The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller has returned to its low price of $139.99, but this time you'll find it at GameStop and Microsoft. We shared a similar deal near the end of last year when it dropped to this price at Amazon, but the controller has since sold out there. If you missed your chance and you're still interested, here's another opportunity. The GameStop product page has been fluctuating a bit, though, so you might need to check stock at local stores or just refresh the page to see if it comes back.
A great controller for enthusiast gamers that want absolute precision and total customization. It has interchangeable thumbsticks and paddles, the ability to adjust the thumbsticks' tension, limitless customization, a 40-hour battery life, plus more.
Even though the Elite Series 2 came out during the older generation of Xbox consoles, Microsoft is working on firmware that will update it to be more in-line with current gen tech. It's still a super advanced controller that's incredibly customizable. With the interchangeable thumbsticks and paddle shapes, you can decide exactly what you want your hardware to do. Adjust the tension on the thumbsticks to your liking. Other features include shorter hait trigger locks and a rubberized grip that wraps around for the best ergonomics.
Dig a little deeper and you'll find even more customization using the Xbox Accessories app. This is where all the nuance comes into play with things like accentuation curve controls so you can perfect how you play. The rechargeable battery lasts for up to 40 hours so you'll never have to worry about it dying on you in the middle of a team fight. It even comes with a unique charging dock.
The controller features multiple ways to connect including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and a USB-C cable. That makes it easy to connect to your PC, too, if you want to use it for gaming that way.
The Series 2 gets 4.5 stars out of 5 and a The Best badge from our Windows Central review. Jez Corden said the controller's biggest weakness is its price, so at least today's deal helps you out with that. The review adds this controller "might be the best controller ever made" with "premium quality, premium features, and premium convenience."
