Elite Controller D-Pad Problem

jflcroft · Nov 18, 2016

Hi there! The "up" button on the d-pad of my Elite Controller has been a little inconsistent since purchase, and has now become very inconsistent - simply often doesn't register a press.

Problem configuring XB1 Elite Controller

For some reason i cant configure my Elite controller so that i can use my paddles as D-Pad directional inputs.

Is there any way to fix this problem or is it just a problem with the app?

Thanks.

Xbox One Elite Controller d-pad wobble

I got my Elite controller a few weeks ago and I'm very happy with it so far, but the d-pad keeps bothering me. It's not like it doesn't do it's job or anything - it works perfectly in fact, but every time I put my thumb on the left side of it I can feel
the wobble and it slowly drives me crazy. I'm pretty sure I need to get a replacement controller but I'd like some input from other Elite controller-owners first.

Please watch the video I uploaded:

As you can see in the video this affects both included D-pads, so I think it's safe to assume the controller itself is faulty. If you own an Elite controller, please chime in and let me know if your d-pad is wobbly as well, because if it's not, I'm gonna
have to get mine replaced.

A video would be perfect ;D

for the xbox one it would be my elite controller love the weight and the rubberized grips, for the 360 was the controller that the d-pad spun from a d-pad to a disc I don't really play any other consoles so lol

Microsoft should make it as optional purchase for Elite 2 (or bundle inside already).

They already have similar D-Pad in the Xbox Wireless Controller

I bought the more expensive/premium Elite 2, but instead I got worse D-Pads, so I'm disappointed.

The D-pad on the elite is a great improvement with the dish attachment, the original D-pad is horrible. The response for changing weapons on any GOW with my original was horrible for some reason and I always had a slow response with the xb1 gui. I think
it does or did have problems since the halo controller was more responsive.

The D pad on the elite controllers are magnetic and are made to pop on and off. Is that what you are talking about or is it a different issue?
