Increased Button Mapping Functionality for Elite Controller Series 2

Thanks Viper.

That seems totally strange to me. It can't be an analogue digital hing as it allows you to map, say, the right trigger, to a button.

I really really hope they add that soon!

I appreciate your reply. Happy New Year.

Well you can't re-map the triggers on the Standard or Elite Series 1 controller, but you can with the Elite Series 2. It does seem like an analog/digital thing. I hope its not to hard to add the stick direction re-mapping function to the Series 2.

I will send feedback to Microsoft about this.

Happy New Year to you.

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

Hi PsycoPyro88,

Thanks for the reply. The Elite controller series 2 has various methods of mapping the buttons and paddles as compared to the series 1. If you haven't done so already, I recommend taking a look at the following support articles that
can assist you in determining how to set up the different functions, including how to use Shift with the controller to give you alternate inputs:

Hello DavidLindsey5,

Happy Holidays!

Welcome to Xbox Community Forums. We appreciate for sharing your concern with us and we hope that you are doing well today.

As per description, you are inquiring if paddles on the Xbox Elite 2 controller have default settings and if they already mapped to a button out of the box.

Here's what we got from our research.

No, the Elite Series 2 controller does not come with paddles. Paddles are an optional extra that can be purchased separately. What does the button in the middle of the Elite Series 2 controller do? The button in the middle of the Elite Series 2 controller can be used to change the controller’s profiles.

It can be configured, check on this link. Configure your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 | Xbox Support.

We also provided you some features of the controller. Xbox Elite Wireless Controller features | Xbox Support

We hope it worked out well for you. If not, please reply back to this forum to let us know so we could find other options to resolve the problem.



We will be glad to follow up and help you.

Hello VASILISNIKOLO, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you, ready to assist with this.

I'll be happy to answer your questions:

1. If I understood correctly, you want to know if the elite controller is compatible with Xbox One or Series X, right?
If that's correct, the Elite Controller Series 2 can be used with both consoles without problem.

2. You don't need to install drivers in order to use the controller functionalities, as soon as you connect the controller to the console, you can map it or customize it by opening the Xbox Accessories app.
