If you want a new look for your Xbox Series X/S

Microsoft is prepping three Xbox controller colorways for a busy November launch.

Apart from the standard Carbon Black and Robot White gamepads that come bundled with the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, respectively, there’s also a vibrant Shock Blue controller that really pops.

All three gamepads are available for pre-order (they’re $60 each except for the blue boy, which is $65) and there’s also an optional new $25 Xbox Rechargeable Battery + USB-C Cable play-and-charge kit.

I’m not looking to part ways with my Elite controller (even though the A button has started to make a mildly annoying noise when I press and release it), but if I were? Shock Blue all the way. It’s a beaut.

In case you missed it, the controller-customizing Xbox Design Lab is β€œgoing offline temporarily” with a hiatus lasting until 2021. When the program returns, you can expect to see its β€œnext evolution.”

I’ve spent entirely too much money on controllers over the past decade. It’s my secret shame.
