Someone posted this to me earlier in the thread. I thanked them, but I still haven't gotten around to fully reading the terms yet.Can you post a link to that. I tried to find it but couldn't . I bought mine and Best Buy if that matters? Thanks
Yeah, I'm the same way and did the same thing with the old. It feels great to have the extra profiles now and not have to dive into the Xbox Accessories app as often now.people like me you used default (no costum settings for random games ) and one profile that I was constantly switching for my games. Now I have default / cod / smite / gears 5 currently
Yes. Works fine with the dongle.Watching the Tim Rogers review before going to bed last night was a really bad idea. I've used the hell out of my Series 1 controller the past two years, and everything he talked about in his video seemed like great improvements.
I see that a lot of people are having a lot of issues with bluetooth though. Does the controller still work fine on PC when using the old Xbox One wireless controller adapter, and when connected wirelessly to an Xbox One? I don't need bluetooth to work as long as the classic way is still functional. (Though I won't be getting one of these for a while, so hopefully any problems are ironed out by then)
I haven't used other curves because I'm so used to how analog sticks work by default lol.Does anyone have some kind of tutorial about the thumbstick sensitivity curve set up ? What does it do exactly ? What's the difference between instant/aggressive/smooth.. ?
I'll echo this. It works perfectly fine and how you'd expect it to work with the dongle.Yes.

Oh yeah! I would contact support before paying for that and clarifying something NowhereFaded

Going to have to wait until after Xmas but, GODDAMN, it's a beautiful bit of kit. Pls be compatible with Scarlet.
Great! Glad you're able to get one soon!Just got a email from Best buy that it arrived a day early!!!! Hyped!! Picking it up after work and then breaking it in on Destiny
I have like 6 Best buy's all within 20 minutes of each other, I went to the one down the block though. They had them in stock but only for pre orders. So when I got denied....when did this come out? Monday? Last Friday? I pre ordered right there in the parking lot on my phone with a delivery date for Friday and got here a day early. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ that's a quick turn around.Great! Glad you're able to get one soon!
I don't really play Destiny anymore, but I still had to boot it up when I got my Series 2. Destiny is just so intertwined with the Elite controller to me that even when I tried it on PC, it felt weird unless I used an elite even though I'm a big fan of mouse/keyboard (especially for shooters). This new elite has actually got me contemplating jumping back in for a while to do the weekly tasks to slowly power my way up from 750. The game just feels so good with an elite.
I didn't expect them to sell out. I guess like you can still buy them at Target, but looking at the page it would seem like they don't actually have them or something (ship to store has a pickup of a week from now). It appears Amazon and Best Buy are back-ordered too (Best Buy the site, I could drive 68 miles away to get one apparently). Microsoft's Online Store still has them in stock, at least.
I guess I wouldn't know for sure, but it still seems that during the first elite's launch it was way harder to get one if you didn't have one pre-ordered. Guess they probably didn't make that much back then because there wasn't any history of people hungry over a 150 dollar controller before?
Just got my Brook today. Messed around with it using a regular X1 controller and I can't believe how seamless it is. Very happy with my purchase. Can't wait for the Elite S2 compatibility firmware update.Brook Converter Update
I got in contact with Brook directly about the Elite Version 2. They said a patch for the Elite 2 is coming soon but didn't give an ETA.

What's the difference between regular and tournament (TE) firmwares?

