    I can't believe you can't macro keys on the elite controller...but why?


    I bought an elite controller today with the presumption that i could have macro keys. For example, in Elite Dangerous the are several menus or actions you have access to by having to press two buttons. For instance, i have LB+A for shield cell banks and
    RB+A for heat sinks. I poorly presumed it would be a no brainer that i could map both commands to just on paddle or button on the elite controller. After trying but failing multiple times, I goggled it and come to find out this feature is not supported. Two
    years ago people were dumb found as to why this was as i am today.

    I get how remapping certain buttons to paddles maybe useful in twitch base FPS games, but come on! For a $150.00 bucks there should be more uses for an "elite" controller other than mainly appealing to FPS games. I am extremely disappointed.
    I may give the controller a few weeks to see if it grows on me but thankfully Gamestop is offering a full 30 days to return the controller for full cash back. Unless i hear a really dam good reason why this controller can't have this feature or it's in the
    works, i'm 97.321% sure i'll be taking them up on that offer.

    :)

    Hi

    Can you please make this suggestion through the
    Xbox Uservoice website     and hopefully this feature can get added to the Elite controller.

    does the XBOX Elite 2 Controller have any macro capabilities

    There are no Macro capabilities that I'm aware of. It's similar to the original elite controller and it's mapping abilities.

    how to control an xbox controller with a pc

    Hello Hunting

    Are you wanting to make a macro so that the keyboard keys are used as a certain button on the controller? If this is the case there is no macro or software to do so.

    Hope this helps let us know.

    Thanks

    Xbox Elite Controller on PC?

    Since the remapping configuration is stored on the controller and not the console/pc itself I doubt you'll be able to do such a thing.

    If PC games don't have native controller support there are third party apps out there which allow you to map any button to whichever keyboard key you like which might be an option.

    However again I don't believe the 4 extra paddles will be seen as extra macro keys for pc
