Unboxing : Scuf Gaming X1 Elite Controller Grip Handles and Thumbsticks
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Unboxing and install of the X1 Elite controller upgrade. The Xbox One Elite Controller is known to have some defective areas, specifically in the grip handle. This is a great option for replacing your grips and upgrading your thumbsitcks
*Xbox Elite Controller warranty is only 90 days. Extended warranty is highly encouraged due to some wear and tear items failing. (this does not affect everyone but it does seem to be more common than you'd expect)

This video looks way more natural viewed upside down.
FUNKOfilms
Yes
was our first top down view but we've improved on this greatly with all of our current vids. Thanks appreciate the feedback!
Thank you!
FUNKOfilms OMG YOU ARE SO RIGHT
FUNKOfilms yeah that’s how I was watching it. I couldn’t possibly watch it like that.
have to say, after contacting Microsoft; if you haven't yet don't bother! They will tell you to buy a new one because of the crappy rubber. Thank you for the video explaining the fitment of the Scuf replacements. Really helped solve my problem.
Jacob Zotta just called Microsoft and they're sending me a new Elite controller no problems at all... And apparently I get to keep the one that's defective sooooo... yea... I might buy these grips for the defective one!
Big Ron what did you say to them and was it in warranty? Also what country
@@bigxcon what did you tell them?
@@Horizon301. only my Xbox One X was under warranty and I told them my situation that my grips are falling apart and my controller thumbsticks were loose.
@@Horizon301. U.S.
I wish they still made these kits like the game themed paddles
These grips feel much better than factory , spot on unboxing review.
Agreed this is a horrible angle. But thanks for the video :)
Great video. In under a year my left side grip started to peel. I used the best buy warranty , got another, paid 20 bucks again for another warranty, second controller did same thing again in under a year. So I ordered these. It gets old paying 20 bucks everytime this happens and having to go through the return process. I didnt go the glue route because the rubber seems a little expanded so it wont sit right.
Y’all gotta watch this video upside down.. thank me later dummy 😂
2:28 they are called concave and domed
You are awesome for showing this. Thanks!
The scuf grips on the back are great and haven't given me any problems but the thumbstick after about 2 months wear down and tear I went through all 6 sticks in 6 months and bought another set and lasted the same so for long term default sticks are best
agreed, we did a follow up and the sticks have been my biggest complaint. They actually tear through the metal stick.
Thank you for the video, was useful :)
You’re welcome!
My grips came off too, i just decided to buy a new elite from the scuf website since mine was a few years old anyway. You can just customize it and have them put their grips on it, so im giving that a try. One thing to note is that the scuf elite from their website, wont come with all the extra sticks and such that the microsoft elite comes with. I have my original elite, so i can swap out the sticks if i dont like the ones the new one comes with...
Great review Bert
I loved the scuff. But the soft stuff on the thumb sticks basically mushed and came off into a sticky mess after a few months
hi Neil, we ran into the same issue and mentioned it in our long term review. Sadly the best part of the pack is just the rear grips.
The Xbox elite controller. It’s not just a $149 investment. Lol.
Just to let you know, the standard warranty on accessories (per xbox support) was 90 days. Unless that is wrong...my grips are coming off after only 7 months and I'm probably going to get these grips instead of trying to deal with Microsoft.
Hey Joshua, thanks for the comment. It appears that I had gotten support at the Microsoft store and got some better treatment from the staff there. One of the editors here literally took their controller in and it was replaced with no questions asked and it appears he got the extended warranty. I'll correct to the description.
I would also highly suggest going with the grips over Microsoft replacements from a comfort and building quality standpoint alone. They also come in different colors. (keep in mind this is subjective and we are not getting paid from Scuff in any form)
Seasoned Gaming my controller always feels sweaty Evan when I just start gaming and I always wash my hands before it’s so annoying
Joshua Ryder even my $20 toaster has 1 year warranty.I won't buy another Elite.
I sent my elite off to microsoft a week or so ago bc of stick drift and I am recieving a replacement from them withing the next 2 days... I bought it from Cex mid last year looooool
@@tomasmuller8006 what is stick drift?
It's much better to remove the grip from an xbox controller without any tools. Pull the trigger all the way and then reach under it with your thumb and forefinger to pull the piece off and away from the controller. This will help you avoid marking up the controller shell.
Just ordered a set after my replacement OG grips have begun to fail. Also, half price right now on Scuf's site so couldn't say no.
The thumb sticks look slippery. The originals have rough sides which one do u think is best now?
Hi there, the sticks are actually very grippy and not slippery. To this day they still stick well. Depending on game type the original sticks tend to destroy thumbs. We did a long term review on the Scuf kit. Good to know their durability as well. Review is at the start so worth watching.

What if the other rubber parts come off
Where can i get one of these cant find them anywhere?
