Elite Controller - lost all of my custom button configurations

Would be nice if you could save this to OneDrive.

Unfortunately I think you will probably have to set them all back up again.

Hi there MVDVCVSV,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with the Elite Controller paddles.

I recommend to take a look at the following article:

Have you been able to map and customize the Elite Controller using the Xbox Accessories App?

Try this and let us know the results.

Hi all,

One of our Support team, mentioned a solution that is easy and fast to do. May we know if anyone from here have tried to do remapping their Controller's button? If this is the first time you have heard about this. Kindly check this quick video of how Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 works - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qflhejZNTGA

Now, this advance Controller offers exclusive option to create profile to customize button mapping that you can do using Xbox Accessories app. Here are steps on how to create a controller profile:

1. Using your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, open the Xbox Accessories app.
   
2. Scroll to the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, then select Configure.
   
3. Select New profile, give your profile a name, then configure your changes. For example, if you reassign D-pad down  on the face of the controller to the Y button , then the D-pad down  will act as the Y button  going forward.
   
4. When you’re done, press the B button  for the changes to take effect.
   

Create multiple profiles in the app and switch between them using the built-in Profile button.

1. Open the Xbox Accessories app, scroll to the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, then select Configure.
   
2. In Profiles, select a controller profile you’ve created or create a new one.
   
3. Choose a slot.
   

You can assign a slot for up to three profiles. Press the Profile button on the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller 2 to switch between them. When no bars appear lit below the Profile button, the controller is using the default button mapping.

Assign Shift key button:

Assign buttons to act as shortcuts for system actions like “Record that” and “Take screenshot.” When you select a button to remap, choose Primary or Shift, go to the Action tab, then choose an action from the list. When you’re done, press the B button  for the changes to take effect.

Note System actions are currently not available on Windows 10.

Kind regards,

I can say that as of today, the only issue I've ever had with the Elite controller is the fact that my Right Bumper (RB) button has worn out completely on my Gears of War Elite controller and now the replacement standard Elite controller I received a mere
3 or 4 months ago or less.. I would attribute it to being overused because of the button configuration for the recent Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey games; but I won't do that, because it highlights a flaw in the bumper buttons that must
be addressed in a future redesign.

Every other aspect of the controller is excellent but for that single issue. That same button on the standard build of the Xbox One controller seems to be more solidly built. It may be a simple reworking those two buttons to put molded rubber padding under
the button for better durability. The game's configuration could be changed so that the RB button is not the primary attack button that should be an exception, not the rule. I just changed my configuration to remap the faulty RB button to one of the paddles,
while I'm playing Odyssey and it's working for the time being.

I have always loved the concept of the controller, but I can't wait for a redesign of those bumper buttons. I really hope it's soon.
