Is the Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller getting a new color variant – The white version?

The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 has so far only been available in the default black c color scheme. But shared a short clip on Twitter (in a new tab Open in) by leaker Rebs Gaming showed off a new white version.

This clip first shows the box of the premium Xbox Series X|S controller. Next, let’s take a look at the controller itself, which wears a clean black jacket on white.

All the usual elite controller bells and whistles are taken into account. This includes a carrying case, replaceable analog sticks and customizable rear paddle buttons. It looks like the real thing, although we haven’t heard anything from Microsoft to confirm if or when this keyboard will actually be released.

Well, of course, the White Edition is not Microsoft for its Elite The most daring design of the pad selection. But it still stands out. I think keeping certain parts of the controller black – like the sticks and grips – is a sensible aesthetic choice. They contrast nicely with the white center.

The Elite Series 2 is an excellent controller. But it lacks one thing the regular Xbox wireless controller is plentiful: color options. We’ve seen countless bold designs for the standard Xbox controller, including the jaw-dropping Forza Horizon 5 Special Edition and stunning pink designs. But the elite haven’t really gotten the same treatment.

I hope this new white edition not only hits the market, but it’s also a gateway to a more ambitious design for the Xbox top pad. Seriously, the purple Elite pad was an instant buy for me, and probably for many others as well.
