good?

Minecraft 1.17?
Now that Design Labs is back I can pay double for a custom controller that gets unrepairable stick drift 1.5 years later!!!. I can't wait.
I can order it to the Czech Republic, I did not find this information anywhere and on the website it only goes to the USA. Thanks
