Good news for those who were quick to customize their wireless Xbox controller via the new Xbox design lab, as Microsoft just announced that the first batch of orders has shipped. Microsoft’s senior product marketing manager Navin Kumar made the announcement in a new post to the Xbox Wire blog that users, who had already placed orders will receive their personalized controllers in early September, while other orders will arrive in 14 business days.


Microsoft announced the launch of the custom controllers during E3, along with the an upgraded version of the Xbox one console, code-named Scorpio or Xbox one S. Microsoft plans to give users extra options and a more personalized experience with their Xbox. Microsoft’s Xbox design lab is a first of its kind. It is an online customization program that allows users to customize their Xbox one controllers with colorful shells, analog sticks, buttons, and d-pads. With over 8 million different color combinations, every Xbox wireless controller is unique to its user. The custom-crafted designs can be shared on many social media platforms including Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.


It also allows players to identify their Xbox one controllers quickly in a group setting, with a personalized touch, and a laser-engraved unique 16-character message, that can be easily identified in case the hardware is picked up by someone else. Microsoft’s made-to-order controllers are currently only available for purchase in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, but the company hopes to bring its products to more Xbox markets in 2017 and will have more innovative features to share soon.


Multiple options are now available for Xbox one users as the upgraded Xbox one S also comes with a redesigned controller featuring Bluetooth support, textured grips, and boosted wireless range. These unique Controllers can be customized and ordered through Microsoft’s website, with prices beginning at $80.
