If you’re in the market for a quality controller without breaking the bank, now might be a good opportunity. Microsoft’s Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller in black is 19 percent off, down from $180 to $145. While this isn’t the lowest we’ve seen, it’s still a decent-sized drop from its retail price.
The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is a solid choice for Xbox gamers, regardless of your system of choice, as it is compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows 10 or 11 device via Xbox Wireless or Bluetooth. There is also an option to connect it with an included USB-C cord. You can swap out features like D-pads and paddles, save up to three unique controller profiles and explore button mapping options through the Xbox Accessories app. It also holds up to 40 hours of battery life.
Microsoft’s Xbox Wireless Headset is also on sale, down from $100 to $85 — a 15 percent discount. The headphones are compatible with the same systems as the Xbox wireless controller, such as the Xbox Series X|S. Additional features include auto-mute, sound isolation and up to 15 hours of battery life. The headphones feature sound technologies such as Dolby Atmos and Windows Sonic, with volume control dials located on the left earcup.
The wireless headset is still a good $40 more than its wired counterpart, but if free movement is important to you, the discount really helps. If you’re looking to update all your accessories for the summer, the sale brings the total price of the wireless headset and controller to $230 — saving you $50 overall.
