Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 |OT| Everything Else is Child's Play
- Thread starter digitalrelic
- Start date
My first Elite 2 had the A button issue. I used it for a few weeks to see if it would break in and it never did. I returned it and thankfully my replacement controller has been perfect.
Yeah but they didn't know it was my 8th, it was the 3rd different retailer I bought an Elite at. They seemed completely informed about the controllers' issues though.
Disappointing hearing about the quality issues. I had problems with the first version and was hoping v2 would be better. Pretty crazy they dropped the ball on this
Same here, I feel really bad for the people that have problems but for me I've been perfect since day one
On my elite V1 I just used a headset directly connected to the ps4, USB or dongle like the Golds. Until I got the Xone that is, it that doesn't work with V2.
Cool! I'm looking at a couple of cheap 3.5mm to USB adapters on Amazon that mention working on PS4 that should be exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!
Yes. It's a pretty common* problem. I'd return your controller.
*we obviously don't know the percent of defective units, but for those of us who have had problems (quite a few here) it's a pretty common issue.
My original Elite, White revision and now the Elite 2 are controllers I've never had problems with. It's weird to see you guys going through it. Sorry to hear about the faults.
Just got mine yesterday! Didnt need one since i have the series 1 but someone was selling the series 2 brand new on offerup for $100 so I got it! I love the tight sticks
Is there a way to download or share controller configurations with the community?
I'd love to be able to try out different control schemes that people are using.

Hi All, I'm just a few days short of the 30-day return period at GameStop. Going that route due to a week responsive A button. Not terrible but certainly noticeable. The main problem is....these controllers are back ordered for a potentially long time. It's tIme to bite the bullet vs. going through a warrantee/replacement process. Love the controller otherwise. So much better than V1. Best of luck to all.....
So I'm kinda apprehensive about posting this and asking for help but for some reason, I can't get my paddles to work. My current config...
But for some reason I can't get the paddles to work as they should. They just revert to the standard config and not custom. Any advice?

Have you mapped your setup to one of the available slots? I think you do that on the screen before this
All mapped to slot 1.
I have the sticks and vibration mapped out but the paddles are always default. I've tested them within the app and they work perfectly but they refuse to config. I know it's user error but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Hi - dumb question... Can you not use the charging cradle unless you have paddles installed on the back? I can see exactly how the pins should line up but it seems like there's no "catch" to hold it in place on the charger unless I'd install the paddles.
From what I know, all Xbox One controllers will work with Scarlett. That's great, especially for those who got personalized "Design Labs" and those using truly awesome Xbox Adaptive Controller.
I could be wrong, but I don't think I am...

You're correct. MS has said on several I occasions that all Xbox One controllers are compatible with Scarlett.
I'm assuming it also means compatible with Scarlett games and not just Xone games on Scarlett?
Received my controller today everything seems fine except for this white mark on the right side rubber grip?
Would I be petty if I tried to get it exchanged for a different one? It's only cosmetic but for $200...

If it's not a scratch, try wiping it with a soft cleaning cloth like a microfiber cloth.
Same here...appears as if the controller arrived dirty or used.
It was initially offsetting but a quick wipe cleared the concern.
In no way do I want to offset the controller as the best of the best and I'll stick with it.
I just don't want any variables past the simple in-store return date (just like everything else).
Cant wait to playing the V2 for many years to come.

I got my controller from the Taco Bell promotion a few weeks ago, lot #1934 on the box. Been playing CoD MW on PC with it via Bluetooth and I'm getting disconnects every few minutes with it and massive game stuttering happening during the disconnect. I'm not sure what my options are other than waiting for a firmware update or give MS their blood money for their proprietary wireless adapter :-/
Though I never used BT connectivity, it does suck that it's unreliable at best. Hopefully a firmware update in the future fixes this.
On the other hand, their proprietary WiFi adapter is a very good investment especially for sub $20. I've had the OG version since 2015 and it continues to serve me well today.
OG Model:
nu Slim Model:
Hghlights:
- Very reliable connectivity
- Longer range than BT
- Wirelessly connect up to 8 controllers
- Connects with Microsoft-certified Xbox One compatible wireless headsets
- Supposedly lower input latency than BT, though I probably can't tell the difference (same proprietary WiFi protocol used on Xbox One)
Have links on this? I thought it was just the Elite V2 controller.
Google-fu is your friend, but here:
Straight from the horse' mouth:
"So really, the things that you've bought from us, whether the games or the controllers that you're using, we want to make sure those are future compatible with the highest fidelity version of our console, which at that time will obviously be the one we've just launched."
Is this it? Because he had already talked about Elite V2 being compatible with Scarlett at this point, so I thought he was simply referring to those controllers.
Gonna need more, chief. Google-fu is friends with no one.

It's all over the place. Phil Spencer himself directly said it on Twitter, as did one of the Xbox Controller design guys on several occasions. I can't find the tweets at the moment but this will do for now:

"All your accessories are compatible moving forward as well. If you go and buy an Elite Wireless Controller or Series Two Controller that will be forward compatible on the Scarlett."
EDIT - Here we go, straight from James Shields, Product/Marketing Manager for Xbox accessories at Microsoft:
Yeah my original Elite has that issue, thankfully my Series 2 is fine.
Mine was connecting to bluetooth perfectly until I installed a new graphics card and power supply. Now I can't get it to connect at all.
Pretty damn frustrating

that's weird that your power supply or graphics card would affect it. I wonder if that's my problem too.
I had to switch back to my V1, but I really miss the tighter sticks and clicky back paddles. They made me a lot quicker and precise. Hope they start shipping fixed controllers quickly.
Some of the larger retailers here seem to have stopped selling them, making them unavailable for orders as opposed to just telling they're sold out.

So think we can program that new "record" button to the series 2? The one that's on the Series X controller?
How much play/wiggle/"deadzone" is there supposed to be on the analog sticks before you can start to feel tension/resistance? I went from playing on my PC with my Series 2 to playing on my PS4 with a normal DS4, and I noticed that the DS4 sticks feel way tighter and don't have as much "wiggle" before you start to feel tension/resistance on the stick.
