Xbox Elite Controller Series 2's Home button just got a whole lot more colorful
Ever looked at that bright white Home button on your Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 and wondered: 'what if it was purple?' Well now it can be, with the latest Xbox update.
Microsoft has rolled out an update for the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 that allows color customization of the Home button. Want to trade that plain white light for a pink, green or even a yellow? Now you can!
Accessible via the Xbox Accessories app on Xbox Series X|S (via Xbox Wire(opens in new tab) ) you can take your pick from over 16 million colors by altering hue and saturation, thanks to RGB support. But it's worth noting that this new feature is only available for the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2. If you have a standard Xbox Wireless Controller, you're out of luck for now.
The update comes on the same day as the launch of the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 Core edition. This white version of the Elite, officially revealed earlier this month, is cheaper than the standard black. But that's only because the accessories bundled with the standard edition are sold separately for the white variant.
