Elite 2 controller disconnects if you move your hands. What paddled controller should I get?

It is a very good controller once you get use to it what i tried first was just using 2 paddles until i got to grips with using paddles then moved on to using all 4.

I can confirm that the Xbox Elite 2 controller has issues with conducting electricity through the paddles.

I am getting shocked as well.

The Xbox Elite 2 controller needs to be recalled immediately.

Hey ChampThomas,

When it comes in i would first check that everything that should be included with the controller comes in:

• Xbox Elite Wireless Controller
• Carrying case
• Set of 4 paddles
• Set of 6 thumbsticks: standard (2), tall (2), and domed (2)
• Set of 2 D-pads: faceted and standard
• USB cable
• AA batteries

The official microsoft site for the elite controller is https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/controllers/elite-wireless-controller and
has some really good images for you to at least visually compare to see if it is the real deal.

I know that on my controller it feels heavier than a regular controller and a dead give-away is that when it is paired with the Xbox your console will recognize it as an elite controller and let you customize the button mapping (including the fancy paddle
buttons on the elite) when you open the Xbox Accessories app.

Hey I have got an Elite Series 2 controller the day it was released and it's a really good controller in my opinion. The only thing that I have a problem with is the bumpers LB and RB. They move twice when pressed instead of once like it should. I try moving
tabs on Xbox Home by pressing the bumpers and it goes to far right or left kind of annoying at times.

Other than that its a good controller the trigger stops are nice as well and the paddles are smaller than the Previous Elite Controller.

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.
