The Xbox Elite Wireless Series 2 controller is a fantastic piece of hardware that works on Xbox One and will also be compatible with Xbox Series X when it launches this fall. The only downside is that, with an MSRP of $179, it's a pricy proposition. Thankfully, if you have Amazon Prime, you can
get $20 off an Elite Series 2 right now. Just add it to your cart, and it will be $159. (If you don't have Prime, you can sign up for a
free trial and take advantage of the offer).
Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller Is $159 with Prime
Why is a controller worth such a premium price? It's a pro-level piece of equipment that offers a host of features and options to help improve your game. For starters, it has a wrap-around rubberized grip that makes it easier and more comfortable to hold, especially when a game gets intense and your palms start sweating. You can also adjust the tension of the sticks to your preference, which can improve aiming in shooters. Also helpful in shooters are the controller's hair-trigger locks. When enabled, these can give you an edge in a firefight, because your shot will register faster. Additionally, you can swap out a number of the controller's components. It comes with a set of six thumbsticks that let you choose between classic, tall, and wide dome designs, each of which offers unique benefits for certain types of players. You can also choose between a standard D-pad or the faceted one shown in the images. Finally, you get four paddles that go on the back of the controller and can be mapped to any button for easy access. The battery lasts for up to 40 hours of gameplay on a single charge. It also comes with a carrying case, a charging dock, and a USB-C cable. Obviously, the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller isn't for everyone. But if you're trying to maximize your competitive edge, it gives you lots of customizable ways to do so.
