ELITE SERIES 2 PEELING GRIPS.

When is the issue of PEELING GRIPS ON THE ELITE SERIES 2 CONTROLLER going to be addressed!

It's absolutely DISGRACEFUL!

This is my 2nd controller in less than two years with the EXACT same problem!

I know I'm not the first person to have this issue, but at £180 each, It's NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!!

I am currently on my 2nd elite. Due to the Grips peeling. part from the grips peeling i haven't had any other problems. I hope they fix this issue with the Elite 2.0

Hi Chris G, my name is Courtney and I would be happy to help.

I am sorry that you are going through this problem, and I am even more sorry for your bad experience with Microsoft, although you are right in what you say since you are not the only one who has reported this problem, believe me that Microsoft should be aware of this problem and perhaps can improve it in a moment future. Having said this, I would like to tell you that this is only a Microsoft public forum where we are players like you who help other users with basic problems, this means that we are not Microsoft employees.

Here in a post on Reddit, you can see that another user reported this same problem:

As a faithful Xbox player, this has also happened to me and I am patient to wait for an official statement from Microsoft (Xbox).

I hope you understand, I wish you good luck.

I havent had a problem with mine. The only drama i have faced is the grip peeling on the Elite controller. I am up to my 3rd atm because of the grip peeling but i could never not use the Elite.

Hi darrenmonk,,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums.

We won't be able to provide proof that the grips won't peel off as that would be impossible since everyone grips their controller differently, but all we can say is that the series 2 Elite controller was improved with every previous feature in mind and that
includes the rubberized grips, as they now wrap around all the way to the top of the controller.

There won't be any discounts for owning the original Elite controller.

You can read more about the new Elite controller from the following sites:

I have had an elite controller since they were released. I have gone through 2 due to the grips on the back peeling off. To me it all comes down to comfort and the triggers are in great spots. When i held the Razor controller it didn't feel right to me (either
because i'm use to the elite controller or just not feeling it).

My grips are starting to peel again on my 3rd controller but yep, i know what id be replacing it with. (another Elite)

Hope this helps
