You can try to peal it up and put a spot of crazy glue but, truth, I ran into the same issue, tried the glue and one spot was great, then other not so good. Went on Amazon did a search for replacement faceplates for the elite 2, like $15-20, even custom colors. This is the one I ordered. Amazon.com:

Railgun Appreciation Post

Oh, I feel that! I used the original Xbox Elite controller for years with no issues. When I upgraded to the Elite 2.0 though, it was a waste of money. Defective RB out of the box twice, and very noticeable stick drift out of the box as well. Ended up grabbing that Razer Wolverine on sale for $80 (no

Shoud I change my Elite Series 2 for the new Steam Controller?

The elite series 2 is also meant for PC gaming. If it still works well, no missed presses or double-presses like mine has developed, continue using it. And since the elite is an xbox controller with xinput, it is far more directly compatible with games than the steam controller.

Negative Steam Controller Review

Good take and I agree. The first controllers I bought were agonizing. I had been using MnK for almost 30 years and my history with controllers was basically Nintendo until the the GameCube. Sure, I played PS3 and PS4 here and there and even owned both. But nothing ever would get me to like controlle

Debating a PS5

Because most here are Sony ponnies (sorry not sorry). One can say my white controller is a lemon, but my black too? They are both starting to make funny squeaky noises on the sticks lol. And having two controllers is away of life on PS, one for charging and one to play... Because they have like 8 ho

Elite Controller Should Be Standard on Series X

The blue Xbox one wireless controller I got on Black Friday @Walmart several years ago outlived all 3 series x controllers and 1 elite series 2. MS knows how to make durable controllers. They just realized they don’t have to so that you buy a new one more often.

Controller, pro or after market controller or keyboard and mouse.

Ive tried highend KbM as well as the dual sense edge controller and the xbox elite series 2. I havent trued aftermarket but my suggestion is to go with the dualsense edge. I wouldnt recommend KbM on bo7 or bo6. The only recent cod that KbM was good on was mw3. Bo6 and 7 movement is just too much for
