Review on 🎮 Enhance Your Gaming Experience: eXtremeRate Soft Touch Grip Blue Front Housing Shell Faceplate for Xbox One Elite Controller Model 1698 + Thumbstick Accent Rings (Controller NOT Included) by Eric Pruett

Easy to install, supplied with extra screws and required screwdriver although I didn't need them. The hardest part was getting the side handles off. I know better, but for those of you who don't know, DO NOT use a metal tool to remove them. Use something plastic that won't scratch or warp them. The reason they are so hard to unclip is because there is double sided tape in some places, the clips won't give you that much trouble and you won't rip when you pull the tape up! The bezel has a slightly different feel to the old black, but it's still very luxurious and soft plastic, and doesn't detract from the tactile experience in any way. The color is beautiful and the softness of the plastic gives it an ethereal glow, just like the pictures on the web. It looks the same as on the Amazon page. I saw at least one reviewer mention that there was some kind of "gap" between the bumpers and the fascia, so I took a close look at how it looked before and after the change. I can say with confidence that it is no more than with a standard faceplate. Maybe this guy was just unlucky, maybe he bought it from another seller, or maybe he didn't screw the screws in tight enough (be careful when tightening though, I broke enough holes for the controller screws, and you don't want to EDIT: I wipe down my controllers with rubbing alcohol fairly regularly just to keep them feeling new in my hands and while doing this routine maintenance on this faceplate the clear coat started to peel off now I won't be taking stars off of it because it not so reasonable for me to expect a finish this good to survive my 90% alcohol cleaning but it's something to keep in mind if you clean your controllers like I do I've ordered another one and will consume 70% much more gently when replacing.
