Xbox controller button mapping fault

colllinsmanyame · Mar 26, 2021

I need help, randomly out of nowhere my buttons mapping changed on my controller. When I press Y it acts as my pause menu, so I basically have two pause buttons. The thing is I never touched xbox accessories to change that but I checked and somehow those changes occurred without me doing anything, just happened suddenly while I was opening a game. Please can anyone help me fix this or know what's going on??

Also yes I have updated the controller, I've reset the mapping to default multiple times tried mapping them back and still nothing

Hey MagicCoder

If the mapping of the controller shows the button permanently pressed in Xbox Accessories then it sounds broken or at fault.

If you have disassembled the controller that will unfortunately void the warranty for a possible replacement.

Is it a new generation controller that you are having the issues with?

@Bizarro - Don't. Just don't...

I really like the controller for the Xbox One, although 1 of my controllers has a really sticky A button that I don't like at all. Then again, I think that's my fault rather than a manufacturing fault of the controller.

The paddles on the Elite controller can only be mapped through the Xbox Accessories app on the Xbox One or Windows 10, otherwise they default to ABXY. They are mapped through the controller itself, you press a paddle on the controller, the controller then
sends the mapped command to the PC/Console. Thus they can only be mapped to duplicate other buttons on the controller and cannot be mapped to commands that are "outside" of the regular Xbox Controller inputs.

Basically they aren't an extra 4 buttons, rather an alternative 4 buttons.

Also, if they are not responding at all, try double tapping the sync button on the top of the controller. When turning the paddles off, you get 4 short bursts of vibration, when turning the paddles on, you get one longer burst of vibration.

I believe you can also set this within the Controller App for button mapping. It might be worth setting the game to default and trying to make the change in the Xbox controller button mapping app?
