What is this Xbox Elite Series 2 controller on sale?
The Elite Series 2 for Xbox Series S and Series X is Microsoft’s high-end controller for its home console. Players who want a pro controller with excellent ergonomics will gladly turn to the Elite Series 2. The finishes are of excellent quality and its weight of almost 350 g, without being handicapping, gives a good feeling of solidity and quality. The grip is the same as with a standard controller, but with a much better grip. Hands grip the pad better, thanks to the textured coating, and your controller won’t slip, even during a wild game of Hi-Fi Rush.
Four pallets, to be added to the back, act as additional triggers. Their configurable activation force and their ideal position make them the central element of this pro controller. What a pity that Microsoft does not include them in the box. You will have to add an additional €12.99 to own them. Directional cross and analog sticks are well marked and pleasant to handle, especially once configured to your liking. Ditto for the triggers, which have three different positions.
Is this controller for Xbox Series a good deal?
This is a very good price for the best controller for Xbox Series and PC. The promotion will also allow you to buy the palettes, essential to take advantage of the pad. The Elite Series 2 is set up with the Xbox Accessories app, available on Xbox Series and Windows. If you manage to get past the app’s recurring bugs, you can map the entire controller and adjust the sensitivity of the sticks. A secondary function can also be assigned to each button. Finally, you can save several different controller profiles.
The Elite Series 2 is powered by a battery with an autonomy of approximately two days. Charging is done via a USB-C port. The presence of a 3 m long cable is appreciable, in order to play while recharging the controller. Unfortunately, the battery is irremovable and you will have to send the entire controller to the after-sales service in the event of a problem, which is fortunately rare.
