The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 Core is mostly the same gamepad as the flagship Elite, but with some extras stripped away for a lower price. And you can save even more right now, with 19% off at Amazon.
The controller looks and feels similar to the Elite, with the exception of its untextured, white matte plastic half. The rubberized grips are still black, with the same control configuration as its predecessor. You'll also find a 3.5mm headphone jack and accessories port on the bottom edge, as well as dual bumpers and triggers, a USB-C port, and pairing button at the top.
The biggest difference, according to PCMag's review, is its lack of accessories. There are no rear paddles, no alternate analog sticks, and no plus-shaped direction pad. (Though they can all be purchased separately.)
Still, the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 Core works just as well with Windows PCs and Xbox consoles. And it's on sale now for $104.99, down from $129.99.
