    I'd recommend starting on 2 paddles and progressing onto 4. Worked for me. Also gears 4 is a great game for getting the hang of it.

    Yeah, I couldn't resist the deal in Argos either, had one on my wishlist for ages and seeing as I wanted GOW4 as well it was a no brainer.

    Wanted a second controller anyway as my brother is calling for a few days over Christmas - sign up for EA Access and have some craic playing a few sports games. I of course will have dibs on the Elite ;)

    Anyone have trouble with the buttons sticking? My Y button is kind of sticking and it's only about six weeks since I bought it bought it. Lightly used.

    Mine is perfect and have it ages with a lot of hours use.

    I'd say return it for a replacement.

    Unboxed my one that I bought recently as part of the Argos deal. Jesus, it's a nice piece of kit, everything feels very premium about it and I guess it would want to for the price.

    Getting adjusted to the paddles is a big change.

    I'll bring it back tomorrow. Button is fine if I press fast multiple times but hold it down and it feels slow to come back up

    I think he means the play and charge kit. The battery with the long USB charging cable.

    I'd go with the official play and charge kit. I think its about €21 in Argos. I still have mine since day 1 November 2013 and its still got an amazing charge in it.

    I got mine packed in with an extra controller, as I needed the controller anyway.

    I have been using the Elite since I got it but I cant say that I am impressed, the only thing I like about it is the alternative thumbsticks, thats about it.

    What? Are you on drugs :confused:

    The build quality is much better, swappable thumbsticks, paddles, adjustable triggers and textured grips, they all add up to a much better controller than the original and I really find it hard to use a standard one now.

    I dont know, I'm probably just used to the Standard one, I keep going back to it and tend to forget I have the Elite.
    I tried the button mapping for some games, I was under the impression that the paddles could be used as extra buttons for certain things and not a replacement.
    Like I had one set for throwing a grenade in a game which meant the right trigger did nothing, what if I wanted it to do something? What if I wanted the paddle to throw a grenade and RT to shoot my gun. I'm just using this as an example.

    But how would you assign the paddles new buttons? Would the developer of the game not need to create an option in their game for additional buttons?

    They......well.......I'm an idiot, I assumed that I could just add the extra buttons in the button mapping

    No I agree with you, it'd be nice to have a few extra buttons but I don't think it'd be possible without the developers allowing us to assign extra buttons.

    The best way I've found to set my controller is have A, B, X, Y on the paddles and then I never have to take my fingers off the thumbsticks.

    Quick Question: Technically I don't have an Elite controller yet, but I reckon I'm on the Good List 2016


    Does the paddle replace the function of the original button, leaving the original button doing nothing, or do both buttons still function interchangeably? (e.g. you can use RT or paddle for accelerate)

    I've mine set so bottom right paddle is A but the face button also works.

    I need to mess around with the button mapping, is it possible to assign the thumbstick button press to the paddles.
    Like in some games pressing the thumbstick down will let you look behind you, can this be assigned and still use the thumbstick to move?

    For every game I play I create a profile and map buttons to the 4 paddles. It gives me a great advantage in multiplayer games.
