This is an absolute joke. I tried calling about mine because my RB button will not register. I literally had 60 hours on in before i started having problems. It took so much to convince my wife i needed one lol. Then they tell me there is nothing they can do. Apple sent me a new iphone and it was 14 months old!!!! This is taking customers for granted!! Im a loyal xbox supporter and i feel cheated. I spend so much money on xbox live and they could really care less. I know this will not make a difference but i felt i should add to the thread. Ps while writing this i noticed my grip is coming loose.
Xbox One Elite Wireless Controller Grips Falling Off
*15AUG2017*UPDATE: After receiving the promised "replacement controller" and asking if it was just the case for the controller or the case and the controller and being told that it was both. I found out the representative Len A. flat out lied to me about what I was getting, all to get a better survey, since all that I got, was the carrying case and nothing else. I talked to another agent after this, and they proceeded to try and go through everything again, and acted as if the prior agent was not in the wrong for lying to a customer. As it is, I still have my shoddy "Elite" controller that is extremely uncomfortable to hold since it is all bumpy from the expanded silicone.
*04AUG2017*UPDATE: I have since reached out to Microsoft support through the link provided below, and was told I would get a replacement controller. However, I am on my second Elite Controller at this point and it had the same issues after about 6 months of use. This is the one that I am currently awaiting the replacement, and hopefully the grips are not the same material!
I have had the Xbox One Elite Controller for only 6 months, and the grips have all but come off completely. There are no replacement parts for the grips on the controller, and according to your Support, my solution is to buy another controller... NO. I am also being told that my controller is out of warranty, since it is past 90 days, well isn't that just lovely, that you get to profit with a issue that is forcing others to buy another controller as the solution. I have been a supporter of Microsoft for quite some time, and I would understand the issue of the warranty, had it not been part of the controller that CANNOT be replaced. All I am asking for, is some new grips to adhere to the controller, or to send it in and get a replacement, of just the grips I don't care about getting a whole new controller to replace the grips... this is insanely shortsighted on Microsoft's part to have a grip that expands outside of the slot/groove for them. I have also included pictures to show off how the grips are extending past the grooves, and there is no way to "push" them back inside.

2018-06-10T01:45:42+00:00 I have the same issue except I've had my elite contrcontr for a little over a year and a half. The problem started out rather minute and has then proceeded to get worse and worse each day i use the controller. The fact that so many people are consitently having this issue is absolutely unacceptable. Yes, I get that most cases it is out of warranty, but this should not have to be an issue when you are spending $150 on a controller. I have always been a fan of Microsoft, but this is seriously outrageous. Microsoft, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.
-Sincerely a disgruntled customer.

2018-06-11T18:14:42+00:00 I'm having the exact same problem with my elite controller falling off on both side. Very annoying with the bumpy grip while playing. Any news from Microsoft about this issue? Been a loyal xbox fan for more than 10 years, just looking for some answer on this regards.

I kinda have a solution but it only solves half the problem. You can get the outer grip panels online from ebay or amazon but I haven't found the inner grips
