Grinding through ranked matches and skill trees with the Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller feels impressive as it adapts to you. Now available for $129.99 at Best Buy — a solid $50 discount from its regular $179.99 price — it’s the perfect opportunity to treat your hands to something special.

So, what makes the Elite Series 2 controller worth it? The controller comes with six interchangeable thumbsticks, four paddles, and two swappable D-pads, so you can fine-tune your setup for precision aiming, quick-fire combos, or whatever fits your play style. Plus, with adjustable thumbstick tension and shorter hair-trigger locks, every movement feels snappier and more responsive — perfect for competitive shooters or high-speed racers.

You can save up to three custom profiles on the controller and switch between them on the fly using a simple button press. Whether you need one profile for sniping in Call of Duty, another for drifting in Forza Horizon 5, or something for RPG adventures, the Elite Series 2 has you covered. And don’t forget the Xbox Accessories app, where you can fine-tune button mapping to create the exact layout you need.

Battery life won’t let you down either. This lousy boy offers up to 40 hours of gameplay on a single charge, with a USB-C cable and charging dock included for easy recharging. Whether playing on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, or PC, you can connect wirelessly via Bluetooth or Xbox Wireless or plug it in directly with the USB-C cable for zero latency.

To top it all off, the Elite Series 2 is designed for durability. The wrap-around rubberized grip keeps it comfy during marathon sessions. At the same time, its refined components are built to last — because nothing’s worse than a controller giving up a mid-boss fight.
