Does the Xbox elite series 2 controller come with the paddles as stock if I’m purchasing...

Each Elite controller series 2 comes with 1 set of paddles. You can order replacement paddles, thumbsticks etc.

Series 1 paddles, thumbsticks is not compatible with series 2.

If all of the series X controllers act like the elite series 2 just without the paddles that would be perfect but i’m not sure what the likelihood of that happening would be.

Hello DavidLindsey5,

Happy Holidays!

Welcome to Xbox Community Forums. We appreciate for sharing your concern with us and we hope that you are doing well today.

As per description, you are inquiring if paddles on the Xbox Elite 2 controller have default settings and if they already mapped to a button out of the box.

Here's what we got from our research.

No, the Elite Series 2 controller does not come with paddles. Paddles are an optional extra that can be purchased separately. What does the button in the middle of the Elite Series 2 controller do? The button in the middle of the Elite Series 2 controller can be used to change the controller’s profiles.

It can be configured, check on this link. Configure your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 | Xbox Support.

We also provided you some features of the controller. Xbox Elite Wireless Controller features | Xbox Support

We hope it worked out well for you. If not, please reply back to this forum to let us know so we could find other options to resolve the problem.



We will be glad to follow up and help you.

Sincerely,

Do you own the scuf paddles too? Do you find it much much easier to use than either the seires 1 / 2 paddles?

I know people will say it’s personal preference, but to me it’s not that simple. The scuf paddles are so natural to me that I had zero learning curve when I first put it on 2 years ago. I’m so glad I bought it while it was still available. Everything on
Scuf’s website for the Elite controller 1 is now out of stock so I’m kind of worried that they are not making anything for any elite controller anymore.

Hello, IOTA117. I'm Arturo, a community user like you, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

The price of £125 you see it's only for the controller, without the paddles. The paddles, thumbstick + D-pad pack and carrying case + charging dock + USB cable count as accessories or extra add-ons that require additional payment. So, if you pay £125 you will receive only the controller.

In case you're interested in getting everything, you may want to consider getting the regular Elite Series 2 controller, it's listed for £149

However, if having a custom design is a must-have for you, you can also try choosing the Elite package bundle on the Design Lab page, for a total of £174.99.

I hope you find this answer helpful to your inquiry. However, I'll remain attentive to any other one you may have.

Regards,

Arturo.
