Xbox Elite 2 Bluetooth connections on multiple devices

Wolftousen · Dec 29, 2019

Does the Elite 2 remember Bluetooth connections/pairings for several devices? I have multiple PCs/devices I'd like to connect to, but so far, to move from one device to another i have to "remove the Bluetooth device" and "re-pair" it again. This is a little
annoying.

I would expect the behavior of:

Press the Bind button

Pair with Device A

Press the Bind button. Device A is no longer connected

Pair with Device B

Press the Bind button. Device B is no longer connected

Open Bluetooth menu on Device A and press "Connect"

Device A now connected

I have the Razer True Wireless Earbuds that do this exact thing and i haven't hit the device/pair limit with 5 devices... So I would have expected controller to do it too.

In Windows 10 I don't ever even see the "Connect" button show up in the Bluetooth menu like I do for my headphones. It just has "Remove Device" whether it is connected or not.

I have all the most recent updates on all my devices and have updated the controller, so that is not the issue.

If this is not currently supported, is it planned to add this in a future Firmware/Controller update?

No as far as I know it doesn't, if you have paired it on one device, then used it on another, you will have to pair it again.

Ive been having the same issues with the new controllers that use Bluetooth to connect. I notice more issues when im running/connecting multiple bluetooth devices. But overall the disconnecting happens at random times. Ive just got into the habit of plunging
the controller in whenever i play online multiplayer games. This has happened with the series 1 and 2 elites and the newer generic controllers.

The Xbox Elite Controller can’t connect wirelessly to your Android device since it doesn’t operate over Bluetooth

I have the same issue:

* the plain Xbox controller (non elite) connects via bluetooth to the TV and is recognised by the Xbox cloud app on my Samsung TV. I can use it to play games using the Samsung Xbox app.

* the brand new Xbox Elite Series 2 controller connects via bluetooth to the TV and is NOT recognised by the Xbox cloud app.

I tried several attempts deleting the pairing, re-pairing. Turn off TV on the power switch. Re-installing the Xbox app on the Samsung TV.

The result is always the same:

* The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller connects successfully to the TV and is shown as Paired and Connected in the Samsung TVs feature where you add external devices.
* But the Xbox app shows the yellow ! exclamation mark and does not recognise the Elite Controller.

I’ve paired my other non Elite standard Xbox controller now vie Bluetooth and USB, which works both.

This controller does not support xCloud. These are the controllers you can use.
