QuestionI have been trying to order this for a month or so and it still says that it is sold out?? How can a store as big as best buy be out of these for that long? Other retailers have them in stock what is going on?
Asked 6 years ago by jake.
- Answer 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.

QuestionAny idea when they will be back in stock and if the issues with bumpers, stick drift, xyab, will be fixed when more are available?
Asked 6 years ago by Ehilton.
- Answer 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.

  Answer this question
QuestionAre 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.
Asked 5 years ago by goodluck.
- Answer 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.

This question was asked about the related product: Microsoft - Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PCs, and Cloud-Enabled Devices - White
- Answer Per the release announcement, it has the capability to use back paddles however the controller will not come with them. They will be sold separately or if you have accessories from the first Elite series two controller, you can use those accessories.

QuestionWhat's the difference between the 2 why is one cheaper than thr other? Are ranges the same?? Is reaction time with the joy sticks?
Asked 3 years ago by Midnight.
This question was asked about the related product: Microsoft - Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PCs, and Cloud-Enabled Devices - White
- Answer The difference in price is because this is the core. Does not include the paddles and extra joy sticks. Also no case, it's just the controller and a charging cable. I upgraded to this one because my previous elite RB was going out and I didn't need all the extras so I just put them on the new one.

QuestionHas anyone ordered through BestBuy and received a model number FST-00008? I've read online that BestBuy has been sending people the FST-00001, even though they specifically note the updated version. The FST-00001 was plagued with manufacturing issues.
