Microsoft’s Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller is discounted to $140 (was $200) at Amazon and Walmart. The $60 price cut is the best we’ve seen in 2025. If Amazon and Walmart sell out–and we wouldn’t be surprised if that happened–the Elite Series 2 is available for $145 at Target and $150 at Best Buy.

The Elite Series 2 has numerous customizable features and swappable magnetic components not found on the standard Xbox Wireless Controller. Here’s a quick look at the controller’s key extra features and accessories:

• Four removable back paddles
• Metal analog sticks with adjustable tension
• Six swappable stick caps
  • standard (x2), classic (x2), wide dome, tall
• Two D-pads: Circular 8-way & standard 4-way
• Built-in trigger locks with three stopping points
• Three custom control profiles
• Charging dock
• Braided USB-C cable
• Hardshell case with accessory slots

Standard Xbox Wireless Controllers are also steeply discounted at multiple major retailers. Carbon Black and Robot White editions are on sale for only $40, and the recently released Breaker Special Editions are down to $60 (was $80). We included a full list of deals at the bottom of this story.

Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller

The Elite Series 2 previously retailed for $180, but it received a $20 bump in May when Microsoft raised the price of Xbox hardware and first-party accessories in response to the US tariff situation. Standard and Special Edition Xbox Wireless Controllers received $5 price increases at the same time.

You can save up to $25 on Xbox Wireless Controllers at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.
