How to Configure an XBOX Elite Series 2 Controller (Radial Axis-Independent Sensitivity Curve Shift)

Highly-detailed guild to the configuration menu options for the XBOX Elite Series 2 Controller using the Accessories App and console menu. I discuss how to customize settings and explain what they actually do. I show mapping, stick sensitivity curves, radial and axis-Independent calculation, trigger adjustments, vibration settings, and changing the glowing color of the X-box button.

Got drift on your Elite? You may be able to fix it yourself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ_FoaSJl72jnbs

[@davidcovington1945]

I swear I was looking for a video exactly like this for two days. Thank you so much.

[@zebcreed]

Found your vid more helpful than any other site or written explanations, thanks!!!

[@scottsmall9898]

One of the best videos I've seen describing most of the setting on the elite series 2 controller. Thanks

[@HowToX]

I appreciate the compliment.

[@okaySam]

Great video! Appreciated the detailed explanations on the response curves! Keep up the good work!

[@havenmakes]

Nice video. Thanks for the level of detail, especially on the calculations.

[@KillSwitch96]

Dude I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video it helped my aim immediately had no idea that's why it felt weird come to find out I'm playing in hard mode lol thus helped me really dial my stuff in

[@matthewkorba1564]

I've been looking for something to explain The thumbstick sensitivity stuff for a year. This is by far the best video I've found thank you very much.

[@HowToX]

Wow, thanks!

[@bryanfelix14]

Wonderful video! Bravo, my friend.

[@Eros_Ro]

Increible, llevo buscando esto en español pero no hay nada, primer video en 4 años desde que adquiri el control que finalmente explica perfecto las sensibilidades del joystick. :D

[@juniorwar6476]

Awesome! Thanks you! Perfect description

[@akarhelig5008]

beautiful explanation you are great thank you

[@hotdogmanful]

Finally got back to console gaming and ordered a custom elite 2 controller and it felt wack. Changing to axis diagonal fixed it very cool

Thank you!!

I use my controller on smooth sensitivity is 8 for racing games & 4 for fps games . It makes a difference big time! No other controller has this which tops most controllers.

[@mazcartel6274]

HELLO WORLD - THNKS FRO THIS VIDEO

[@Dhundz]

I have messed around with all the elite series 2 stick settings and i have come to an agreement that putting it on instant and put the curve to the lowest makes it feel like its zero delay

[@johnno1728]

Would you say that is the best for fps games?

[@theniceguy4932]

So that’s why my elite feels different to my Normal controller cheers mate

[@nicolasdaigle6816]

Can you adjust total sensitivity with a shift button? I would love to be able to press a paddle to increase sensitivity so i can turn around quickly without sacrificing accuracy. Having it on a more delayed setting kind of works, but if i slip a little, it flies out of control.

[@dae907]

i just recently purchased this controller and i’ve never had to mess with the settings before involving the left and right sticks. the controller works well but i play texas chainsaw and when i go into the mini lock picking game moving the left stick mainly it moves uncontrollably to the point i cannot pick the lock.. how would i fix this? i’ve been into the settings of the game and the controllers but can’t resolve it

[@OICru]

How do you map the paddles to being their own unique buttons? I bought the controller specifically because it offers 20 input options, compared to 16 with normal ones.

[@mito.mp3]

had the same problem here! the only solution ive found is mapping them to keys on your keyboard

[@CellChaos-vw5pg]

This controller would be way better if you could bind the paddles to keys other than just whats on the controller. Would be awesome for flight sims!

[@paulgonzales3305]

What would be a good settings for apex

[@Djv728]

What does shift mean and primary, and how do I move from primary to shift

[@321homewrecker]

I'm always under or over correcting with aim. Im still unable to get it down so hopefully this will help? So should i put both left and right on axis-independent? I have it on true diagonals and right on instant.

[@johnno1728]

Yes put both on axis independentl, left stick on instant 4, me personally I keep the right stick default, left trigger is 1-15 right 1-5 that genuinely feels like default pad

[@commandermaverick1487]

[@Skill.GODSENT]

hi, I have a question, I just finished configuring the controller but I can't understand how to start an acquisition, which button should I use? Thank you

[@HowToX]

I'm not sure what you mean by acquisition.

[@Skill.GODSENT]

@@HowToX start recording video

[@iTzIronPedro]

So radial it's like linear in some games better for masule memory imo

[@M-8o5]

can anyone tell me how to change it to where i can move my character with the right analog stick because i can only use one hand and i know how to do it with the regular controller but not this one

[@iTzIronPedro]

go to mapping tab

[@user-gs8gm5wu4o]

Are the profiles stored in the controller or the console? Like, if I set up a profile on my console, and then took the controller to a friends house and connected to his console, would the controller remember the profile and keep the settings?

[@johnno1728]

No cause the controller is configurated with your own console

What would be good for PUBG ?

[@Sennarzz]

I had terrible experience with elite 2. My stock series controller feels a lot faster, seems to have less input lag, and the sticks seem to have less deadzone. In overwatch its less noticeble, but in cod its clear, switching back to the stock controller. I tried every setting on elite 2, but nothing appears to be like the stock. The aim feels "heavy", plus it has stick drift right after 2 months. Never drifted in overwatch, but this mf did it, congrats 😂

[@Maverick19789]

Anyone now how much different this is from the series x controller? Just picked this up and I cannot aim or anything like I could on my series x one so I just need to get used to it?

[@HowToX]

Try making some changes to the stuff shown at 11:17 if you haven't already.

[@Maverick19789]

@@HowToX i’ve tried everything. I can only use normal controller xd I just put my elite 2 back in its box lol

[@MarcoInvo]

You said you would show everything....but i didn't see anything about Macro. I'm new to controllers and i would like to know if they can do more than a gaming mouse that i can fully customize. Remapping buttons is nice but i don't need 2 buttons for Y or for any other command. I want to see if Macro are what i intend: example, in a game to access the inventory i have to press RB then move left lever UP and then press A. is it possible to record these 3 commands and assign the macro to a button to open the inventory?

[@HowToX]

Is that in the configuration menu, because that's the only thing this video covers.

[@TOMMY_bmw]

guys, this is all great, but what should I use radially, regardless of the axis or real diagonals?) This question constantly confuses me. I play COD and The division 2

[@HowToX]

If you are not sure, use axis independent, since that is the norm for all other controllers.

No it doesn’t bro. You must be doing something wrong

[@jacketnipple]

Can you quick switch profiles with the paddles?

[@HowToX]

No. Profile switching can only be done with the little button in the middle of the controller. I could always be wrong, but I went through the entire configuration menu and see no option for doing that.
