Customization is the name of the game here. With the Xbox Accessories app, you can remap buttons to suit your playstyle, save up to three profiles, and switch between them on the fly. Elite controllers are so adaptable. Sniping in Halo Infinite, building armies in Age of Empires IV, or slamming through quick-time events feel fantastic because you're playing how you want to.

Speaking of feeling like a pro, the battery life is built for marathon sessions. You're looking at up to 40 hours of playtime on a single charge. Add in the ability to connect via Xbox Wireless, Bluetooth, or the included USB-C cable, and you've got a controller that's as versatile as it is reliable.

At $97.99, this deal is hard to pass up. Xbox Series X|S owner, PC gamer, or do you need a better way to game on mobile? This controller seriously bangs your buck. Just act fast.
