The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 tends to run into the same problem as the DualSense Edge; it's a fine controller, but one that's just a bit too expensive to recommend at retail price. Thankfully, that's currently not the case at Amazon.

Those on a tighter budget might want to consider the Elite Series 2 Core controller. It's the same pad, albeit in a white hue and lacking extras like a carry case and charging dock. It's available for $124.99 (was $149.99) at Amazon US and a staggering £88 (was £124.99) at Amazon UK.

View DealWhile many of the best Xbox controllers have overtaken the Elite Series 2 in terms of features - like offering Hall effect sticks, RGB lighting, and other niceties, Xbox's premium pad is still impressive in a variety of ways.
The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is still, to this day, one of the most impressively modular controllers on the market, assuming you grab the standard version with accessories included.
A forward-thinking controller for its time, it was among the first to offer extras like a carry case, charging dock, Hall effect triggers, and swappable elements like thumbstick caps, d-pad top, and more.
Build quality and battery life are still very strong here. The pad has a luxurious feel to it, with a nice amount of weight that allows it to sit firmly in the hands. The textured grips are also a lovely touch.
Back in my PUBG Battlegrounds days, the Elite Series 2 was my go-to controller, and I used it for years until one of the bumpers started to give out.
It might not come up in conversation as much these days when talking about excellent contemporary gamepads. But at this new low price in both the US and the UK, it's still worthy of your consideration.
