No the purchase was from Walmart a year ago. I was gonna purchase the controller from microsoft website

Understood.

Do both controllers look similar, or Is there a significant difference In appearance? Also, I assume the weights are almost equal and under 120 grams?

Well the one I have now is black so Id order another black one but an elite one weighs at 345g and the normal one im not sure the weigh but its definitely lighter. Im seeing sources saying 280g So not much of a huge difference If I couldnt do it with an elite because of the weight difference should I just go with a normal one?

The variance In weight Is minimal, so you'll be fine.
