These limited edition controllers are preconfigured using Xbox’s Design Lab. Design Lab is a service Microsoft offers that lets players create a uniquely designed Xbox controller. You can customize pretty much every piece of the controller, from the front and rear shell to the grips, buttons, and thumbsticks. An interesting fact is that, at the moment, none of these controllers can be imitated in Design Lab since the shell colors (red, blue, and translucent green) are unavailable.
The Elite Series 2 Core is the official premium controller for Xbox. The Core model is physically identical to the previous generation $200 Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, with integrated pro gaming features like adjustable-tension thumbsticks, wrap-around rubberized grip, and shorter hair trigger locks. The only difference is that the original Elite controller comes with more accessories: extra sets of paddles, thumbsticks, D-pad, and a travel case. The Elite Series 2 Core doesn’t come with any of those accessories. You can buy them separately as a component pack for $59.99.
