These cute Xbox “Vapor” wireless controller colorways have just been added to the Xbox Design Lab

New Xbox Wireless Controller designs have been added to the Xbox Design Lab, allowing users to customize a bespoke gamepad with a selection of steam-themed colorways.

Announced via a official release on Xbox Wiresix “Vapor” designs have been added to the Xbox Design Lab Suite. These include the existing dark blue Stormcloud Vapor variant which can be purchased separately as its own gamepad. In addition to this, there are now also Dream, Cyber, Fire, Electric and Nocturnal colorways.

Just like the other special colorways available from Xbox Design Lab, these Vapor models will add $9.99 / £7.99 on top of the cost of a custom Xbox Wireless Controller, for which prices start at $69.99 / £59 £.99 before additional design choices were made.

On top of that, the Xbox Wire post also confirms that each Vapor design “features a dynamic pattern unique to each controller.” In theory, this means that a certain degree of randomness is applied to the design, meaning that no two controllers will be steam-painted with identical designs.

Finally, Xbox has also confirmed the arrival of the Xbox Wireless Controller – Dream Vapor Edition. This will be sold as its own controller at Xbox Store starting February 6 for $69.99 / £59.99. It can be pre-ordered now directly on Xbox or at participating retailers.

If you’re not familiar with Xbox Design Lab, it’s essentially an official Xbox service that allows you to create a bespoke Xbox Wireless Controller or Xbox Elite series 2 Wireless Controller. You can personalize them with unique colors, add rubberized handles and a metal. Optional D-pad, as well as engraved text if desired. Of course, each individual customization increases the cost and the final design can be much more expensive than a standard Xbox game controller. But, for those who primarily play on console, it’s a fun service that allows consumers to add a unique touch to their gaming setup.
