Deal Details
Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 full model. Retails for $179 on sale for $145. Free shipping and returns directly from Xbox.

For those wondering what is the difference between this the "full" model and the cheaper "core" model:

"The primary difference between the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core and the regular (or full) Xbox Elite Series 2 controller lies in the accessories included and the level of customization available.

Xbox Elite Series 2 Core

• Accessories: The Core model is a more stripped-down version, and it only includes the controller itself along with a USB-C cable.
• Customization: It lacks the additional swappable components, such as extra thumbsticks, paddles, and D-pad options.
• Intended Audience: It's designed for gamers who want the basic features of the Elite Series 2 but may not need all the extra accessories or customization options.

Xbox Elite Series 2 (Full Model)

• Accessories: The full version comes with a range of extra components including:
• 6 thumbsticks with different designs
• 4 paddles
• 2 D-pads (standard and faceted)
• A carrying case, a charging dock, and a set of thumbstick adjustment tools.
• Customization: This model is meant for players who want to fully customize their gaming experience, offering maximum flexibility in how the controller is configured.

Both versions share the same core features like adjustable-tension thumbsticks, wrap-around rubberized grip, hair-trigger locks, and customizable profiles via the Xbox Accessories app .

In short, if you want more out of your controller in terms of hardware customization and included accessories, the full model is the better choice. If you're fine with just the essential features, the Core model offers the same performance without the extras."

I haven't had any issues with drift, but RB being finicky definitely makes Elden Ring difficult sometimes...

My rb button began to stick pretty early on this one. I got a red core elite for around 100 with a 2 or 3 year warranty included and picked up the accessories on temu for like $10 the core has been flawless with many hours of play.

Not worth, gets stick drift in few months and bumpers sometimes mess up. If it was cheaper I'll definitely pick up. 145$ still seems pricy
Agreed, I refuse to spend more than $100 on a controller.

I think Microsoft is coming out with their next elite controller in the next 6 months to a year. No rumors yet, but just looking at their release schedule it's about time.

I had been using it for about two years before both LB and RB started becoming less responsive. I switched back to the regular controller.
Yes I've had bumper issues on all 3 of my elite controllers, thankfully they can be fixed fairly easily (and for free by doing yourself) by just following along a YouTube video that shows you how to clean them.

TLDR: it's a great controller when it works. Not a terrible deal could be better.

Love this controller to death but I'm on my 4th replacement. First 3 the bumpers failed within months, shortest being jus 1 month before failure/missed inputs. However, I will say I think they changed something cus I'm almost 2 years on my latest replacement with zero issues.

I thought this was great, but then the replacement they sent me was not a new one, and I don't know if they have horrible QC or what, but I had to send it right back. The A, B, Y, D-pad up, down and start button were all sticking. I tried the trick of using alcohol and it sort of worked for a bit on the Y button, but then it started sticking again. The B button seemed to get worse after I used alcohol. I just sent it back because the warranty covered it, but it's rather annoying to get a replacement just to have to send it right back in again.

I loved mine to death, but it became unusable for my PC gaming because of the stick drift (the drift would keep you from using the mouse by overriding the input).

That is fairly easy to fix, if you get a repair kit and watch a couple of YouTube videos

Had 3. Stick drift and buttons becoming non responsive. I just bought a Vader 3 pro and a Brooks wireless adapter and LOVE IT. Total cost was about the same as this. Brook adapter lets you use any PC or switch or PS 5 controller.
