That is an Elite Sequence 2. It’s close to not possible for the grips to peel off resulting from how they constructed it in comparison with the primary Elite. Additionally, that image with the damaged piece protruding on the backside clearly exhibits that somebody both tried to pry it open, or dropped it laborious.
Not like the primary Elite, the place the grips had been clipped and glued on the shell, the Sequence two grips are a part of the highest and backside shell. The shells are textured to look/really feel like that. You’ll be able to’t have them fall off like the primary Elite controller.
When you purchased this used, verify with the vendor. If it was new, you then both obtained a faulty product otherwise you’re not telling the total story.
