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.
Possibly using the older V1 app? There's a new one for the V2 that has the additional functionality. I want to say the xbox prompts you to install though after connecting your controller for the first time.How you set that up? When I checked customization for keys and paddles it seemed like that you can only assign normal pad key functions to anything.
Thanks for the heads up!FYI They appear to be available still in the Microsoft Online store.

That might be something you can accomplish with reWASD. reWASD is paid-for software though. edit: there appears to be a free trial though (smart).Well that blows. I wouldn't mind binding RTSS hotkey for screenshots to pad.
Wow, that sucks. Sorry you can't find one.This thing is still so sold out in japan that I'm not sure any units ever actually made it here
another option...Thanks for the heads up!
Might see if I can grab one on Saturday.

wait for an update to reWASD for Elite Series 2 compatibility though...
I had the first generation of the the original. No broken shoulder buttons like a bunch had but my grips came off after a year, at first I though I could just glue them back on but when they come off the rubber stretches so I would have had to trim them then glue them back on. I'm using the white one now so hopefully they stay glued this time.Mine should here Monday. Feel better having a 3 year warranty on it. I never had any of the issues I've heard others have had with v1.
I would say if you think there's a problem, you shouldn't feel like a brat or any other pejorative if you think it's defective and take it back. Like you say it's a controller that costs 180 dollars. If it's not working fine you shouldn't feel bad for returning it.Question to people who own an Elite V2.
When you hold in the Sticks, and rotate around, do you feel any friction/grinding?
When I move the stick while holding it down, it's really rough and I feel like it's grinding on something. It's super smooth and great when using the stick normally, but holding it down it's super bad. Really bothers me when trying to play games that require inputs like this. My two Elite V1 didn't do this, and don't wanna be a brat and return the controller to my local GameStop, but... ya know, this feels really gross and it's $180 controller so I don't want a defected one.

Dang, that's disheartening to hear.I would say if you think there's a problem, you shouldn't feel like a brat or any other pejorative if you think it's defective and take it back.

That said... You mean like clicking in the stick and then rotating around when holding it in? I don't feel any grinding or anything when doing that. Hmmm... I guess I'll have to try it after adjusting the tension because I'm assuming most people tightened their sticks (I set mine to loosest). Give me a minute.
edit: nope. I doesn't feel as smooth as when I'm just using the stick when I'm holding the stick in (because I'm putting pressure on it I'd guess), but I don't feel any "grinding" sensation, even with the sticks at their tightest.
Dang, that's disheartening to hear.
I capture a quick video of it, probably hard to hear, but, yeah, this is really disappointing. It just feels so bad when I'm trying to walk and move around in games.
Reading up on Reddit, I'm not even sure I WANT to try my luck at another Controller... seeing reports of faulty BlueTooth/A buttons/Triggers. Compared to that, at least my controller functions... Disappointing, but I'll probably definitely try again. I love the Elite Controllers a ton, my favorite controllers by far and I definitely want to own one.
Just tested it with the taller sticks, and still makes that sound.Oh, that?
I think that's fine, honestly.
I think what's happening there is the stick head's rubber is actually rubbing on the edge of the ring or the actual face of the controller. I don't think that's the actual analog stick making the noise. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what's happening.
edit: maybe that's not what's happening, lol (hey, it's dark in here) but yeah, mine does that too.
whoops! sorry for double post. Meant to edit this in with my last...

That sucks. They really should just have a better warranty. I didn't want to take the chance that everything would be perfect again and figured for $20 it was a no brainier. Hope your white one holds up better!I had the first generation of the the original.

No Walmart near me : (Wow, that sucks. Sorry you can't find one.
Yeah, it looks like Amazon Japan and PlayAsia (does Play Asia even ship to Japan, lol? I don't actually know) have them but for way higher prices.
edit:
another option...
they are "Available for in-store pickup today" at my closest store. Maybe check and see if they are in stock nearest you?
Okay, maybe this is an incredibly dumb question... But maybe someone here can help out.
When I put the controller back on the charging station it doesn't charge. The little flap of fabric/cloth that covers the contacts prevents the connection from happening. I thought that maybe I'm supposed to remove the little flap of fabric, but it seems glued down, like it's supposed to be there. If I flip the flap out of the way the controller charges just fine.
I couldn't find a picture of the fabric flap anywhere online.
Do y'all have a fabric flap on your controller charger? Does it charge while the flap is in the way of the contacts? Maybe I'm supposed to just remove the fabric, and I'm a total dumb-dumb.
Whoop, well damn, I was just posting anything I could find lol. Hopefully you'll be able to get one fine though.
Someone posted a "fix" involving a straw, but some people in a reddit thread and in that Tim Rogers video posted earlier, they said they had to like "break it in" before it stopped being "stiff and sticky" but worked fine after that.My face buttons keep sticking when I press them, especially A. Is anyone else experiencing this? Wondering if I need to take it back.
Edit: Looks like this is a common issue. FFS Microsoft come on.
I figured, lol. It's just such a strangely nice piece of fabric, but I guess this did cost $180!
Yeah It's an issue I have with the original elite and the Gears 4 special edition version as well. Have gotten it yet with the V2 after messing with it for a few hours yesterday.My face buttons keep sticking when I press them, especially A. Is anyone else experiencing this? Wondering if I need to take it back.

http://www.brookaccessory.com/detail/07484504/How does this work with a game that has you touch the touch pad when using a Xbox controller? I am really thinking about getting the adapter as I still have my White Elite and also have my Elite V2. Thinking of using my original Elite on the PS4 but never heard of this before and just curious how it works. To power on the console, you hit/hold the PS button on the DS, do you just hold in the lighted "X" button and it functions the same way?
Ah okay, hope that's the case.Someone posted a "fix" involving a straw, but some people in a reddit thread and in that Tim Rogers video posted earlier, they said they had to like "break it in" before it stopped being "stiff and sticky" but worked fine after that.
Why did you have to do that? I am currently looking into getting that brock adapter. Does is not work with the Elite v2?Damn had to go back to the DS4 because of Death Stranding, not good.

You could try to configure hair triggers in the accessories software. Set either or both triggers to (0-1).Anyone know how to get the shortest trigger pulls to work? I cant get them to do anything when its that short. What's the point of having it that option then? I tried to configure to as small as possible, but won't even detect when i pull the triggers in the config menu when at the shortest. Sigh.
I did that. As I said, it wont even detect that im pressing the triggers in the settings.You could try to configure hair triggers in the accessories software. Set either or both triggers to (0-1).
