BEST SETTINGS for ELITE 2 CONTROLLER | Xbox Hardware

The Xbox Elite Series 2 has finally arrived and the level of customisation is INCREDIBLE. It can be quite intimidating to know where to get started, so in this video Benny takes us through some of his personal preferences for games like Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Apex Legends and Forza Horizon 4.

FPS Profile:
Thumbsticks -1x regular Xbox one thumbstick on the left-hand side, 1x tall thumbstick for the right. Set the controller to high thumbstick tension.

Paddles - 2x mini paddles on the back. The left paddle is always my ‘A’ button so I can jump easier, and then my right paddle changes from B in Modern Warfare to mount my weapon and melee, to up on the D-Pad in Apex Legends so that I can easily access my shields and meds.

Hair trigger locks - highest setting, allowing me to press my triggers as quickly as I can. Paired with going into the Xbox accessories app and making triggers dead zone as short as possible to make them super reactive.

Disable the controller's vibration on the off chance that it could throw my aim off slightly.

Then, I make my left thumbstick sensitivity curve instant, so I’m able to make in game movement as fast and reactive as possible.

Racing Profile:
Two of the medium paddles on the back of the controller. The top left is for shifting down gears and then the right for shifting up. You can also put a mini paddle on the top left to act as your handbrake which works especially well in drift races.

Thumbsticks - use 2x regular Xbox one thumbsticks and then have no hair trigger lock on my right trigger so I can control acceleration as much as possible. Then on the left trigger, I do the exact same.

On the left thumbstick, change the sensitivity curve to be instant, to maximise those reactions in tight races.

Maximise the vibration. So you can really feel the road, feel the car braking and have the best drive that you can.

Media Profile:
Take advantage of that new shift key functionality - Having up and down on the d-pad to change TV volume, right on the D-Pad to launch YouTube and then Left on the D-Pad launch Netflix.

You can of course edit this to what you watch most. I then make the X button mute the TV. This is actually the only setup that I don’t use any paddles on, but I’d suggest adding a paddle for every media app that you have on your console!

This Controller is straight flames, this is killing PlayStation.

[Jacaerys]

Hope some one comes up with a good set up for Destiny 2 or Starwar Battlefront 2. Please and thank you lol.

I love this controller, best controller I have ever owned. Worth every penny. 💪🏿

[samfrito]

I've used the series 2 back and forth with the normal xb1 controller. I can see a huge difference in the precision for sure. Still the normal controller is no slouch. Series 2 is the best controller to date.

For FPS I love putting sprint (L Stick Click) on the back left. Don't have to ever push down on the stick. Then A and B on the right side back.

For each of my active profiles, I have assigned a shift key to a paddle that I do not intend to use and then I assigned a shift function to the right shoulder button to launch the app for which I have that profile set up for. I have this consistent across all three profiles (currently Modern Warfare, the Outer Worlds, and Dishonored 2). All I have to do is select my profile, hold my shift paddle + RB and (boom) it launches the game for me. I like this because I don’t even have to be looking at my screen to know that I’ve just started up the game that I wanted to. What’s cool is that if I accidentally press that combination again (while in that profile’s game), it doesn’t screw anything up because the game is already launched.

I have also assigned a shift function to D pad up to record/capture what I just did in a game, D pad down to take a screenshot, and D pad left and right to turn TV volume up and down. I’m really liking it!

Just got mine omg this controller will go perfect with my soon to be in my arms xbsx😱🤯

[bigdaddylongcock]

For me it feels wrong to have the left trigger lock on minimum

[biasianss]

am i the one only who keeps accidentally hitting the pedals when i don’t mean to?

[tonyvrd]

This controller is a nightmare to use if you have steam installed...

[Morbidia]

I love xbox one controllers so much i use them over my different systems.

[nicirving]

Ok u say a lot about the shift key but never show us how to actually use the damn shift key

[themchannel]

@4:48 I'll bet Mayonnaise is too spicy as well.

[prequall]

Thanks, when i got this i had no idea how to work it ( change stick tension etc).

[vperkv]

It would be really really nice to have a video on youtube tht freaking explains wht true diagnal, radial and independent axis setting really mean. I cant find 1 fcking thing about it and not one person brings the sht up. I mean seriously, i can only search so much.

[Xander-wibu]

Is it just me or does he remind e of Ali-a 😂🤣

[jessiejames]

Absolutely loving the elite 2, the tension on the analogue sticks is fantastic.

[mrmarc]

Thanks for this. Just what I wanted, I have the 2.0 but am new to Elite series and want to get the most out of it. It is fantastic.

[OhHesCracked]

The shift button is gonna be so cracked for MMOs

[HawkNocturnal]

But man I feel like the series x should’ve got backpaddles and hair triggers with the controller. Just bought the series x and u really need back buttons to do fps good! 😊
