Microsoft unveils an even more customizable Elite controller

Remember the Xbox Elite controller? Well, it's just been replaced. Microsoft says its new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 (what a mouthful) has "over 30 new ways to play like a pro," including adjustable-tension thumbsticks and shorter hair trigger locks. The pad also comes with wraparound rubberized grips and up to three custom profiles so that you don't have to reconfigure everything when you switch between Forza Horizon 4 and the upcoming Gears 5. According to a quick teaser, the Series 2 Elite controller will last 40 hours on a single charge and can be replenished with a bundled charging dock. The entire package, which is available to pre-order today, costs $179.99 and will ship on November 4th.

Here's everything that comes in the box:

• Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2

• Carrying case

• Set of 6 thumbsticks: Standard (2), Classic (2), Tall (1), Wide Dome (1)

• Set of 4 paddles: Medium (2), Mini (2)

• Set of 2 D-pads: Standard, Faceted

• Thumbstick-adjustment tool

• Charging dock

• USB-C cable
