Xbox Elite Paddles Not Recognized After Mapping

Hello The Dude Abides.,

You mentioned that you mapped your Xbox Elite paddles in the Xbox Accessories App but they are not responding.

Is the issue for only one game or is it reproduced in multiple games?

Here is the support article for troubleshooting Xbox Wireless controllers, it includes how to complete updates, and troubleshooting differs depending on whether the issue is recreated in multiple games (which is included in the article).

Let us know if you're able to resolve your issue with the information in the article,

I'm on Windows 10 and reverting back got my paddles to be recognized by reWASD, Thank you edi tempura. Blows my mind that Microsoft doesn't make it to where the elite series 2 can have the paddles mapped to the keyboard instead of using 3rd party software to do it.

I mapped one of the paddles to the left stick for sprinting in games on my Elite. Both the paddle and left stick click have been working fine.

Make sure your button is functioning properly in other games--it could be jammed. Also, double-check your button mapping (Xbox Accessories App) and controller settings (in the game).

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 have mapped buttons to the paddles with no issues at all, with the new elite controller you can now map TV functions such as volume up and down to the controller