Do you need a elite controller to put those on or can you use any type of controller ?
What angle is this???? I can’t watch this.
In the video you actually remove the entire side of the controller, but I just have my grip off and not the upper part, will this work?
Does Xbox one elite controller parts work on the scuff series 1 elite controller???
Was it tough to get the rubber to align when you glued the rubber?
it can be because a lot of time when it becomes detached it can stretch. Try to glue sooner than later or you'll need to replace the piece. we did a video on the DIY for it.
Can you send me the link for these grips thanks
My grips just started to come off so im buying those grip replacements from scuf ...
Great! Make sure to view our long term review for the Scuf kit to see if their durability will affect you. Also, make sure to order from Scuf directly, a number of people have mentioned that Amazon has sellers that are inflating the kits value past $50. They should retail for $30, and you can find them on sale for $25 many times.
And shipping is only two bucks.
My tool broke too, what is the name of the thing he's using so I can buy it on Amazon?
here you go, this is a version of what I own and can be had for $5. Great if you're taking apart controllers in general
a.co/iZyE7jK
Bert Saenz you mean $7.. are you blind?
The scuf grips are good, but the thumbsticks don't last long at all
Are they flexible
there is just 1 grip in it. so i have to order 2 of them for both sides ?!
you should have received 2 grips. One is on the display of the box and the other is in the little box that has the rest of the kit inside. If you only received one, I'd contact the retailer or seller you bought it from.
i didnt order it yet just wanted to know. so thanks
Great video!
Which scuf thumbsticks are best for shooters like call of duty??
this is more of a personal taste sort of a answer but the typical preferred layout is the concave taller stick on the right joystick and convex mid to shorter stick on the left stick. The longer stick gives more sensitivity when aiming which is said to increase reflex time. That being said everyone likes something different.
Nice thanks.
I bought some scuf grips but they don't stay on the controller. The scuf grips that I bought come off easy.
sorry to hear that. There are clips on all 4 corners of each grip. Make sure they are still intact. If you're still having issues I would reach out to Scuf for a refund or replacement. Mine have been rock solid and still loving them.
Will that void my warranty?
Why does scuf no longer have Xbox one controllers
hi Esteban, not really sure what you mean. Scuf carries a number of full Scuf x1 controllers and also kits for the elite.
scufgaming.com/scuf-forza-elite-controller
So it just clicks in... That's so much better because my elite controllers normal grips are falling off...
Can you put scuff stuff on normal controllers
Sadly no, these are designed solely for the Elite Controller.
Seasoned Gaming dang
If only I could find it on Amazon Canada...
I didn't get inatructions
How long did it take to get to ur house
item was purchased off Amazon with their 2 day shipping
What kind of watch do you have? Let me know. 🌿
Great video but you have to fix your camera angle dude!
been mentioned a number of times in the comments below. This was our first attempt in filming from this angle and we've attempted to remedy this since August of 2017. Thanks for the feedback!
Do you have to by the other on or does it come with it
it's included in the box. The window on the box is to show an example of what it looks like. The other is included in a small box inside with the pry tool.
Thx man , sorry for late response though
The white one is made better. I love mine
Can you map the paddles on the scuf one elite to the dpad directions? I havent been able to find this anywhere and I want to know if I can map one of the paddles to dpad(up) before I buy one. I'd appreciate if you could let me know thanks.
Hi there. Keep in mind that this is an enhancement to the MS Xbox One Elite Controller, not a new controller. Mapping remains the same with the MS mapping app found on the dashboard. We can check that for you, but I believe you can map just about anything to anywhere.
I am able to confirm that the d-pad standard options are able to be mapped to other buttons. This will be access through the xbox app.
I need to replace all 4 the rubber grips. Now what???
Brakkeleer Thuis I have no clue, the inner ones are part of the actual casing so like me we are screwed
Microsoft made their warranty for the Xbox Elite Controller 1 month Only, I got mine in early December 2016 and the controller had many issues including the grips alone with the sticks being loose. Took it in Feb 2016 and they refused to do anything..
Sorry but we are unaware of such practices. The official warranty from MS on all controllers is 90 days. They have however been giving goodwill replacements and fixes for a lot of these, per social media.
Outside of the standard 90 day warranty I can offer much firm advice though. I'm not sure where you "took it" but the proper place to start would be MS Support, as retailers outside of MS Store will not offer such support on a product outside of their respective return policy
Sick N Sane I've been using the same Elite controller for 3 years, and it finally broke. I called them, filed a hardware complaint and they put me under a courtesy replacement, all I had to do was pay shipping. I would advise calling them again
My second one was most certainly not in the box.
I would contact your retailer as that is not normal. We've ordered 3 sets and have not had any missing items.
