Elite controller and button mapping to paddles.

Arbil · Feb 5, 2016

Just got my elite controller and unless I am missing something I can't map two buttons to one paddle. Like hit my upper left paddle and it be Y+B to activate a synergy. This is wildly disappointing for me.

Elite Controller button mapping

Hello,

There needs to be an update for elite controller button mapping to allow direct binding of paddles, instead of having to bind them to the existing standard buttons.

Elite Controller

I have an elite controller and I was wondering if instead of mapping the paddles to different buttons (or vice versa), could the paddles become their own independent buttons? For example I play Elite: Dangerous Horizons on Xbox One and I want to change
the controls without removing any current controls. If this is possible in the future as a Xbox update, I'm sure many players with this controller will use and purchase elite controllers for their games.

Seriously. How about total control for all of the buttons! If you change a paddle you esntially change the same button on the controller. The skuf pad doesn't do that

Arbil, like you I was somewhat disappointed. I too expected to be able to map more than one button or a predetermined sequence of buttons (Macro's) to a paddle of my choice.

I have mapped buttons to the paddles with no issues at all, with the new elite controller you can now map TV functions such as volume up and down to the controller

The paddles on the Elite controller can only be mapped through the Xbox Accessories app on the Xbox One or Windows 10, otherwise they default to ABXY. They are mapped through the controller itself, you press a paddle on the controller, the controller then
sends the mapped command to the PC/Console. Thus they can only be mapped to duplicate other buttons on the controller and cannot be mapped to commands that are "outside" of the regular Xbox Controller inputs.

Basically they aren't an extra 4 buttons, rather an alternative 4 buttons.

Also, if they are not responding at all, try double tapping the sync button on the top of the controller. When turning the paddles off, you get 4 short bursts of vibration, when turning the paddles on, you get one longer burst of vibration.

Probably one of the biggest gain you will get from the elite controller is mapping the front buttons to the paddles on the back of the controller meaning no need to release the thumb sticks when you have to press other buttons on the controller.

I mapped one of the paddles to the left stick for sprinting in games on my Elite. Both the paddle and left stick click have been working fine.

Make sure your button is functioning properly in other games--it could be jammed. Also, double-check your button mapping (Xbox Accessories App) and controller settings (in the game).
