remapping paddle buttons different from ABXY

The controller is only designed to have controller functions remapped to the paddles. For instance I remapped left stick down to the left front paddle and same with right stick down. I never have to push down on a stick while also doing something. I
do not believe there is every any mention of mapping function that are not done on the controller to the paddles/buttons. You can have two different mappings and switch between them with a switch if you for instance want one mapping for regular flight and
a different mapping for landing etc.

If you want to have the paddle as melee, you need to remap the paddle to be RB, not remap the RB. I.e. do it the other way around, set paddle to be RB not RB to be paddle.

I think I'm having the same issue, but since I just got my Elite 2 controller today I can't be sure. Could you check something for me?

Go into Control Panel -> Devices and Printers, then find your elite controller (listed as "Xbox Wireless Controller" I think) right click and select "Game Controller Settings". From there you should see a readout of all of your controller inputs. Mine lists 16 total buttons, but the paddle buttons will not activate. If I remap the paddles to other buttons within the XBox Accessories app then I can emulate a different button with the paddles, for instance X lights up the "3" button, and so does the paddle... but the paddle button never illuminates.

The paddles seem to produce NO UNIQUE INPUT OF THEIR OWN, they can only emulate other buttons, even though the computer knows the paddle buttons exist.

From all the searching I've done, what I've gathered is that the "Default" profile (which you can activate by holding the profile selector for a few seconds) used to allow the paddles to work independently, but something within the last few months broke that. For instance Steam's Big Picture controller configuration options used to allow for remapping the paddles, but now they do not.

TLDR: Microsoft seems to have recently broke something in and update to the Xbox Elite controller, which is now preventing the paddle buttons from sending their unique button input while using the default profile. They can now only emulate another controller button, or send no input at all.

Hi Asryan2a,

What do you mean by changing the actions? By remapping the buttons you change what action they do in game. You can also remap the included paddles from the default ABXY face buttons. This is all done through the Xbox Accessories App which you can download
from the Microsoft Store and you have the May 2019 update (ver 1903). It is recommended to configure the controller on the PC using the included micro USB cable.

I hope this helps!

I've since done some testing. When Remapping Paddles to any button it does not introduce lag. When remapping any face button to an input originally intended for another face button It introduces Lag as well. Haven't tested the effect of stick clicks or bumpers
yet.
