Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller drops down to $99 today at Amazon (Reg. $130)

Reg. $130/$99

Amazon is now offering the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller in white for $99 shipped. Also matched at Walmart. This model launched as an alternative to the original Series 2 back in September 2022 at $130, right before we had a chance to go hands-on. Today’s deal delivers a new Amazon low, coming within a few bucks of the best ever elsewhere, for the lowest price we can find. The latest Core models come with a trimmed down experience and a lower price of entry while still delivering on the customizable and pro-grade wireless Xbox controller experience. It doesn’t look quite as awesome as the new Starfield special edition wireless Xbox controller, but that’s just a themed take on the standard issue first-party gamepad – more details on that one can be found right here. You’ll find hair-trigger locks, adjustable-tension thumbsticks, a wrap-around rubberized grip, and what Microsoft describes as “re-engineered components.” Get a complete breakdown of what to expect right here and head below for more details. 

If you’re just looking for an extra gamepad for couch co-op or something with a notable D-pad for retro gaming, the 8Bitdo Ultimate Wired Controller for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and Windows is a far more affordable proposition. This one is selling on Amazon right now for under $25 by way of an on-page coupon as well.