The pink one. This is the listing I bought from. This will let you use Xbox One controllers on the PS4.Hi what brook is the right one to get,Amazon has a few different ones
Thanks

These adjustable stick resistance is simply a revelation, I can loosen the walking stick and tighten the aim stick. Bloody amazing.
Not sure if this has always been there, but you can use the paddles as a shift button, for secondary commands. I've now got screenshot + video record available without my thumbs lifting away from the sticks.
You can, but on Windows 10 (and I'm assuming you can do it inside the Xbox One's menus) you can lower the level of the vibrations. I noticed how loud the rumble in my old controllers were a couple months back and being able to control the levels of them was one of the main reason I got this thing to be honest (adjustable tension is real nice too). At full speed, they're still loud, but I dropped the level down to 50 and it's been great.I've got one specific question for owners of this controller. Can you hear the rumble motors at all? I ask because on both my XB1 controllers when a game pushes maximum vibration to the controller I can hear a buzz and I find this quite annoying if I'm playing with the tv volume low.
I don't know why they don't say the difference anywhere on the Brook website. Seems like something that should be in the firmware descriptions, IMO.What's the difference between regular and tournament (TE) firmwares?
Will the Nintendo Switch power adapter work for charging this thing, for the dock? I think it's the only extra USB C power brick that I own. I remember something funky in regards to the Nintendo one not being full power or something?
edit: or would the iPad Pro power brick be better? I'm a USB C noob.
edit2: ooooh I have an extra USB port on a Belkin power strip. Would that work? Does THAT have to be USB C?
Thanks. I was just wondering if they made similar buzzing sounds at max vibration like the general controllers do.You can, but on Windows 10 (and I'm assuming you can do it inside the Xbox One's menus) you can lower the level of the vibrations.

Yeah, I was just using my old paddles at first but I swapped the new ones back in for some Destiny just to give them a while and see if I'd like the smaller paddles after some time with them.So the paddles are smaller!! That took some getting used to.
Not use to holding it in my hand either seems very slick. Have to set up the charging station been using it wired all night.
I really like that video and have watched it a few times more simply because I think he's pretty funny (I commented elsewhere basically that he almost reminds me of a grown up Max Fisher doing video game videos). This was my first time seeing a video of his and I'm now a fan.

Something he mentioned that I didn't know existed was the "software stick drift prediction" or whatever that supposedly will help prevent stick drift in the controller's analog sticks. I really hope that as a solution works.
I have a dedicated PC and XBOX ONE elite V1 controllers too (white and black ones respectively) because I don't like dealing with re-syncing either lol, but I'll wait until a white Series 2, or any kind of variant until I buy another (I already bought 2 lol).

I'm sorry, I never noticed it, but I never really listened for it either. You could always turn down the intensity of the rumble motors in the Xbox Accessories app, but I'm not sure if that would completely get rid of the noise to be honest. (fake edit: just checking via the app, the regular vibration motors aren't noticeable, but it's the trigger rumber motors that really make an annoying sound when activated)I've got one specific question for owners of this controller. Can you hear the rumble motors at all? I ask because on both my XB1 controllers when a game pushes maximum vibration to the controller I can hear a buzz and I find this quite annoying if I'm playing with the tv volume low.
I assumed it would notice if the stick was never actually center, but would always be slightly off or something it'd re-calibrate its center to accommodate the drift. I'm actually not sure how I feel about the deadzone expanding if that's how it worked, because using the "delayed" stick curve when my first elite got drift before I fixed it didn't really help that much (although, I guess that doesn't really do anything to the deadzone, just adjusts the curve for the "intensity" of the movement in the short movements...).WRT the "software stick drift prediction," my guess is that it'll detect and compensate unintended drifting when the stick is in neutral position. Probably akin to slightly expanding the deadzone by a few percentage points.
Yeah, I haven't messed with shift functions just yet (I'm sure it'll drive me nuts with all the tinkering I'll get around to doing with it lol), but I'm pretty confident that it's going to become more and more a "killer feature" for this thing as time goes on and people figure out how best to use it.I just tried out the shift function tonight with Forza Horizon 4, and wow that feature is so ingenious. I normally have my paddles configured to dpad (for radio controls) and shift gears, but with the shift function I have it mapped now so when I hold LB I can also use those paddles to take a screenshot, record video and rewind. I can't wait to set this up for other games.

I dunno, I guess i'm just used to the larger paddles by now, but I can see that they'd probably be better for people new to using paddles since it makes then harder to hit accidentally.
