Would this be okay to sand down and custom paint? Looking for something other than the normal elite faceplate

No. You wouldn't want to sand this down, this is already custom painted with something called soft touch - best coating out there. Think tacky for grip but feels like velvet.

Is it possible to buy the white faceplate with white accent rings like on the extremerate website?

That depends on what the seller is offering.

Does this fit right on the elite 2 ?

Yes, this is for Xbox One Elite Series 2 Controller Model 1797.

The little plastic piece broke so easily do you have any other suggestions? -.-

If you’re talking about the plate removal tool I usually just use a butter knife or the lever of a nail clipper. Anything really that can get in there

Fantastic

This front face for my xbox elite series 2 controller is a really fantastic item. It feels great with a soft feel to it and looks like an original item too. Easy to fit, very quick to install it

Get yours today

I wanted to give this 5 star because the color is a stunning red just as shown in the photos. I had no issues getting it to click together or even installing it where in the past some replacements have needed some additional adjustments where buttons hole were just not wide enough to avoid buttons getting stuck in. Not the case with, well this case. The issue i did find was the edges were extremely sharp and whilst sliding it out of the packaging it gave me a slight paper cut sized cut. The edges had no been sanded or smoothed down to avoid this but this could have been a one in a million production mishap. I just can not give it 5 stars because of that and that alone. I will say however it is tough. I have dropped the controller and even had my cats knock it of my desk multiple times and it shows no signs of chips or scratches. It has lost some color over time but this is expected.

Love it

The texture feels really nice and smooth. Love the colour too.Getting the original face plate is the most difficult part and I needed more than the one tool provided but luckily I had another. Once the hard part is over though the replacement of the new plates is really easy. Fits on really easy.

Didn't fit but great colour and service

The shell didn't fit my controller even after I had tried a replacement. The colour looks great and the customer service was quick and helpful!

Good Replacement

This is a good replacement for your series 2 controller fits great, plastic clips are more fragile than the original if you have to remove it again but still works great with a couple of broken clips, 4 stars due to the removal tool being easy to damage making removal of the face plate hard
