Amazon is offering the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller for $159.99 shipped with the price reflecting at checkout. Down from its $180 going rate at both Microsoft and Best Buy, this is a match for our last mention and is the lowest available. The Elite Series 2 offers quite a few upgrades from the original. Mainly, you’ll find a built-in rechargeable battery that works over USB-C, which marks this as one of the first Microsoft accessories to officially support the standard. Plus, it’s designed to last up to 40-hours on a single charge, which will last you through multiple all-day gaming sessions. Rated 4.5/5 stars. Want to learn more?

Now, those who aren’t ready to drop $160 on a controller might want to take a look at the standard Xbox One model. It’s around $50 shipped at Amazon, and will work great with the charge and play kit that we saw on sale for $10 earlier.

Those in the PlayStation camp will want to check out SCUF’s Vantage 2 controller. It brings pro-grade features to the PlayStation platform, something that is sorely lacking from Sony’s first-party lineup.

Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller features:

  • Play like a pro with the all new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2
  • Tailor the controller with new interchangeable thumbstick and paddle shapes
  • Experience limitless customization and exclusive configuration options with the Xbox Accessories app
  • Stay in the game for longer with up to 40 hours of rechargeable battery life
