A: I spoke to in Microsoft ambassador over Twitter and they said that there was a first version of the elite 2 and there were many problems like the outstanding bumper problem that was in the elite 1 carried over to the elite 2. Microsoft pulled the product and are trying to now put the 2nd iteration in to production without telling any of the 1st iteration owners that there are huge defects with their controllers. My elite 2 that I bought in December broke in February. The Microsoft ambassador was not able to confirm if the issue that broke my controller was fixed in the new version. My right bumper broke.
A: I just got my 8th controller today after ordering a few days ago. Lot number 2002 (meaning it was made in the 2nd week of this year, 2020). Without testing in game, I can say that the sticks were the best feeling sticks I've had so far. They had no play/wiggle whatsoever, which is a first for me after going through 8 of these. That being said, both the A and the Y buttons worked at most 50% of the time and the B button worked closer to 80-90% of the time when testing in the Xbox Accessories app and going through menus. Basically, as of the second week of January, they have still been coming from the factory faulty. Because I still have a GSP plan, I will be continuing to buy and return these controllers until I finally receive a functional Item. If one ever comes, I will let you know, especially if they actually send the new model (model FST-00008 as opposed to original model FST-00001) that I keep placing orders for that they continue fulfilling by sending older models.

High quality controller
I love good controllers, and this one is great. Battery life is super long, and it had a nice weight to it. The grip is a nice addition as well I did get the warranty, because ive heard of stick drift issues people have with these controllers, so keep that in mind. No problems so far, but its still pretty new to me.

Great controller for the slightly more than casual
Disclaimer: I got this item on sale. I would never buy this full price, but that’s a matter of personal priorities. That being said, I love this controller! It’s weighted a good bit heavier than a normal Xbox controller, which is nice. The textured, rubberized grips are great for extended gameplay. If you are interested in the extra thumb sticks, paddles, and d pad they can be gotten on Amazon from 3rd party sellers for a lot less than Microsoft’s versions. You can map 3 different profiles for different games or play styles and change them easily with a switch on the controller. It anlso has a great battery life so far. Overall, great controller. Would recommend.
