Microsoft following leaks has officially announced the white Xbox Elite Series 2 controller.
The new controller is called Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core and is priced at $129.99, which is $50 cheaper than the current Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 in black. It will launch later this month on Wednesday, September 21.
The reason for the cheaper price is that it does not include all the accessories of the main Elite Series 2 controller like the four paddles, four additional thumbsticks, the extra D-pad, and the carrying case. It does include the thumbstick-adjustment tool, and a USB-C cable.
Those interested will be able to purchase a separate Complete Component Pack for $59.99 if they want the other accessories, including a charging dock.

Being able to buy this now at a lower cost and then the parts kit later down the line is a nice option. Also the elite controller getting design lab options is cool
nice, all white isn't good as the handles will discolour, this is much more durable for a white controller
This here's a black and white controller that actually looks pretty good. I wish the competition had a similar taste, since that's where the exclusives that interest me are - but Microsoft is doing everything else very well...
