Everyone’s Talking About the Switch 2, but This Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller Is Now Under $100

At the time I’m writing this, pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 have not opened up. They’re set to go live April 23 at midnight EST. That’s already happened by the time you’re reading this so to everyone who was unlucky enough to be timed out and not get a Switch 2 into their carts, I pour one out. I’ll be online later refreshing all my tabs trying to score too, but if you see this unedited in the morning you can safely assume I’m among the unlucky ones. But we’re not all fully out of luck just yet. If what you seek is simply to enhance the way you play games, you can do that with the Xbox Elite 2 series controller. Right now. it’s down to as low as $96 for a limited time—typically sells for $140.

The Xbox controller is sculpted with ergonomic flawlessness, comfortable to hold for long hours of playtime. The hybrid D-pad and textured grip on the triggers, bumpers, and back case provide tactile feedback while you game.

Elevate Your Game

The Xbox Elite 2 series controller takes all this so much further with the inclusion of four different customizable back paddles, adjustable tension thumbsticks, swappable thumbstick toppers, wrap around rubberized grip, and short hair trigger locks. It comes with a tool to twist the thumbstick mobility to your exact preferences. And the swappable tops have varying grips and lengths so you can choose a set that best matches your playstyle.

My favorite part though is simply the heft to it. These things are weighty in a good way. You really feel the solid components in your hand while trying to score some headshots in Halo.

Buttons are customizable and can be set up in three unique profiles. You can use these profiles either for multiple people or set them up differently on a per-game basis. Swap between them on the fly while you play. Battery life is impeccable as you’ll be able to stay in the game for up to 40 hours.

The Xbox Elite 2 series controller supports Xbox Wireless as well as Bluetooth, allowing you to easily pair and switch between devices. That includes and Xbox console like the Series X | S or Xbox One as well as Windows PCs, Androids, iOS devices, and even a Samsung TV.

For a limited time, you can get the red version of the Xbox Elite 2 series controller for significantly cheaper than usual. Right now, it’s down to just $96.
