    Why does my Xbox elite 2 controller buttons not work?

    Hello, i'm sure it's more to do with the controller inside and not the console itself, i connected my elite to my computer and even it didn't turn on using the home button, i'm not even sure myself on how this happened, it just turned off then all the buttons didn't work but, thanks for telling me, if there's anything else you can provide, please be happy to say.

    Hi JJJames120, my name is Daniel and I would be happy to help.

    I am sorry that you are having this problem, with the intention of helping you I am going to suggest that you perform the following steps.

    Try performing a hard reset EXACTLY like this. Press and hold the power button on the console for 8 seconds or until the power turns off completely. Unplug the power cord from the back of the console for 5 minutes. Plug the power cable back in and restart the console.

    If the problem still persists after doing this, it would be advisable to check if you have an active warranty from Xbox and request a free repair. To do this you must register your device at the following link:

    Best regards,

    Elite series 2 controller

    My elite series 2 rb button doesnt work and i cant find a replacement button how do i fix this
    Microsoft knew the controllers were defective and still sold them as a good product. they wont do anything to fix your controller because its most like out of warranty thats why the warranty was so short. The whole elite series 2 was a scam

    Xbox Controllers

    hi my elite 2 controller don't respond anymore.

    not one button, stick or paddles work but the controller is "on"= "home button" has light on...

    i can't turn the controller off

    when i open the accessories app there is only my standard controller displayed.

    connecting to xbox with usb cable doing nothing

    when i put them in the case: no "vibration"

    on the elite 1 you can simply remove the battery but on elite 2 it's impossible.

    is there a trick to turn the controller off and on?

    thx

    Elite 2 controller paddle defaults

    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.

    Sincerely,
