Be Able to Map a Xbox one Elite Controller button also to a keyboard key with Xbox Accessories ...

Hi Baptiste,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. You can look over the how to

configure the elite controller. There is no mention of mapping keyboard keys to the controller.

Thanks,

Brad

Hi ChocoBear, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

You should be able to do it.

Please, follow these steps:

Open the Xbox Accessories app.

Scroll to your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 and select Configure.

Select a profile to adjust or create a new one.

Select the Edit button and in the Mapping tab select the icon or letter for the button or input you’d like to change.

Select Primary and in the pop-up menu select the Key tab.

In this menu you can remap a single keyboard key with as many of the listed modifier keys as you want. Use Assign a key to choose the keyboard key you want mapped to the controller button or input and then select as many of the modifier key checkboxes as desired for the following: Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Win.

I hope this helps resolve your query.

Being on PC, I have this issue as well. There is no way to map "take a screen shot" or "Start/stop Recording" to the Elite controller through the Xbox Game Bar, or Accessories App....the button mapping works fine on the accessories app, but the Game Bar application does not recognize the button inputs from the controller when attempting to assign a short cut. Short cuts must be assigned via Key Board currently, and the short cuts do not translate over IE: 'Shift - A' on the key board is not the equivalent of 'Shift-A' on the controller. To use the screenshot or recording feature on PC, I currently have quickly hit the short cut on the keyboard, then get back to the controller...very inefficient.

Hi there!

All you need to do is head to the Xbox Accessories app ("My Games and Apps" > "Xbox Accessories App") and select "configure". There you should be able to re-map the buttons including the paddles on the rear of the Xbox One Elite controller.

I hope this helps,

Regards,
