SAVE $55: As of Dec. 10, the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is listed at its lowest price ever at multiple retailers — just $124, which is $55 off the original price. This is probably the best Xbox controller you can get on the market, so we recommend quickly picking one up at this price while you still can.

If you're an avid gamer and haven't yet experienced playing with a "pro-style" controller, we think you need to change that. It's the best way to play, and a perfect way to treat yourself this holiday season, no matter what console you frequent the most.

Xbox's version of the pro-style controller — the Elite Series 2 — is best-in-class, and it just hit its lowest price ever at multiple retailers. Pick one up at Walmart, Amazon, or Target for just $124 and save $55 off the original price. That's even cheaper than the list price ($129.99) for the more budget-friendly Xbox pro controller, the Elite Series 2 Core (which you can also get on sale for just $98 right now).

The Elite Series 2 comes with all the bells and whistles. In addition to the overall "premium" feel of the controller (which includes a rubberized grip), you'll also get a ton of customization options that'll let you mold the gamepad to your ideal configuration. Two sets of back paddles, swappable thumbsticks, and an additional D-pad all come neatly packed in a convenient self-charging carrying case. The controller allows for even more onboard tweaks you can toy around with like custom mapping profiles, adjustable tension on the thumbsticks, and shorter hair trigger locks.
