Microsoft unveils cheaper and simpler Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Controller

It looks like Microsoft will get the jump on Sony in the white-themed "pro" controller trend.

Sony recently revealed the DualSense Edge. However, Microsoft will have a white controller first with the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 - Core. This new Elite controller is similar to the older ones. It still comes with "adjustable-tension thumbsticks" and "wrap-around rubberized grip", among other features.

Unfortunately, the white Elite controller only ships with a "thumbstick-adjustment tool" and a USB-C cable instead of a set of "interchangeable components".

Of course, you only have to pay $129.99 for the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 - Core as opposed to the $179.99 price of the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2.

If you prefer to customize your white Elite controller, don't worry. You can buy an additional Complete Component Pack for $59.99.
