The Xbox Elite Series 2 stands out as one of the top Xbox controllers available, and it's currently on sale at one of its lowest prices of the year. You can grab this pro-style gamepad for just $140 (down from $180) at Amazon or Walmart. This price is close to its all-time low of $138, which was seen last summer. Since then, price reductions have been less significant, making this an ideal time to upgrade.
Further customization is possible through the Xbox Accessories App, where you can remap buttons, create personalized profiles, or program 'shift' keys for secondary inputs on the gamepad. Additionally, your purchase includes a carrying case to safeguard your controller during travel. This price reduction is currently available at both Amazon and Walmart, so be sure to check the other retailer if your preferred store runs out of stock.
If you're looking for a middle ground between the traditional Xbox controller and the Elite Series 2, the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core might be a good fit. It lacks some of the accessories found with the Elite Series 2, but it's significantly cheaper and still offers features like trigger stops, adjustable analog stick tension, and the option to upgrade with additional accessory kits.
Here's a look at the three Xbox Elite Series 2 Core gamepads currently on sale.
