But when it costs nearly $200, it can be difficult to pull the trigger. That's where the Xbox Elite wireless controller Series 2 Core comes in. It's a more affordable version of the same controller, just without some of the customizable accessories you get with its more expensive cousin.
Right now, the Xbox Elite wireless controller Series 2 Core is on sale for its lowest price yet. You can grab it at Amazon for just $108.99, which is $21 off its normal price of $129.99 and a savings of 16%. This is the cheapest the controller has been since it dipped to a similar price in late 2022.

The Elite Core controller is an excellent option for gamers who want a bit of a leg up on the competition. It features adjustable-tension thumbsticks, a rubberized grip, and short hair trigger locks. Plus, it can last up to 40 hours per charge so you don't have to worry about the controller shutting off when you're in the middle of a game.
All you're really missing out on for the extra cash for its pricier alternative is a set of interchangeable thumbsticks, paddles, an additional D-pad, and a charging dock and carrying case — nothing you'll be forlorn without, especially when you can get a great controller for this price.
