With prices starting at $80, users can customize the color of the controller to be exactly how they want it to be. Working with the Xbox One and the new [Xbox One S](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delta-app), the Xbox Design Lab games controllers are wireless and enable users to make their own design rather than settling for stock options. Those looking to get their hands on a customized controller from the Xbox Design Lab can place their order as late as the end of August and receive it by September to coincide with the release of the brand's latest console. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Customization of Consumer Products:** The Xbox Design Lab reflects the trend of consumers seeking personalized and customized products. - **Interactive Gaming Accessories:** The Xbox Design Lab taps into the trend of gamers wanting interactive and customized gaming accessories. - **Consumer Demand for Unique Gaming Experiences:** The Xbox Design Lab caters to the trend of consumers wanting unique gaming experiences through customized controllers. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** The customization trend presents opportunities for innovative product offerings and technologies in the consumer electronics industry. - **Gaming and Entertainment:** The demand for personalized gaming experiences creates opportunities for disruptive innovations in the gaming and entertainment industry. - **Product Design and Manufacturing:** The rise of customized consumer products highlights the need for innovative approaches to product design and manufacturing within the industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Customizable Luxury Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elite-2-controller.md) - [Stylish Gaming Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xbox-wireless-controller.md) - [Gamer-Designed Custom Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-controller.md) - [Gilded Gradient Gaming Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xbox-wireless-controller-gold-shadow.md) - [Multi-Color Game Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elite-series-2.md) - [Ergonomic Customization Gaming Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-gaming-controller.md) - [Personalized Artful Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nak-studio.md) - [90s-Inspired Gaming Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sky-cipher-special-edition-xbox-controller.md) - [Pride-Celebrating Controller Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xbox.md)
