    Back paddles stopped working for both my elite controllers


    My back paddles were working fine on my elite controller then I got off and the next day when I got back on my back paddles stopped working and it got to a point where I just bought a new elite controller but now this new one has done the same thing and it’s really irritating and I’ve already checked for updates and that they are bound and when I tested to see if buttons were responding only the back paddles were not so please help

    :)

    Back paddles stopped working for both my elite controllers

    Hi Spo1ledw4ter!

    This is clearly not the situation I want you to be in. I would feel the same way if I were on your situation.

    Please try to power cycle your controller:
    Press and hold the Xbox button for 5-10 seconds, until the controller turns off.
    Wait a few seconds, then press and hold the Xbox button again to turn the controller back on.

    Have you also tried to restore your button mapping to default settings?

    Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    Under Profile & system, select Settings.
    Under Devices & connections, select Accessories.
    On the Xbox Wireless Controller screen, select Configure.
    Restore to default.
    Once restored, power cycle it again then remap it. You may try to press hard a little bit your paddles to see if they work if we put a small amount of pressure.

    If they're still not working, I am afraid you're gonna need to send it for a replacement. You can check your replacement options here https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/...

    Elite Series 2 Controller, Larger paddles

    This was my only complaint about this controller. Fortunately the paddles from my spare Elite 1 fit and work perfectly. I was hesitant at first as I discovered the joysticks weren't compatible from the elite 1 to the elite 2 but the paddles do work. I've
    been playing with the bigger paddles on my elite 2 since Thursday afternoon and I haven't noticed or had any issues.

    Xbox Elite 2 controller NOT working with new firmware update

    To be very, very clear, the problem is that the newest firmware updates to Xbox elite 2 controller has broken the functionality of the paddles. As of the latest firmware, the paddles are completely disabled when in default profile. The paddles used to work in default mode, and now they don't. Steam can corroborate this: last year Steam added functionality to customize the outputs of the elite controllers paddles, which means that the paddles used to output a unique signal instead on only emulating other controller buttons.

    A quick internet search reveals numerous accounts from users who had used steam to customize the paddle outputs, proving that the paddles used to work. You can also see a growing number of recent complaints from Elite controller users who are realizing that their paddle inputs are now broken. This is not an isolated occurrence, the elite controller was broken by the latest firmware updates, and people are realizing it.

    The changes made to the Xbox elite 2 Controller paddles in the latest firmware updates NEED TO BE REVERTED.
