    Elite controller rubber grips peeling off


    The rubber on my elite controller is coming away. Looked everywhere and I can't find anywhere that sells or has stock of the back cover
    and the side grips. :-(

    Happy to pay for the parts as it's out of warentee if I could find somewhere that has any...... Does anyone know where I can get some?

    :)

    Xbox Elite Controller grips peeling

    Oh and the replacement panels don't fix when the rubber grips on the bottom of the controller start peeling. The Elite controller was a great idea, but poorly executed.

    Elite Controller Rubber Grips keep peeling off.

    I love my Elite controller, best accessory I ever bought function-wise BUT, as mentioned above, every few months the rubber grips start to detach. I can't re-seat them, perhaps because the rubber gets stretched out of shape. Spoke to fellow gamers, they
    have had the same problem. I do not abuse my controller, have never even dropped it - but I am tired of having to replace it and give retailers more money for extended warranties.

    At $200+ I expect a unit like this to be far more durable. Are you aware of this problem? Is a fix in the works? I have one I didn't have an extended warranty on I could send to you for R&D if you pick up the shipping/customs etc.

    Please Advise.

    Elite controller rubber grips peeling off

    peel them both off. It feels fine you'll forget about it inside 1 day. Microsoft doesnt care or theyd have done something about it as this problem happens to everyone. Ever notice you can buy an extended warranty for just about everything?
    Its cause they are confident it wont break. Notice theres no extended warranty on this junk, its cause they KNOW that they fall apart and it would cost to much giving almost everyone a second controller as everyone would send them back WHEN they break cause
    its not a question of 'IF'. Im a grown adult, I take excellent care of my stuff. My elite had problems inside 2 months and continue getting worse 10 months later. Dont buy the eliite controller, its not worth the money because they fall apart

    Elite Controller Going Bad

    The rubber part peeling off seems to be a common problem. :( I've seen 2 Elite's where the rubber came completely off and just fell off the controller within a few months. I got a regular controller through the Xbox Design Labs and have had it for years
    and it still works perfect (no rubber grips or anything on it).
