Been using it for an hour and loved it. I can't find any reason to NOT use the hair trigger mode. What's the benefit of longer trigger pull? Just personal preference?

For things where you want a more gradual increase, e.g. accelerator in a driving game.
I'm staring at this thing and I honestly can't tell any difference whatsoever. Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I was thinking it was modifying the paddles, not the triggers. Whoops!
lol Happens to the best of us mate.
Well I got mine and it's fucking fantastic. It's got one huge con though...the rubber they used for the matte finish. I don't know if it's the same compound or anything but it feels exactly like the logitech mx518 mouse. If the rubber broke down and started peeling on your mx518 like mine did, you would know what a con this is.
I dunno, I hope I'm wrong and maybe this will last forever. Anyways, that shouldn't happen for a while,but I just thought I would mention it lol
Now to experiment on some paddle configs ��
You can also rename your controller to whatever you want anytime you wish.
Which sticks are you guys using? I was thinking about using the tall stick for my right analog stick.
What do you Halo 5 Bumper Jumper players use for the paddles?
So hair triggers. Fastest pull is 0_1 in the configure?
Just can't use the right paddles atm since I'm trained to hit the right trigger with my middle finger. Accidental presses all over the place.
Well in theory you could use your Pinky for bottom and Ring finger for top paddle.
Yeah thats my problem. Ring finger hitting paddle while I'm firing.
I had the same concerns since my old nostromo n52te had a rubbery touch layer on top and it just naturally peeled off, even when sitting in a box. The coating on this, though, feels a lot harder so I'm hoping it'll last longer.
Question: Can I swap the tops of the thumbsticks to use the convex tops on the middle height sticks?
I use only two short paddles, both on the top.
Top left: dash
Top right: grenade
I experimented with having sprint and reload on the paddles, but it didn't make much sense. Sprinting is usually used when I'm trying to run away or chase someone down, so I can allow my thumb to leave the right stick in those situations. I also don't feel the need for my thumb to stay on the stick when I need to reload since I'm dead in the water during that short period regardless.
I also mapped jump to my left hair trigger too so I don't really need to move my fingers up top too much. It also forces me to use the paddle for grenade which has helped me relearn the game with this new controller.
This controller truly is the bees knees.
This thing seems to be sold out everywhere. Did Microsoft release a limited initial batch to test the market?
That option doesn't seem to exist on the retail dash (and after hooking mine up to my surface and using the app there to name it, that name doesn't show in the xbox app - it still just says "arhra's ELITE". I'm guessing the app was primarily built as a win10 universal app (so they have one codebase for both xbox and windows), and the version you get on the retail dash is a bare-bones downport to bridge the gap until the NXOE goes live and the real app is available to everyone.
Now I just need to stop accidentally clicking the paddles when going for the triggers or bumpers when someone comes round a corner in front of me.
They didn't think this many people would buy it. IIRC one of the dudes behind the project said it'll only sell to super hardcore MLG dudes and "maybe a few people will grab it off the shelf."
Turns out, people will pay good money for high quality products!
Damn might have to pick this up. Impressions in this thread make me want to make the plunge.

To you guys who are still learning to love/already learned to love the paddles, how do you guys handle naturally reaching for buttons?
I limited myself to just two paddles for now, Upper Left and Right. Upper Left is mapped to RB (Thrust) and Upper Right is mapped to A (jump). Trying to keep it simple, and I figured both of these would be to have.
I still naturally reach for the A-button to jump though, should I just allow myself too, or should I force myself to ONLY use the paddle by maybe disabling the A-button to not having any function at all?
