Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Enhance Your Xbox One Elite Controller with eXtremeRate Gray Rubberized Side Rails and Handle Grips - Complete Replacement Kit (Model 1698) by Genene Locson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The ease of installation makes the lack of instructions forgivable as it's the best (and only real) solution.

The lack of instructions is only acceptable because this product is identical to the manufacturer's product and is the best (and for people who need an exact replacement, the only) solution for removing handles on an Elite controller is. Although the installation is very simple, it can be confusing at first. My recommended instructions are: Removal: Use your fingernail to remove the old panel (or pry it off with a butter knife if your nails are too short). It will take a little effort, but don't worry about breaking anything - it's designed to be detachable like the other sticks/paddles/parts of the controller. However, if you're using a knife, stay away from the trigger as you don't want to accidentally damage the delicate electronics inside. Installation: The new panel should click into place very easily and without any effort. If not, you may have older Elite controllers. IT'S GOOD. Compare the new panel to the old one you removed. The new one has two small clips (maybe just a bulge) that the old one doesn't have. There will also be no place to connect these clips to the controller. These two clips are in a circle with a small indentation next to two large circles that protrude and fit into your controller. Remove these two clips by pinching and twisting them with your fingers. No matter what type of controller you have, the panel is now easy and effortless to install by simply snapping it into place.