Has anyone tried to put the grips of a normal controller on a elite controller?, I tried and there a slight differences between them mainly one of the nails is on a different position so you can't just put it in, but I was wondering if just by removing that nail it could fit or there is more things that will get in the way? or is there another brand that sells only the grips? because I don't want to spend $30 on them and I don't like the rugged look
hi Bernardo. We did another video on updating controller with other grips and they can be had relatively cheap (link below) in video description all parts are shared. If you're looking for the Scuf like grips you won't find the same, but the soft touch feel goes a long way. You can also pick up just replacement OEM Elite grips for less than $5 USD. Gaming Cobra is a good place to find parts, only downside is that they ship from China so you'll need to be patient on shipping
ua-cam.com/video/CMFdAg234tU/v-deo.html
Thanks for the answer, where can I find the OEM Elite grips? I have searched everywhere and all the grips are for the regular controller or the new S/X, for the Elite I have found every single replacement part except for the grips, I think I'll go for a DIY repair or a full silicon cover that goes all around the controller
I found them off of eBay. They can be hard to find from time to time though
Do those grips have trigger stops
the trigger stops are built into the controller, not the grips.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION. If you purchased this controller in the EU then under EU law, consumers are offered a two year guarantee in which sellers must repair or replace a faulty or not-fit-for-purpose item, but this right is trumped by the six-year warranty in the UK's own legislation. The right applies to any goods sold in the UK, so online retailers must also comply. So don't be afraid of telling Microsoft that and demand a replacement.
So good
So if u want to pay over 200 dollars for a controller buy the scuff add on...
But not for me....i would buy a used ps4 for that money...
Still want a elite controller tho" but 150 euro"s is more than enough
27$ on Amazon? It’s almost 50$!
this has been mentioned a number of times in our comments section. Make sure you are looking for a seller that is selling them for MSRP OR go to Scuf's site directly. You should not be paying $50 for these.
Sounds like a good product but it’s too expensive i mean 30 bucks for that I’d pay at most 20 for that
Watched this one year later grips are now 65$ on amazon lmao
those are not being sold by Scuf and a 3rd party instead. Go to Scuf gaming and they are still at the retail price.
They are $15 on scuff website
You on the scuf nob bud, those sticks do NOT grip better, like every other analog you slowly slip off of it but those teeth grab your fingerprint there so good.
So if you'll make that up "I like these more" than I doubt the grips are any better. Just glue the rubber back on it's easy af.
GrimSamuraiCDXX idk I've had my scuf elite for about a year and the grips are way better on scuf's side for the thunbsticks and the backing my left stick is the original elite style and has work down in grip and lost it's grip a substantial amount
Biggest problem you have with this stuff is scuff equipment is really poor quality and the sticks will be fucked before the year is up. I've had my elite controller since the day it came out and my rubber is just now starting to come away but I will never get anything scuff, I'll just get me Xbox ones
Beware your almost $200.00 controler with tax will fall apart. Thanks Microsoft for your top of the line product.
Scuf actually made the XBOX Elite Controller for Microsoft.
DoS Gaming Network exactly, my personal choice would be a Scuf because they use better modules in the sticks and Microsoft uses cheaper components in their products
This dude said flat and round thumbs ticks lmao it's called concave and domed
my apologies the phrasing wasn't correct, hope you found the video informative otherwise.
Leed Gaming your head is fucking concaved
Concave & Convex *
Leed Gaming but you understood what he meant right?
Concave and concove lmao know your facts before you judge otherd dude
Did you just say scuf has less customization? Lol scuf has a shit ton of things you can customize it with
Guerilla glue. It's activated buy water works for me.
Please send me one
Terrible angle. Almost made it too hard to watch.
Regalame uno :v
Scuff is overpriced cheaply made crap. I bet you will have to replace that in less time you had to replace the original grips. Anyway good luck
We have linked our long term review to this video. The grips that come with the Scuf kit do not affect the failure point in the Elite Controllers, which is actually the Elite Rear Shell. The rear grips have actually been amazing, it's the joysticks that Scuf needs to work on from a durability standpoint.
@@SeasonedGaming that's good to know but dont you think that is a little to much money for something you could live without . The controller it self is only $140 but these guys are charging $40 or more just for a piece of the damm thing lol
@@SeasonedGaming I mean $50 wow !!!
@@da1bearsfan they are $30 from Scuf. In our long term review we mention that if the rear grips are worth the $30 great, but otherwise they are a pass due to joystick durability issues.

Fucking grips
Trash angle
Appreciate the candid feedback and it's been mentioned a number of times in the comments. This was our first attempt with the camera and it didn't work as well as had hoped. We have not recorded one in such a manner since. Hopefully you found the free content useful though
Get to the point please
Do they work with the razer controller?
they do not, these are designed solely for the MS Elite Controller
Oke
Do the grips have trigger stops
They do not. These are simply grips and thumbsticks
