Elite controller 2 paddles useless ?

I haven't used the paddles yet as they feel weird. I need to practice with them and get used to it.

I can see the advantage of not needing to take your thumbs off the sticks

Hey, I don't understand the point of the paddles on the elite controller 2 ! Why adding 4 new buttons if you can't map anything else than the one already on your controller, why not being able to map keys from the keyboard ?

The paddles are great for games where you're needing to press in the left or right stick as an input, which is pretty much most big titles these days. Also they're great for shooters because you can map stuff like jump, reload, melee buttons to the paddles,
that way your thumbs never need to leave the sticks. Gives you that extra split second of aiming that you need. Also helps a lot for battle royale games.

I have the four paddles on my original Elite controller set for sprint, crouch/slide, heals and melee for Apex Legends, and I found that I had a lot more success on the game when it come to shoot outs with other players.

The paddles are also great for NHL, where I can just set one of the paddles to be a stick click for skating faster.

I find the paddles useful for someone like myself who has issues with his hands and finds it hard to wrap fingers round the controller but that's a personal opinion. I do agree the there could be better options to be played with..

Surprising and deceiving…. I've heard a lot of bad comments on the Elite controller. It's made me rethink about buying one !!
