Microsoft has released two new color variants for the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller: Robot White and Soft Melon. These finishes are available exclusively through Amazon at this time. The update adds fresh aesthetic options to a long-running peripheral line without changing its core functionality.
New finishes feature adjustable-tension thumbsticks and hardware profiles.
The controller retains the standard Elite Series 2 design, featuring adjustable-tension thumbsticks and three-step trigger locks. It includes built-in hardware profiles that let players save different control layouts directly on the device. Paddles are located on the back plate for additional input options.
- Color Variants: Robot White, Soft Melon
- Price: $149.99 (Sale: $134.99)
- Features: Adjustable-tension thumbsticks, 3-step trigger locks, built-in hardware profiles, paddles, non-removable battery
A non-removable battery powers the wireless connection, which relies on a standard charging cable. The Robot White variant swaps the usual black and white contrast for an all-white Xbox button and ash-colored shoulder buttons. Soft Melon uses a gold faceplate with matching thumbsticks and D-pad, paired with a distinct shade of gold shoulder buttons.
The controllers are available to buy now on Amazon. The standard price sits at $149.99, but the current sale price is $134.99. Availability beyond Amazon has not been confirmed for other retailers.
This release follows earlier color drops for the Elite Series 2 line. Microsoft typically introduces new finishes to refresh interest in established hardware. The Core Wireless version maintains a lower price point than previous flagship models while keeping essential features.
