![]() This time, the gamepad suffers from a face button issue where in my case, the Y button only works roughly 85 percent of the time. GAMEPAD COMPANION REDDIT SERIESAs far as I could tell, I was good to re-enter Infinite‘s Arena with confidence in my gamepad’s performance.įast forward 24 hours and here I am with yet another faulty Elite Series 2 controller. Everything looked fine, but just to be sure, I tested out all of the buttons with the Accessories app on the Series X. I picked up my fresh Elite Series 2 remote from Best Buy and eagerly took it out of its box. I figured getting roughly three years out of a controller isn’t really that bad, and at this point, I’m hooked on using the paddles for Halo Infinite. Like any irrational rational person, I then decided to buy an entirely new Elite Series 2 despite being aware of the pricey gamepad’s apparent all-too-common manufacturing flaws. Unfortunately, none of these methods worked, leading me to conclude that the actual switch in the gamepad was faulty. Once again, I popped the gamepad open and attempted several tricks I dug up on the internet, ranging from taking a small piece of plastic out of the switch that controls the bumper to simply just cleaning around the button. Then, following an evening of playing NHL 22 and feeling like my player’s ability to poke check was entirely non-existent, I realized the Elite’s right bumper was unresponsive. ![]() Surprisingly, this solved my problem, and I was clicking away with joy. This somehow didn’t solve my issue, leading me to add a small dab of super glue to each bump. So, I went to Microsoft’s support site and ordered a complete set of replacement paddles because you can’t purchase the extra buttons individually (there are a few third-party Amazon sellers, though). The tiny bump on the base of the paddle just isn’t tall enough to reach the buttons on the rear of the Elite. Again, after falling into a YouTube hole, this seems to be a common issue with the Elite Series 2. In fact, they occasionally didn’t even work at all. After I dug out its paddles from a drawer, I was shocked to discover that they somehow didn’t click when I pressed them. This has upped my game considerably and I’m finally able to aim and jump with ease.īut back to the ongoing saga surrounding the Series 2. ![]() To get around this, I’ve started using the Series 2’s two upper paddles: the right is programmed to jump and the left is tied to reload. Because I’ve always used Halo‘s default control scheme, I find it challenging to transition to ‘Bumper Jumper,’ a button layout that uses the shoulder button to jump instead of the A button. ![]()
