If you don't need accessories like extra thumbsticks, D-Pads, and more, Microsoft 's Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controller gives you all the benefits of the regular Elite Series 2 at a significantly lower price. Now, you can get it even cheaper, as it's on sale on Amazon for just $110, or $20 off (15%) the regular price.

As mentioned, the Elite Series 2 Core is the same as the Elite Series 2, except for the white instead of black color and the lack of accessories. It offers a rubber wrap-around grip, a shorter hair trigger, and 40 hours of battery life. You get Xbox Wireless connectivity with Xbox One and Series S/X consoles, reducing latency and allowing you to use the headset jack. You can also connect it to a PC via Bluetooth. The Xbox Accessories app provides customization options, including button remapping, sensitivity curve adjustments, dead zones, vibration intensity adjustment, and LED colors.

If you decide you want the regular Elite Series 2 accessories, that's no problem — just buy the full accessories pack separately. This gives you everything the Core model lacks, including a carrying case, thumbstick adjustment tool, charging stand, two classic thumbsticks, one tall thumbstick, one dome thumbstick, a cross-shaped D-pad, two medium and two mini paddles, and a USB-C cable. Best of all, with the discount, you could buy the accessories pack and the Elite Series 2 Core controller and still save money compared to buying the regular Elite Series 2 model.
