Ever since Xbox revamped its version of the Design Lab, it feels like Microsoft is pushing hard for players to have their own customized pieces of hardware, specifically controllers. However, one very exciting option was recently discovered that allows the Xbox Elite Series 2 controllers to change the color of the Xbox button. Without the need to perform any sort of additional hardware modifications or alterations.
In this guide, we will explore how to change the Xbox button color on an Elite Series 2 controller.
How to Change the Xbox Button Color on an Elite Series 2 Controller
The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller has been readily available for quite some time, but what you may not have realized is that it features a unique LED light on it. Even though it’s been there since the beginning, there was never actually a way to change the color of it, up until now.

Contrary to popular belief, the lights behind the controller aren’t just white LEDs, instead, they’re RBG and can be changed on an Xbox console or through Windows on a PC. That being said, your system will need to have received the September 2022 update, or else you won’t be able to activate this feature.
