Microsoft’s Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller is a pretty good gaming controller over the regular model, and now the company has introduced two more color options for it — Red and Blue. With this, the controller now comes in four colors — Black, White, Red, and Blue. It is priced at US$ 139.99, and pre-orders for the Red and Blue models are now open.
Notably, the models are the Core version
of the gamepad that the company started selling last year. This means that it
doesn’t come with most of the customization kits in the original model. It
includes the controller, a braided USB-C to USB-A cable, and a tool to adjust
the tension of the twin analog sticks.
Apart from the change of color, the Xbox
Elite Series 2 Core is still the same controller that can be used with Xbox
consoles, PC, and mobile devices. There are some customization features that
can be set up in the Xbox Accessories app, including the ability to switch
between three custom profiles on the fly.
Coming to the battery life, the company
says that it can last up to 40 hours from a full charge. It’s worth noting that
this controller is missing a few extras compared to the Elite Series 2 bundles.
It doesn’t include the swappable sticks, D-pad, or back-button triggers.
