Microsoft introduces Xbox Elite 2 controller
Monday, June 10, 2019 at 1:12AM It’s been over a year since we’ve heard that a second-generation Xbox Elite controller was coming. The wait is now over. Microsoft just announced the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 at E3 2019. According to the company, the accessory has been completely re-engineered. It comes with new adjustable tension thumbsticks that just need a simple tool to improve precision. The trigger grips have been updated. The bumpers have also been redesigned. There are shorter hair trigger locks now so you can fire faster. The paddles and thumbsticks now have more customization options. It now has a wrap-around rubberized grip, which should make it easier to use these controllers.
The Xbox Elite 2 also gets USB-C and Bluetooth support. It also now has a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 40 hours per charge. You can play with it on the Xbox One or Windows PC. In the US, Microsoft is already taking pre-orders for this controller. It’ll be available on November 4th in 24 countries. It’s priced at US$179.99 (approx. CA$240).
