    Xbox Elite 2 Controller grip peeling off


    My Elite 2 grip is peeling off, just like my original Elite controller grip. Is there an official fix or repair option? If not, I will not be purchasing another MS Xbox brand controller. Getting burnt twice is my limit after spending over $500 on two controllers. Shame on me, I guess. Any guidance on a 3rd party, non-microsoft xbox controller is appreciated.

    :)

    Controllers - Elite, Scuff or Razor? - updated 3rd June

    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

    Let's Talk About Controllers

    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.

    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).

    Xbox elite 1 issues with rubber

    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:
