My first elite controller broke in the first week, the left thumbstick internal snapped, hopefully the series 2 controller is good

Hello Matthieucarlot,

Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. Looking at the website, I am not seeing any extra bonus for pre ordering. Check out this link regarding the

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2.

A list of items you will be getting :

• Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2
• Carrying case
• Set of 6 thumbsticks: Standard (2), Classic (2), Tall (1), Wide Dome (1)
• Set of 4 paddles: Medium (2), Mini (2)
• Set of 2 D-pads: Standard, Faceted
• Thumbstick-adjustment tool
• Charging dock
• USB-C cable

Hope this helps!

Hi ,

Thanks for taking the time to ask this question here on the forums. Regarding the thumbsticks on the new Xbox Elite controller series 2, the calculations refer to actions that can be taken by the thumbsticks themselves, so it essentially the following (pardon
for the loose translations):

• Radial - based on radius of full or half-circle movements made by the thumbstick,
• Independent axis - based on the X or Y axis (up/down, L to R movement)
• True Diagonals - would mean true 90deg diagonals based on the X/Y axis

For further information regarding any settings on this particular controller, I'd recommend checking out the following support articles that can detail what can be done more explicitly:

Get to know your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2


Adjust the thumbsticks on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2


Use the Xbox Accessories app to customize your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2  


In general, it would be a good idea to test out different settings, just to see what works best for you and makes you more comfortable in gaming with the controller.

I hope that this information helps out!

Oh okay , thank you very much for this response.

Hi PsycoPyro88,

Thanks for the reply. The Elite controller series 2 has various methods of mapping the buttons and paddles as compared to the series 1. If you haven't done so already, I recommend taking a look at the following support articles that
can assist you in determining how to set up the different functions, including how to use Shift with the controller to give you alternate inputs:
