    I purchased an Astral Purple controller about a month ago, and it started having Bluetooth issues a few weeks in. I went through support and it was determined that the controller needed to be replaced, so a new one was sent to me. However, the controller sent is an Elite 2 that is missing it's joysticks, so I can't even use it if I wanted to. Support is ignoring me, so I'm not sure what to do at this point.

    :)

    I was sent the wrong controller as a replacement for my broken one. How do I get the correct one?

    I never sent anything in for repair, and I've only owned this controller for less than a month. I think you missed the part where I bought a regular Xbox controller, not an elite. I don't have joysticks, and I never sent in my original controller because they told me to keep it. I was told I would be sent the same model and color by support.

    you are not guaranteed to be returned any kind of special edition controller system you sent in for repair. They just sent you a refurbished one

    You were told to remove all of the accessories before you sent it in which is why you got back or controller without joystick. they only return the base device

    Hi, Avery! It is my pleasure to assist you with this today.

    Please know that this is a public Xbox community forum and we don't have access to the account or the previous order that you made. In this case, I would suggest trying these steps and see if you can reach the Xbox customer support for them to further assist and check this issue.

    Please go to https://support.xbox.com/en-US/contact-us

    Then click on "Contact us" > Hardware and network> Then choose Warranty, service and repair> Select Other device > Type Broken controller> Click Next> Click on See contact options> Select from there, it should show you the option to chat with them.

    Let me know if that works. Thank you!

    Xbox one elite controller not repaired?

    I think this would just be a random occurrence. Annoying, but it happens. It may be something to do with how these controllers are repaired and returned, as I was sent a completely broken one at first, and got sent a replacement that is slightly faulty.
    I haven't seen this with other products, however.
