“Are you finally shipping ONLY the updated FST-00008 model or are you still shipping the original, defective FST-00001 model? I've had 15 (FIFTEEN!) of these since launch, a dozen through Best Buy and 3 through Microsoft directly, and all have been bad.”

Simple answer is no. I am the OP of the question and ordered another one without an answer anyway. It came in a busted shipping box and belongs to lot number 2022 and model number FST-00001. it was broken on arrival, again with defective sticks and face buttons and this time also a defective RB. This is a joke at this point. Microsoft and Best Buy should both be ashamed of themselves for selling this product. There is a reason Best Buy's protection plan has gotten more and more expensive since launch; they know it is a bad product. Good luck if you ever order this junk.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just pick one today, 10/21/2020. Lot number 2029, to replace my lot 1938, the issue on my old one, of course, was the notorious joystick drift and RB bumper that would work when it felt like, even when I hardwired it in. Anyways after reading your question and you answering yourself, I agree with you 100%, this is an issue that needs to be addressed and MS should for old version either do a free replacement or repair. And yes my new one is still a FST-00001. I’ve yet to test this new controller, but I hope it does not repeat. This is truly sad cause I do have the Series X on order and I can only hope this issue on the elite don’t carry over on console. I guess for now, one can hope and continuing to keep it under warranty just in case of failures.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Got mine in the mail today. Was advertised I’d be getting the new model. It’s an FST-00001 and the seal was broken. Paid for a new controller and got an open box. What a joke. 12/19/2020
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Today 5/29/21. I ordered the fst-00008 and they shipped the fst-00001. So to answer your question. It’s still no, they are still shipping the defective one. Probably due to the large amount of returns I bet.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I know this is an old question, but seeing the answers made me go look at my recent Series 2 controller i bought last week through Amazon and am returning because the bluetooth doesn't work and it has terrible stick drift. I am still torn about trying again, but through Best Buy so I can directly go to the store for returns. I had no idea about the FST model numbers and looked. The one I bought, July 2024, says it's the FST-00001. Man, the original defective models are STILL out and about being sold. Mine still had the seals on the box, so it was completely brand new. Why hasn't Microsoft pulled the old model..
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
