The Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller is currently available at its lowest price ever from a major retailer. Both Walmart and Amazon have reduced the price of Microsoft's premium controller to just $124, down from its original $180. Target is also offering the Elite Series 2 on sale, but it's priced at $125, a dollar more than the other two retailers. This deal is unlikely to last long, so if you're an Xbox or PC gamer, now is the time to grab it. The Elite Series 2, which has been on the market for five years, has never been this cheap at a major retailer before.

Additionally, if you're planning to buy the Elite Series 2 as a gift or for playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle this week, you might want to consider ordering it from Walmart or Target. Amazon currently estimates that orders placed today, December 8, won't arrive until January.

The Xbox Elite Series 2 was released in 2019, but it remains the benchmark in the pro-style controller market. Its excellent weight distribution, robust build, and high-quality components make it feel worth its $180 price tag. At $124, it's an absolute bargain. While several third-party brands have attempted to compete with the Elite Series 2 in recent years, none have managed to surpass it in terms of value. Most of the solid wireless alternatives either match or exceed the Elite Series 2's full price.

Among the third-party controllers, our favorites for Xbox are the Victrix Pro BFG and Razer's recently launched Wolverine V3 Pro. Both have features that arguably surpass the Elite Series 2. The Victrix Pro BFG is modular, allowing you to swap thumbsticks for offset or aligned configurations, and it includes a six-button fight pad module. The Wolverine V3 Pro boasts excellent microswitch face buttons, two extra bumpers, four back triggers, and Hall Effect sticks, which are where the Elite Series 2 shows its age.

However, the Wolverine V3 Pro costs $200, and the Victrix Pro BFG typically sells for $180. Currently, the Victrix Pro BFG for Xbox is on sale for the first time, available in white or black for $160.
