You can save up to three custom profiles on the controller and switch between them on the fly using a simple button press. Whether you need one profile for sniping in Call of Duty, another for drifting in Forza Horizon 5, or something for RPG adventures, the Elite Series 2 has you covered. And don’t forget the Xbox Accessories app, where you can fine-tune button mapping to create the exact layout you need.
Battery life won’t let you down either. This lousy boy offers up to 40 hours of gameplay on a single charge, with a USB-C cable and charging dock included for easy recharging. Whether playing on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, or PC, you can connect wirelessly via Bluetooth or Xbox Wireless or plug it in directly with the USB-C cable for zero latency.
To top it all off, the Elite Series 2 is designed for durability. The wrap-around rubberized grip keeps it comfy during marathon sessions. At the same time, its refined components are built to last — because nothing’s worse than a controller giving up a mid-boss fight.
