Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller hair trigger causing issues

your elite series 2 need repair...

about elite series 2, I think this has more problem....

I have 2 elite series 2, my rubber knobs on the hair trigger locks came off too.

And My 'A' button is very bad..

Having the hair triggers set to the 3rd level on the new Series 2 Elite controller already makes it as responsive as can be so adjusting the dead zones doesn't apply as they're already maxed out.

but since it was a white one I had to buy hair triggers

Are you sure you're talking about hair triggers? All Elite Series 2s have hair triggers, including the Core models that don't come with the case, charger, paddles etc., so you wouldn't have had to make an extra purchase to get hair triggers.

If you're talking about the paddles, make sure you have a profile selected that actually uses them.

With the Elite Series 2, there are actually 4 selectable profiles, because 1 of them is a default profile that makes the controller work just like a standard Xbox controller, so when that profile is selected, zero lights are lit up beneath the profile select button and the paddles are disabled.

I have seen others have this issue and that has sometimes been the problem, because if it was a mechanical issue, it would be unlikely that more than 1 paddle would fail at the same time.

Obviously, I'm making an educated guess that you're talking about the paddles, so if not, please post back with more info.

So the hair trigger lvl on my controller registers nothing no matter what I change it too on the app. the first and 2nd lvls if the trigger stop works fine. the third registers nothing no matter what I set the dead zones to. Is there anything I
can try before i exchange this for another one?

I'm having the exact same issue with my Elite 2 which arrived yesterday. Hair triggers do not work for either side. Have updated the firmware on the controller and when setting the triggers to hair trigger neither of them registers anything, even in the Xbox
accesories testing app. Very frustrating.

Hello Kinggalor,

Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are experiencing paddle and hair-trigger issues with your Elite series 2 controller. How are they not working properly? Are they not responding or are they getting stuck somehow? Is your
Elite controller fully up to date?
