Key points
- Improved version of Xbox Elite Wireless Controller with interchangeable back paddles, D-pads and adjustable-tension thumbsticks, as well as shorter, 3-step trigger locks.
- Controller can be used wired (via USB-C) or wirelessly with the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows (supports up to 8 controllers)[1] or Bluetooth connection.
- Internal, rechargeable battery with up to 40 hours of battery life per charge. Battery life varies with usage and other factors.
- The controller allows button-mapping using the Xbox Accessories App on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows 10.
- Natively supported by most modern games.
- Steam, reWASD, and JoyShockMapper allow assigning paddles to keyboard and mouse actions or macros.
- Physical switch on controller toggles presets on the fly. Three configs can be stored locally on controller and 256 configs in the cloud.
- Official software allows duplicating existing buttons on the controller and assigning them to paddles. For more advanced configuration it's recommended to use third party applications.
- Many (most?) units have face buttons misaligned from the PCB (particularly the A button), which can result in button presses being undetected from time to time.[2]. In response, Microsoft has extended the warranty period from 90 days to 1 year[3], but chances of getting a controller without the defect are low.

Controller variations
Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 - Core
- Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 - Core is a cheaper version of the controller. It has white color with black grips. While all of the functions of the standard Elite Series 2 is left intact, it is missing back paddle plates, a cross D-pad, a charging stand, additional stick caps and a carrying case. Those missing items are available separately as Complete Component Pack.
Use with PC platforms
Windows
- Connecting the controller should automatically download and install latest drivers for the controller.
- Configuration is available only in Xbox Accessories tool which is available on Windows 10.
- Custom application reWASD lets remap whole controller and works on Windows 7 or newer. Software gives advanced customization options eg. reassigning paddles to keyboard or mouse actions, macros, activate custom modes etc.
Steam
- Paddles and buttons can now be remapped through Steam controller settings. Hold down the profile select button for a few seconds to select the default profile. Then enable the extended Xbox controller support in Steam and you are able to map the paddles independently.
reWASD
- Paddles and Guide button can be remapped.
- Alows to activate Impulse Trigger Vibration.
- Allows emulate virtual DS4 controller to play PS4 Remote Play, PS Now or Dualshock 4 compatible games.
- Not free of charge. 7-days trial.
- Custom configs for Xbox Elite controller can be found in official Community Configs Library maintained by reWASD users.
OS X
- Use the 360Controller custom driver.
Linux
- Natively supported by distros using Linux kernel 4.7 or later.[4]
Steam
- Steam has ability to bind the Xbox Elite controller Paddles in controller configurations, the ability to bind the Share button in controller configurations and support for Trigger rumble in games using Windows.Gaming.Input API.[5]
- Configuration applied by official Xbox Accessories App or reWASD is coexisting with Steam. Steam Input does not overwrite their configuration.
Steam Link compatibility
- Works without any drivers on any operating system that supports Steam.
- Can be used just to send input from a controller to a PC. Go into Streaming options, hit 𝗬 and disable video and audio streaming.
- Controller connected via USB works as expected.[6]
- Won't work great unless you connect it to LAN or a low latency Wi-Fi.
Support in games
- Natively supported by most modern games via XInput. Controller in old games can be recognized as Xbox 360 Controller.
Impulse Trigger Vibration
For a list of games, see List of games that support Xbox One impulse triggers.
- The impulse triggers of the Xbox One Controller are two independent rumble motors located within each of the triggers, allowing developers to selectively vibrate the trigger when the player is performing an action that warrants such a feedback, such as firing a gun or charging an attack.
- The XInput API does not expose this functionality. Games making use of the rumble motors uses the Windows.Gaming.Input API instead.
- There is no available application which translates adaptive triggers haptic feedback signals into basic impulse trigger vibration.
- The third-party DLL injection-based tool X1nput can be used to convert the normal vibrations of a game to impulse trigger vibration in many single player games.
Games with Impulse Trigger Vibration support
- Total number of games: Error 1140: In aggregated query without GROUP BY, expression #1 of SELECT list contains nonaggregated column 'pcgamingwiki_cargo.cargo__Input._pageID'; this is incompatible with sql_mode=only_full_group_by (mysql01.mysql.pcgamingwiki-14662257-production.svc.cluster.local)
Function: CargoSQLQuery::run Query: SELECT `cargo__Input`.`_pageID` AS `cargo_backlink_page_id_Input`,`cargo__Infobox_game`.`_pageID` AS `cargo_backlink_page_id_Infobox_game`,COUNT(*) FROM `cargo__Infobox_game` LEFT OUTER JOIN `cargo__Input` ON ((`cargo__Infobox_game`.`_pageName`=`cargo__Input`.`_pageName`)) WHERE `cargo__Input`.`Xbox_One_Impulse_Triggers`='true' OR `cargo__Input`.`Xbox_One_Impulse_Triggers`='limited' OR `cargo__Input`.`Xbox_One_Impulse_Triggers`='hackable' ORDER BY `cargo__Input`.`_pageID`,`cargo__Infobox_game`.`_pageID`,COUNT(*) LIMIT 100
.
- Number of games which Impulse Trigger Vibration is limited and feature support is still not a PC standard.
- Games with DualSense's Adaptive Triggers support are mostly not compatible with Impulse Triggers and there is no application which translates both signals into one standard.
| Native support | Limited native support | Always on | Requires manual fix | No native support |
Games with LED lights support
- Number of games which support LED lights is limited and LED lights support is still not a PC standard. There is no game which supports Xbox Elite 2's LEDs natively.
- Aurora, a third party, open source solution for handling RGB lighting, does not support this controller.
- Steam Input configuration allows control of the LED lights.
- reWASD application shows battery state and which config is applied by changing LED lights colors (5 presets). All the presets can be changed in Preferences in the LED settings tab.
