Review on Enhanced Rubberized Grip Parts for Elite Controller (Model 1698) – Complete Repair Accessories Kit by Cameron Chandra

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not the best grip replacement, but they do the job.

available These replacement pads help repair controllers that are frequently experiencing the dreaded rubber peeling issue on the Xbox Elite V1 Controller. I have used a number of different replacement parts for this purpose and while they serve as replacement rubber they have some notable differences which may make them suitable for your needs. They fit the controller a little wider than the factory parts. They stick out 1/3mm more than they should, and you can feel the difference in the slight sharp edge that causes them not to sit flush with the top half of the controller housing - which might bother some gamers. Another difference is that the plastic parts aren't rubberized like the OEM parts or some of the other aftermarket parts I've gotten here at Revain. They become smoother and matte instead of stubborn. This isn't an extreme deal breaker, but I would have preferred it to be more accurate to the originals. Overall they do the job but they aren't as good as the originals or upgraded like some of the replacement grips I've bought. Depending on the cost, they may be a better fit for your needs, or you may opt for a more accurate part instead.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
