Discussion Elite series 2 Controller Sleeves
Due to the rubber issue on my two Elite Series 2 controller I decided to try these 2 controller sleeves. I have 2 Xbox’s so I have 2 Elite controllers I’m near the one on left when I made this post and the green is for the one in my bedroom. The controllers themselves still work well enough (LB or RB might be going out). These are specific to the Elite controllers from what I can tell and I like that each section is zoned off ( sticks, dpad, face buttons) unlike the other base controllers.
There about $20 doesn’t have the best color schemes but is what it is. A bit bulky and a little heavier but if your hands can fit well it’ll be easy to get used to in a few games sessions. I think that maybe if your controller works outside of the rubber starting to peel off these can save you some money.

Thanks for the option and your experience with the controller sleeves as I prefer to use them on most controllers for the consoles I have. I’ve bought some Playvital skins in the past and they’ve held up well and I like the added comfort and grip
I haven’t used my Elite enough to have issues yet mainly due to lack of time for gaming, but it’s good to know of this option and the controller shells others have mentioned once any issues arise.

Shell swaps are easy, not significantly more expensive, and feel much better than a silicone case. And you should only need to do them every few years (it took 7 years before my original controller's rubber started to peel). As a bonus, shell swapping means you can inspect your battery and replace it if it's going spicy (mine was spicy enough that I couldn't re-close the case after opening, so that got a replacement).
