At E3 2019, Microsoft announced a new Xbox Elite Controller, coming in Fall 2019. Priced at $179.99, the new Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 will have Bluetooth support, a new built-in battery delivering up to 40 hours of battery life, new rubberized grips, and many more customization options for hardcore gamers.

“The Elite Series 2 is built to last with re-engineered components including the bumpers, thumbsticks, and grip material for improved resilience.  We developed new firmware to automatically calibrate thumbsticks for improved dead zone control. There’s also a premium carrying case for added protection,” wrote Navin Kumar, Director of Product Marketing.
