Xbox announced two new controller models this week as they are expanding the Elite Series 2, as well as making the Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. The team released two new pieces on Xbox Wire, going over both designs, with the first being new color options and slight improvements on the original. Being an owner of the original version, this is a pretty dope upgrade with a couple of options for people who aren't into the uniform black look of the first one. Meanwhile, the Elite Series 2 will give you the option of working with a lot of colorway options for you to customize your setup however you wish, with an improved design over the original that shares some of the same upgrades of the Wireless version. We got snippets from both articles below on both controllers, as the Elite Series 2 is going for $150, and the Wireless version is going for $140.

"If you haven't experienced Xbox Elite Series 2 controllers, this is the perfect opportunity to do so. Each Xbox Elite Series 2 comes packed with everything necessary to play like a pro. Adjustable-tension thumbsticks, wrap-around rubberized grips, and shorter hair trigger locks can all take your game to the next level. Using the Xbox Accessories App, you can tune your controller through button mapping, adjust the thumbsticks and triggers, and even customize the color the Xbox button lights up as on your controller. Players will have a choice of 16 main colors for the top and back case, 12 colors for the ABXY buttons, 17 different accent colors for the paddles and D-pad, and 25 accent colors for the rest of the controller. With vibrant hues like Garnet Red, Glacier Blue, and Deep Pink, to a stealthier option like the new black-out ABXY buttons, there are numerous possibilities for personalizing this fan-favorite controller."
