Xbox Design Lab reopens with Microsoft’s updated Series X/S controller

Microsoft is bringing back its custom-controller webstore after taking some time off to retool it. Xbox Design Lab is available now, and it uses the updated Xbox Series X/S gamepad. This newer controller features a share button, but it also has improved ergonomics and one of the best D-pads ever made.

If you want an standard Xbox controller, you can just go buy one from the store. Xbox Design Lab is instead about building something of your own. If you live in the U.S., Canada, or most of Western Europe, you can order your custom Xbox gamepad for $70. For an extra $10, you can also add a custom engraving like this one where Xbox Games Showcase Extended host Parris Lilly informed the world that SpawnOnMe podcast host Kahlief Adams cannot cook:
