Me and my son have been through 8 in total. Terrible build quality. Ive gone back to a standard pad and he is using a razor wolverine tournament editon pad now. Much better quality.
got an elite this morning and just wondered if there is any guide for the trigger locks and what settings for say black ops 4 and exactly what they do?
also am i right in assuming if i just wanted to use 2 paddles i can choose whatever size so the 2 small ones where the big ones are positioned are they interchangeable?
Have a think about what things in game you do alot that require you to take your fingers off the thumbsticks. As markypancake said d-pad things are a good option.got an elite this morning and just wondered if there is any guide for the trigger locks and what settings for say black ops 4 and exactly what they do?

I use the half triggers all the time, just make sure you adjust the deadzones in the accessories app to at least match the triggers' shorter length of travel, otherwise they won't work properly in some games, due to you shortening the length of travel to 100% activated.
Go with whatever paddle setup is comfortable for you. Personally, I can't get on with all four and just use the two shorter ones. I tend to assign them to buttons that require me to not have to let go of the thumbsticks as much. For example, in Battlefield I use them for the left and right d-pad actions, which enables me to use gadgets without letting go of the thumbsticks. In Ghost Recon Wildlands I use them to access the binoculars and drone, again to limit my time letting go of the thumbsticks.
I played around with different setups before finding that for me, the paddles work well assigned to d-pad directions. Of course, this doesn't work for all games, so I would use them for something different in say Titanfall.
You can save your configurations in the accessories app and have two stored in the controller. My most played games for quite a while have been Battlefield and Wildlands, so these are the two configs I've saved in the controller.
The half-pull triggers and paddles feel so natural to use now, that I don't like using the normal Xbox controller anymore.
you mention use the half triggers all the time, just make sure you adjust the deadzones in the accessories app, how do i do this exactly please? sorry i'm not very up on what you can do and how, any help would be great on those
Mine is now slowly falling apart. Bumpers have been replaced. The grip is slowly coming off and buttons now and again need a 2nd press, same with the triggers.
Had it since release and used on a daily basis and probably my most used controller so had my money's worth but really can't afford to buy a replacement at the moment. Really hoped there would be some deals on. Had a look at some other controllers but they are more expensive.
Guess I best start saving.
Have you thought about maybe getting a second hand one and then upgrading it yourself on the cheap? Plenty of guides about
Not really seen many about 2nd hand to be honest.
as all my rubber pads have grown and fell off, ive been using a normal gears of war controller, but i miss my elite. I was using it as my hands are missing a lot of feeling as my Multiple Sclerosis is getting worse. but it still doesnt feel right, has MS fixed the issue yet? or do the rubber grips still grow and fall off?
The inner rubber grip on one of the ‘handles’ has now become unstuck...I did manage to re-stick it back with Gorilla Glue, but the edge of it is now proud with the rubber being stretched...hope they’ve fixed this issue (which seems to be a well known one) as I don’t want to pay the £150 odd for it to be the sameI'm on my 3rd elite, previous two both the rubber grips on the left grip(inner side) started to come off, so yeah they still grow and come off. You can get replacement grips for the outer rubber grips on eBay for a few £ and those work fine
Had 2 elites do the same will not buy the new one unless they sell the grips as a spare replacement part(cheap), pointless having a solid controller with no grips...The inner rubber grip on one of the ‘handles’ has now become unstuck...I did manage to re-stick it back with Gorilla Glue, but the edge of it is now proud with the rubber being stretched...hope they’ve fixed this issue (which seems to be a well known one) as I don’t want to pay the £150 odd for it to be the same
Just on the vibration issue, I would just turn it off in the settings..maybe not the answer your looking for, but I do this with every game I have, just to make the battery last a little longerSecondly - I doubt this one can be solved... vibration is very loud - the motors are banging against the inside of the shell - it's horrific on Forza, and on destiny it'll vibrate with every gun shot. Suggestions welcome.
