The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core boasts the same top-tier features as its pricier counterpart, the older generation Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, which typically retails for a heftier $180. Gamers can still revel in the integrated professional-grade perks, such as customizable thumbstick tension, a comfortable wrap-around rubberized grip, and quick-trigger locks. In comparison to the standard Xbox Core controller bundled with current-gen consoles, the Elite Series 2 Core stands out as a superior option.

The primary difference between the two controllers, apart from the color scheme, is the accessories. The original Elite controller comes packed with extra sets of paddles, thumbsticks, a D-pad, and a convenient travel case. Meanwhile, the Elite Series 2 Core doesn’t include these extras. However, here’s the good news: all these accessories are fully compatible with the Elite Series 2 Core, and they can be purchased separately in a component pack for just $60.
