    Why does pressing R3 to the upper left on Xbox Elite Series 2 shut down the controller?


    Yesterday I played some Halo Infinite Matches and noticed that my controller turned itself off. First I thought it was the battery so i charged it and today I recognized the issue occurs when I press the right Stick to the top left. It happens in every test afterwards and had nothing to do with any console or PC connection.

    Then I did a litte research and found out there are many other with the same problem since over 2 years (!)!!!

    For example:

    Elite Series 2 controller shuts off. - Microsoft Community

    Elite v2 controller turns off when pushing down on R3 : XboxSupport (reddit.com)

    Xbox Elite Series 2 Controllers disconnects when R Analog is hardly - Microsoft Community

    Elite Series 2 Controller shuts off when I use the joysticks. : xbox (reddit.com)

    My xbox elite series 2 controller shuts down and my right joy stick - Microsoft Community

    Why is this still a problem after two years? My Elite is just a few weeks old and now I have to call the support again. This is so annoying and an absolute no-go for a controller this price!!!

    Edit; There are almost 300 people in the Microsoft-Threads which pressed "I have the same question" so this a real issue!

    Microsoft Elite Controller 2 disconnects from XBOX One X intermittently

    This did not work, I also noticed that if I shut off the XBOX One X it disconnects this controller and I have to reconnect it on startup. This does not happen with my other controllers just the Elite series 2 one.. I'll request a replacement

    What is the use of shift?

    The shift button allows you to assign a secondary set of mappings to controls.

    So, for example, in your screenshot the lower-left paddle is mapped to LS, however, if you hold in shift and press the lower-left paddle, it's then mapped to X instead of LS. That allows you to do 2 different actions with the same paddle, depending on whether you have shift held in or not.

    More info here: -

    https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/shift-elite-series-2

    Think of it like your computer keyboard. If you press the 7 key by itself you just get the number 7. If you hold down shift and press it, you get the & symbol instead. 2 different characters are mapped to the same key, and which one you get depends on if you're pressing shift or not.

    how do i raise and lower volume on xbox one s

    You can do that with the Elite Series 2 controller. You have to add your home theater to your Xbox if you haven't already.

    Using the Xbox Accessories app I added the Volume up, down and mute to the dpad up, down and right to my 3rd preset on my Elite Series 2 controller.

    Elite series 2

    Hey I have got an Elite Series 2 controller the day it was released and it's a really good controller in my opinion. The only thing that I have a problem with is the bumpers LB and RB. They move twice when pressed instead of once like it should. I try moving
    tabs on Xbox Home by pressing the bumpers and it goes to far right or left kind of annoying at times.

    Other than that its a good controller the trigger stops are nice as well and the paddles are smaller than the Previous Elite Controller.
