Save $40 when you step up to the Microsoft Elite Series 2 controller

Many of us remain bitterly disappointed by theXbox Series X– or rather, ourinability to buy one.

One way to feel a little better about that is to reward yourself by upgrading your Xbox One controller.

The Microsoft Elite Series 2 is the Ferrari of controllers, usually priced at $180.

This is a refurb, but comes in retail packaging and should look, feel and play like new.

The Elite Series 2 features adjustable-tension thumb sticks, a wrap-around rubberized grip and shorter hair trigger locks.

It also offers about 40 hours of battery life between charges.
