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 Mike Zeigler

Top notch fit and finish. The front panel fits very well and is easy to assemble. It says it doesn't come with installation tools but mine did. I only found out about this after I bought a tool kit for it, but it doesn't matter as the tool kit came with other useful items. The hardest part of installing the new faceplate was removing the handle covers. They snap into place and can be removed with difficulty. The tool kit I purchased had plastic removal tools that were supposed to help remove these parts, but I found them ineffective. The easiest way to remove them is to stick your nails into the seam on the side of the controller and gently pry the pieces off. Once that's done it's as simple as 5 screws, one under a sticker in the battery compartment and removing the bezel. This faceplate has two disadvantages that I have found. 1. The frame seems to be a little thicker, the only place I've found a problem is with the profile selector switch. It's harder to choose between profiles because the switch doesn't protrude that far from the front of the controller.2. The rub rings, which snap onto the bezel to be rubbed with chopsticks, are of poor quality. There was a bulge on my left joystick that you could feel when you swiped the joystick over it. The one on the left made a squeaky noise whenever a thumb was pressed against it. The solution to this problem was very simple. I removed the faceplate and changed the rings to regular ones. The rings are held in place by clips, making them easy to remove and swap out. This solved all my ring problems.
