If you want to treat yourself to the Microsoft Xbox Elite Series 2 controller but don’t feel you can justify spending so much, there’s a deal for you. Walmart has discounted the controller by $40 – putting it at its lowest price since Amazon Prime Day.
The best PC controllers revolutionize your gameplay, with mappable buttons and triggers to make you a faster, more responsive player than you might be with even the best gaming keyboards. The Elite Series 2 Xbox controller from Microsoft is a premium option with a premium price, but right now it’s discounted to $139.99 from $179.99. I don’t know how long this deal will last, but I do know it’s a good one.
I’ve tried a lot of gaming controllers and the Xbox Elite Series 2 is one of my favorites. We were impressed when we tested it out at launch back in 2019, and in our Microsoft Xbox Elite Series 2 controller review dubbed it the best premium PC controller around. It’s been five years since the Elite Mark 2 was released, though, so is it still worth getting?
Absolutely yes, given its 40-hour battery life, customization options and comfort levels. Our tester also loved the changeable stick height and paddle-style triggers, and that it comes with a hard case to protect the pad when not in use on the go.
Admittedly, if you’re looking for a cheaper gaming controller, this Xbox controller – compatible with both PC and Xbox – isn’t the best option (even with the discount). But, it is well designed, solidly sculpted, and offers superior gaming performance for the money.
