Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller
This upgraded version of the original Xbox Elite Controller is a great option for anyone who plans on longer gaming sessions or a comfier, grippier gamepad for those intense boss battles. At $139.99, you’re getting it at $40 off the normal price of $179.99, too.
We rated the Xbox Elite Series 2 as the best overall Xbox One controller, calling out its satisfying amount of heft and grip. It offers a swappable D-pad and thumbsticks, rear paddle buttons, and tunable triggers that you can attach via magnetic connectivity.
If you don’t like the default button configuration, you can remap them yourself thanks to Microsoft’s built-in software, and you can connect via Bluetooth for a variety of use cases.
