    Xbox Elite 2 Controller - Sticky Grips


    I just purchased a new Xbox Elite 2 controller and the rubberized grips are incredibly sticky. I attempted to wipe them down with a damp cloth, but that had no real effect.

    Is this normal for these controllers or did I get a bad controller?

    Is there an approved method for removing the stickiness without damaging the material?

    As additional info, when I opened the box (fully sealed), the right side of the controller was open. I was able to snap the top and bottom together fairly easily and there haven't seemed to be any additional issues with use.

    :)

    Hi Shadale, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    No, this is not normal.

    I recommend you contact the store and ask for a return/trade.

    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:

    Elite Series 2

    There have been many issues with the Original Xbox Elite Controller Series 2. Peeling grips, sticky "A" button, and faulty bumper buttons were among the common issues at launch. Microsoft appears to have fixed the issues with the Series 2.

    If your controller is under warranty, then repairs are free. If your controller is out of warranty, then you'll be charged a repair fee.
