I didn't even realize these we're pre-mapped. Just tried it now. Thanks.
So I guess all four buttons can be mapped to either functions, games or apps?

Just got mine. Disappointed I can't macro the paddles... yet? But as far as functionality on PC, can anyone share their configurations on both stick and curve layouts? I know it's obviously subjective, but I want to get a feel for what other Neogaffers are finding good and not so good. Currently I have only replaced the thumbsticks with the medium length to try out the difference.

A couple of us have a "click" feel on left thumb stick when pushing it all the way up or down.

I couldn't handle 4 paddles. Right now I have sprint on left and melee on right

It's pre-installed if you have the latest update.
I don't think this would happen? Wouldn't this make it ineligible for tourneys?
Yeesh, that sounds like a personal question, lol.
But I have paddles:
although, I really don't think many people will like that layout.
What I think I can say with some certainty is that if you keep the same/same-ish layout throughout a few different games and get used to it in those games too, it'll help you get more accustomed to the paddles more quickly. At least it helped me by getting used to more or less this layout in 5, MCC, and Destiny (the only real differences I have to get over are the AimDownSights in Destiny and no sprint/armor abilities in the older Halo games).

Yup. With all 4 on it felt really uncomfortable, not because of hand position, but because of the magnetism. The top ones are a little too loose and slide down under the bottom paddles and slightly come off if you push in a certain direction
Maybe its just me not being used to it but the top two felt off. Having just the bottom two feels great though. Love it.
huh?

For PC, which is what I'm using it for. It's absolutely a must. There's literally no point to have it otherwise. We need to be able to bind key functions.
Oh, please don't take it the wrong way, lol. I meant that controller setups always seemed like preference to me and that what's good for one person might absolutely infuriate another. Just like how Invert-Y is our true Lord and Savior (this is a joke). I like my setup, but I don't Aim Down Sight (or Smart Link™, whatever) so I still have grenades on left trigger and reload on a bumper rather than a paddle. I'm not sure how much other people would like that.
I really do mean it with the other games thing, though. It helped me get used to the paddles just being there a lot, I think.

I have issues with my D-pad. Seems like the Up direction doesn't respond nicely, and if I push it hard, it actually shuts off my controller.
Uhhhhhhhhhh :|

Probably best to ignore that feature right now. Looks like they're working out some issues with the thumbstick curve sets.
Not many people can handle 4 paddles.
I got mine last night and man you can feel the premium just opening the box.
Started slow on Fallout 4, determined not to use the face buttons and threw on the hair triggers.
Feels great, a little foreign for now but warming up, i love I can just keep all my fingers resting in place.
Took it for a few spins on Halo, just need to work out what control scheme I want.
Also for sticks I've gone standard on the left and medium convex on the right.
Tips?

Hi
Can I ask for some assistance, for FPS what do you find your best set up is on the dead zone and the sticks, I have mine set to smooth and on 38 dead zone with the hair triggers locked obviously
just want to make sure I am not doing some stupid shit, also I am having a hell and all time remapping the back paddles, they always show up as unallocated

Same works good for me
So far the only other mention of third party stuff http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/...third-party-attachments-mapping-profiles.aspx
We won't be getting any Scuf parts this year it seems, only that Power A Halo 5 inspired stuff which doesn't look all that great.
They better hurry with the Scuf pieces.

Microsoft is sending me a replacement this week without me needing to pay to ship it back, which I appreciate. Hopefully its sticks will be fine.
Otherwise, this is a great controller. And it's not as if the stick issue is limited to just the Elite.

Ive been using this for a few months and its been great. I cant praise how comfortable and weighty it is enough.
I got an order off of the Microsoft Store Canada website on the 18th (maybe 19th?) and it's due to ship on the 29th.

Super thrilled to get mine tomorrow. Will playing wired make me a Halo 5 god compared to wireless?
AFAIK the controller only uses the USB cable for charging when playing on the XBone. It's still wirelessly connected.
Incorrect. Controller turns off radio once connected via cable. That's also the reason why they are no wired controllers being sold.
It's also reduced latency via usb

I'm pretty sure that the standard controller behaves in the same way, so you can try that for yourself if you have one.
How do you change trigger sensitivity?
When i try to change a config i have the following options.
Left Stick
Right stick
Triggers*
Vibration
Xbox button brightness
Swap sticks
Invert y axis
Swap triggers
*When i go into Triggers i can only adjust deadzones. No mention of sensitivity.

GameStop has the charging station bundle in stock online today. Just ordered one, since my Amazon order has been going nowhere fast since Nov 7.
I haven't tested this but I would assume that when you lower the Max value of the trigger range, the sensitivity increases.

Anyone using on PS4 with Cronus Max Plus?
Walked into the MS store today. They had one in stock. Couldn't resist. Miss Xbox controller that bad.
Seems pretty simple to get working.

Not totally sure, but they do show up as two different items on the invoice, so I think there's a good chance that you could.

Ha what? What good would that do since the elite bundle has a better hard drive too? Makes more sense to me to sell them separate since it would make them more money no?
Also amazon pulled the preorder setup for this that was shipping in december/january/spring/before the earth collides with the sun. Now in stock has had them showing up in a few places all day but before I could even log in they were gone. I had this damn thing preordered from amazon day one but when it came out I was broke.
Yeah, I had an Amazon pre-order super early but canceled it because I wasn't sure if this would be worth it. Really kicking myself now. Didn't know it'd be so damn difficult to get.

I have one. It's awesome to use it on ps4. Make sure to upload the script to one of your slots that remaps share button.

Yep, I am and it's working flawlessly. I just can't go back to a normal controller now.
Huh, that's kinda cool!

Getting the Elite would be the way to go because it will enhance all of your current games and any future games you plan to buy. It is expensive, but well worth the investment.
