The best premium Xbox controller
This deal is only available for people with a My Best Buy membership. Specifically, you need to have a Plus or Total membership. The My Best Buy Plus membership costs $49.99 per year, so you could essentially get a year of that membership for free if you were already willing to pay retail price for the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Alternatively, anyone who is already a member or that would get a membership anyway can save $50 on the gamepad.
The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 takes the general design of the standard Xbox controller and improves it in several key areas. The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 has a metal-reinforced chassis and several customization options. You can swap the controller’s joysticks and D-Pad for alternative covers, fully remap any of its buttons, and use its included paddles to enhance gameplay. You can even switch between gaming modes with a dedicated button.
With Bluetooth and Xbox Wireless support, the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 works well for console or PC gaming. The controller also charges through USB-C and has a massive battery, so you don’t need to stock up on AA batteries.
The biggest knock on the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is its price. While it is a premium accessory, $179.99 is a lot for any single controller. The $129.99 deal is easier to swallow, especially when considering the retail price of the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2.
