Hand Hurts when Using Paddles on Elite Controller

Hebrahu · Feb 29, 2016

I have been using the regular Xbox One controller pretty hardcore since it came out. A couple of days ago I got an elite controller and I started using paddles for the first time. After one day of usage, my left hand started hurting, and my hand shakes when
I move it to a certain position. The game I mostly played was Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 so it was pretty paddle extensive. I had only played for a couple of hours, and I was holding the controller the same as I would without the paddles. Has anyone else had
this issue? Whether it be from a scuff controller or the Elite.

Xbox One Elite Controller Opinions

So I bought a Xbox One Elite Controller but I just cannot get on with the paddles on the back of the controller.

Is it a case of perseverance or does anyone not bother with using the paddles?

It may simply be a case of needing to get used to using the new controller. Although you are holding it the same way you are using your hands a little differently which could cause some discomfort initially. Good Luck!

BO3 is too fast to learn a new controller. Try to play other slower pace game. I play fallout 4, get used to hold it and the paddles first. You'll feel more comfortable when back to BO3.

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.

They made them smaller than the ones from the first elite controller because of complaints of them being too big and easily caught when you don't want to press then. Personally because I have smaller hands catching the second pair of paddles was an issue
if I ever had them attached, so for me smaller paddles is an improvement
