XBOX ELITE SERIES 2 CORE
Pad medicine
Not all of us can be pro gamers, but some like to at least pretend. Rather than making us all shell out the full £160 to cosplay with Xbox’s Elite Series 2 controller, Microsoft has launched a cheaper Core version that looks almost identical but leaves out a few of the more customisable features. You can still adjust the tension on the thumbsticks, change how much you have to pull the triggers before they engage, and swap between button layouts using the Xbox app, but you don’t get the rear paddles or additional stick and D-pad options. There’s also no charging dock or carry-case. Forgoing those will save you a full £45, though… which you can spend on some Fortnite lessons from your nephew. £115 / xbox.com
