Microsoft followed up its release of the standard white model with a pair of red and blue editions of its most affordable Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Gaming Controller, and now we are tracking a solid price drop on the red variant. Over at Amazon you land the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Gaming Controller in red down at $95.99 shipped. Regularly $140, this is a solid 31% price drop and among the lowest prices we have tracked yet. While there were a number of offers at $110 last year, today’s deal comes within cents of the Amazon low for folks looking to bring the most affordable official Xbox pro controller home. Hit the jump for more details. 

The Xbox Elite Series 2 Core models deliver a sort of trimmed down and more affordable entry point into Microsoft’s current-generation pro gamepads. They feature adjustable-tension thumbsticks, the wrap-style rubberized grip, and shorter hair trigger locks. All of which includes custom button mapping via the Xbox Accessories app alongside three recallable profiles, up to 40-hour battery life, and compatibility with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, Android, and iOS. They might not be quite as premium out of the box as the standard Elite Series 2, but they are also a more affordable way to score most of the official customization action. More details can be found in our hands-on review and down below.

We now know Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, and Grounded will be the first of these games, as seen in the recent Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, and you can get even more details on what’s to come as far as Xbox hardware right here.
