But, while you can easily glide across the surface, when you actually hold it as if to play, there is definitely a grip to it. - It's a LOT cheaper than buying a new controller, especially if yours works fine. - The purple/blue chameleon also perfectly matches the "PowerA Fusion Wired Stereo Gaming Headset with Mic" of the Cosmos Nebula color. Cons: - If you have never tried to remove the faceplate on your factory controller, WATCH THE VIDEOS - not just the first one that pops up in the youtube search mentioned in the listing, but also the next one where the gentleman swaps his factory plate for a woodgrained one (that video was more helpful). Removing the side grips from your old one will be the hardest part of the process. No reason to ding stars from this product because my factory controller was built to not come apart easily, but it was a pain. - Now, once you get to the point of having your old face plate off - the installation of the new one is a breeze. DO pay attention that you get it lined up right before screwing it on (if the edges aren't lined up perfectly, it will feel like it doesn't fit). You should also note that the screws will feel tight as you reassemble due to the new plate never having screws in it. Side notes: - Yes, it is a face plate, not a skin, not a snap over style cover, it is a replacement face plate that requires you to manhandle and disassemble your controller. Doing so is obviously at your own risk, and if you're a kid, you should probably ask your grown up. - It is also NOT a whole controller. It very very clearly says this. (Seriously, there is a bad review because someone trusted a 12 year old who claimed they found a cheap controller, and now the parent is mad that it was just the face plate, so they left a bad review... That is not how reviews work.) Review: Super shiny - Was easy to install, looks really good with either the white or black backing. Wish it came eith a backing for it to match. ## Features - Compatibility Model: Ultra fits for Xbox One X & Xbox One S controller (Model 1708); Not compatible with Xbox One Elite controller & Standard Xbox One Controller and Xbox Series X & S Controller. Check the second picture of the listing before purchase - Fit Perfectly: Fit the best by far; Completely fits flush on all side; Sit properly on all the clips - Package Includes: 1* Faceplate shell; 1* T8H screwdriver; 1*Pry tool; 5* screws. (IMPORTANT: The controller and other parts are not included.) - Installation Skills Required: Required customers to take apart the controller to install this front housing shell; Required customers handy with controller modifications; Get installation video guide by searching "Extremerate Replace Faceplate for Xbox One S/X Controller" on Youtube - Personalized Feature: The metallic chrome shiny color looks amazing; Would be awesome if you combine it with aluminum sticks and buttons. ( You can find these metal buttons in our store) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0746GKLF3 | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,657 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #43 in Xbox One Faceplates, Protectors & Skins #381 in Xbox Accessories #581 in Xbox Series X & S Accessories | | Brand | eXtremeRate | | Color | Chrome Gold | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (3,381) | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Finish | Glossy | | Hardware Platform | xbox_one | | Item Dimensions W x H | 6.3"W x 3.54"H | | Manufacturer | Extremerate | ## Product Details - **Brand:** eXtremeRate - **Color:** Chrome Gold - **Finish Type:** Glossy - **Hardware Platform:** xbox_one - **Material:** Plastic ## Images ![Chrome Gold Front Housing Shell Faceplate for Xbox One S & Xbox One X Controller (Model 1708) - Controller NOT Included - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xFt1Dg+iL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this faceplate compatible with the Xbox Series X & S Controller?** A: No, it is not compatible.

Wish it came eith a backing for it to match. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s perfect! *by A***D on May 24, 2019* The product fits perfectly on the remote. I love the color of it and it’s smooth to the touch. It’s everything I wanted! Although taking it apart was a struggle, I did manage though. I ended up breaking a little clip on the back on the side panels so now it’s a little lose but it holds. If you’re okay with possible breaking your controller, then go for it! I honestly don’t regret it, it looks great! ## Frequently Bought Together - eXtremeRate Chrome Gold Front Housing Shell Faceplate for Xbox One S & Xbox One X Controller (Model 1708) - Controller NOT Included - Charger for Xbox One Controller Battery Pack with 4x4080mWh USB C Xbox Rechargeable Battery Pack Series X|S, One S/One X/Elite Controller Charger Station Accessories 1700mAh --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/44929948-chrome-gold-front-housing-shell-faceplate-for-xbox-one-s](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/44929948-chrome-gold-front-housing-shell-faceplate-for-xbox-one-s) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
