How to change the LED color on your Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller

Changing the LED color on your Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller can be done either on an Xbox console or through Windows on a PC. Make sure your console has received the September 2022 update, or this will not work. Connect your controller to the system, turn it on, and go to the Xbox Accessories app. Make sure that it has been updated to the latest version as well.

When you are in the Xbox Accessories app, your Elite Series 2 Controller should appear on the screen. Select Configure, and you will be brought to the Profiles page, where you can adjust your controller’s button inputs and configurations. Move along the top of the screen to the edit pencil button and select it.
