If you're on the hunt for a premium gaming controller without breaking the bank, AliExpress has a deal that might catch your eye. They're offering the brand new, original Xbox Series X Elite Series 2 Wireless Gaming Controller for just $99.18. How? By applying the coupon code "**IFP3TXY**" at checkout, you'll get a $15 discount. Plus, this deal includes the component pack, enhancing your gaming experience with additional paddles, thumbsticks, D-pad, and a case. The best part? It ships free from a local warehouse and will arrive in 1-2 weeks.

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for Under $100

Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Gaming Controller

Original Price: $179.99
Discount: 45%
Final Price: $99.18 at AliExpress
Coupon Code: 'IFP3TXY'

The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller stands out with its superior build quality and extensive customizability, far surpassing the standard controller that comes with the Xbox Series X console. It's packed with pro gaming features such as adjustable-tension thumbsticks, a wrap-around rubberized grip, and shorter hair trigger locks. The included component pack lets you tailor the controller to your playstyle with extra paddles, thumbsticks, a D-pad, and a case.

Finding the original Xbox Elite Series 2 controller at a discount is rare. Typically, deals are more common on the Elite Series "Core" models, which lack the component pack. The main advantage of choosing this controller over the standard one is its customizability. Without the component pack's accessories to modify the controller, spending significantly more than the already excellent non-Elite controller might not be justified.
