When playing Battlefield my right D pad registers a hit down...

You must hold LEFT or the RIGHT on the D-PAD. NOT the analog sticks. you hold the right d-pad down and you will see a number show up next to the item highlighted to hotkey that item to the right d pad.

Also, quick tip, you can actually switch between three things with two handed items.

.

lets say you have a two handed item hot keyed to the d pad(lets use right), and you have two spells in your hand, you hit the right d-pad, you switch to your two handed weapon, when you hit right on the d pad again, its brings up the two spells you last
had in your hand. same with the left. you can have a two handed weapon on the left, and a bow on the right, and duel wield two weapons or spells and switch between all three of them on the fly.

.

This is how you can switch between three things.

.

I have poisons hotkeyed to the left d-pad and my bow hotkeyed to the left, and when I need to heal, I hit the right on my d-pad to unequip my bow and that brings up my conjur spell and healing spell and then I hit the right d-pad again to switch back to
my bow and then I hit the left d pad to use a poison on the bow.

Your not the only one, same issue during light or quicker presses on my Elite controller as well. I use the D-pad for all menu navigation and find it (D-Pad down) failing to register 3-4 out of 10 presses. I refuse to use it, forget gaming with it.

When that button clicks, the input should register, period.

Hi there,

based on by looking at the controller the D pad has for positions, Up, Down, Left and Right.

But, when you are playing a game like Mortal Kombat pressing both Down and Left will be considered a seperate position (at least that is my experience)

Also the Elite controller has the option to replace the standard D-Pad to a different one to more easily be able to do the Down-Left, Down-Right, Up-Left adn Up-Right positions

Try going to the System Info page (Settings > System Settings > Console Settings > System Info) and press "Left Trigger" "Right Trigger" "X" "Y" "Left Bumper" "Right Bumper" "Down With The D-Pad" "Down With The D-Pad Again" "Up With The D-Pad" "X"

Try going to a garage and when inside hit I believe its right on the d-pad, it should open a list of special cars, its its not right its left. If that doesn't work no idea.
