Now the Xbox controllers are missing: delivery problems at Microsoft

Getting a console has been a challenge for the past two years. Either Xbox Series X/S and Playstation 5 were not available; or they were offered for sale by scalpers at inflated prices. And you just wanted to think that the situation will improve slightly if the next product gets it: Microsoft’s British subsidiary confirms that you are currently short on Xbox controllers. The gamepads are also considered to be the quasi-standard for the PC and are hard to come by in the UK. A sample in Germany shows that both the standard and the elite gamepad are still available from Amazon at the moment, but what is not can still be, because retailers like alternates, Caseking and Notebooks cheaper do not state a delivery date. You can still do that here and there 140 euro expensive elite controller get hold of

“We know that Xbox wireless controllers can be difficult to find at the moment due to supply shortages,” said a UK Microsoft spokesman VGC. “We are working with our manufacturing and retail partners as soon as possible to improve the situation. Please check with your local distributor for availability.” If you are in a hurry, the best way to get Xbox controllers in the UK at the moment is via the Design Lab, but you also have to pay the premium and waiting times of up to 4 weeks are also possible for the design pieces.

Microsoft didn’t want to say exactly why the controllers are scarce. Therefore, it is difficult to assess whether the problem can spread to mainland Europe. However, if the supplies are already stagnating in one of the Asian factories, it should only be a matter of time before the controllers become scarce here too. Noisy To report it is a supply chain issue. Alternatively, PC gamers can also use a Playstation dual shock controller.
