Just because an Xbox controller is pro, doesn’t mean it has to be overly pricey. Case in point: you can currently buy Xbox Elite Series 2 at Amazon for $149.19 (was $179.99), which is a hefty $30 discount.

As Amazon Prime Day deals go, this is a pretty generous one. While it’s not the lowest price the high-end controller has ever been, it’s a great discount for a controller with such great features, making it an enticing option now it’s on sale. And you won’t get it cheaper anywhere else: while Walmart has matched this offer, Best Buy still has it at full price, meaning this is the best value you’re likely to find currently.

In our Xbox Elite Series 2 review, we raved about this controller, calling it flat out ‘the best Xbox controller on the market’. You can easily see why: its adjustable-tension thumbsticks allow you to customize its feel to sort your play-style, while its shorter hair-trigger locks make it easier to squeeze off shots in shooters much faster. And this flexibility goes much further, with those fully remappable buttons and custom profiles making it easy to switch things up from player to player.

On top of this, its build quality is fantastic. As well as the rubberized grip, which makes it easier to hold in hand, it’s much more sturdy and robust feeling, while all the replaceable parts means it should last a lot longer than more budget pads. During our review, our only real reservation was that price tag – which this deal has handily made much more affordable.
