It's been available in the Design Lab since launch. It looks decent but is not good enough to dethrone my current favorite Phantom Magenta controller.

Pretty nice looking. I used the pink 360 one for most of that generation and would pick this up if I needed another PC controller.

Xbox controllers annoy me. They make all these great colours and then have Design Lab on top of that. And everything I've read says they're solidly built and don't have any huge problems (outside of the Elite 2 issues). But then they just don't have gyro for whatever random reason. Let me buy your controllers Microsoft. They look amazing.

We really need them to bring back Phantom lineup.
I would hope they do a purple one or put a better purple in the design lab. I'm not a huge fan of the one they have now.

No motion suite is the only knock I have against the Xbox controller.

I really want to buy some Xbox controllers but the lack of gyro just stops me. They should really just start adding it to these new colors or something because it just doesn't make sense at this point.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the Series controllers but gyro would help SO MUCH.

Don't care much for the straight up pink, but the combo of the pink with the white back and black trim is pretty damn nice

Hmm, might trade in my black one for this.

Then I can have a matching set! Pink PS5/DualSense controller, pink Xbox controller, and pink Joycons. Nice.

The only thing (outside of gyro) that annoys me about their stock colors is they won't commit to putting the whole color on the controller.

The Deep Pink is very much a YES if it didn't have that white backing.

In on this Deep Pink. I still want the Pulse Red controller (I wish my Xbox Series X|S were Pulse Red, like I swapped my PS5D covers to Cosmic Red). I just wish these controllers were pink and red on the back instead of white.

Still appreciating my 20th Anni controller, but it has some button imperfections I didn't catch before the Microsoft Store return window has just closed :/

Shout out to the Xbox One Dawn Shadow controller GOAT colorway, short of the SoT controller I missed out on. If only PowerA's Pink Lemonade controller colorway was an official wireless one.

it makes me sad that none of these custom controllers are ever available with the Elite kit.

If it was a scooch darker, then I would absolutely go for it.

I've still got my Green one and the bright and weirdly comfortable, FH5 one.

Looks damn good though.

That and back buttons. I'm done buying any controllers without them.

Couldn't they just release an add-on pack with both if they're not going to make new models?

People keep invoking the design lab but last I looked the design lab controllers didn't have the grips on the handles. If this one does that's the difference I need to actually buy it. Can't go back to no grip, doesn't feel as good

Edit: closer look reveals it doesn't seem to. But why???
