    Cannot remap triggers on PC

    The controller itself is first class. I purchased it thinking that I could remap the triggers to be any keystroke that I wanted on the PC. Indeed, it is possible to do this, but you must purchase third party software at an additional cost to do it. The Xbox Accessories App only lets you remap the triggers to a button already present on the physical controller. I think this is a big oversight.

      Hi there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part. Unfortunately, when connected to a Windows 10 PC via Bluetooth, the Xbox Accessories App cannot detect the controller and won't allow for remapping. To get around this, we recommend using a wired USB-C cable or investing in a Xbox Wireless Adapter. For more information, please go here: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/xbox-accessories-elite-series-2

      Hope that helps,

    Paddles on the bottom make a huge difference, Not a $150 difference tho. Corporate America is out of control.

    The only thing bad about this controller is that it spoils you to where you won’t want to use anything else.
