New low $96
Xbox Elite Series 2 core controllers.

Amazon is now offering the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Gaming Controller in blue for $95.99 shipped. This $140 controller has been fetching $116 in recent months, but today’s 31% discount on its listed price makes it significantly lighter on your wallet. Thanks to today’s offer, this blue version is now fetching $14 less than its previous all-time low from last year, marking a new Amazon low. We’ve tracked a lower price for the white/black version, but this blue variant has never sold for less than today’s price. It’s matching one of the lowest prices we have tracked for the red version, which is still $96 at Target. Head below for more details.

The Core edition of Microsoft’s Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is similar to the pro-grade, all-black Series 2 Elite controller that’s currently fetching $141 on Amazon. It essentially delivers the same experience overall, and you only miss out on the extended collection of physical customization options. You can still swap out the thumbstick toppers, D-pads, and paddles to tweak them to your liking, and you also get exclusive button mapping options in the Xbox Accessories app, support for up to 40 hours of battery life, and more. This Core controller also comes with a USB-C cable, an additional D-pad, standard thumbsticks, an adjustment tool, and more in the box. Be sure to check out our hands-on review to learn more about the experience of using the controller along with a more detailed breakdown of the differences between the Core model and the older Elite Series 2 controller.
