Me too. I love my Elite controller, but I hardly ever get to use it because I'm rarely on my Xbox.

I received a game invite from you Monday night for doubles. I thought that was a little strange, but went for it. However, for some reason you sounded a lot like Korny lol

Lol! Yeah Korny volunteered to do me a favor because he loves me so much :)

Not letting go of your right stick I find is a huge benefit when jumping and sliding. Reloading or changing weapons have animation "cooldowns" that give you more time to get your thumb back and do the adjustments.

Your right hand is used to doing a lot, so you can deal with Y and X. The question is if the paddles messes up your aim, and/or makes you randomly press them while flinching in those clutch moments. I would suggest using one paddle each side, or two om the left only.

Lately I'm finding that I don't use the paddles much except for Sprint. I can't titan skate as fast with the paddles as I can on the A button. I may have to re-think my controller layout. The other problem is that I always forget that I can use the paddles, so I get used to just using the top buttons. Finally, I sometimes go play on my wife's controller and she has hers set differently which makes it hard to stick with my settings. Then again, she doesn't use the second profile so maybe I'll take that one over and I can just flip the switch to get my control layout back.

Something about turncoats and blasphemy!

What, for being on the PS4? I'm been there since the alpha or maybe the pre-alpha? Pretty damn early.

Anyway, I use the paddles for sprinting. Nothing more, or less. Having to hold the stick in while waiting for my character to figure it out is pure thumb agony. I assigned all paddles to sprint so no matter which one I press, they run and they run NOW.

Personally, I've got no problem pressing the thumb stick or moving my forefingers between the triggers or bumpers. (Never have mastered the Ottermack two-finger technique.) For me, the only benefit of paddles is not having to remove your thumbs from the sticks.

I used to set the upper ones to match the bumpers, but much like uno, that meant a lot of premature throwing. So I disabled it.

I've settled on the following layout using the default controller scheme.

Upper Right: A/Jump
Upper Left: B/Duck-Slide

It would be extremely handy if I could map X to a lower paddle for elimination gametypes for revives. I just can't get used to more than two paddles at this time.

Upper left paddle: A
Lower left paddle: X
Upper right paddle: B
Lower right paddle: Y

Upper left paddle: X
Lower left paddle: Y
Upper right paddle: A
Lower right paddle: B

Upper left paddle: Y
Lower left paddle: X
Upper right paddle: A
Lower right paddle: B

I'm leaning toward the last one.

It's been kind of tough going. I'm holding the controller a little differently than usual and though I like the paddles when I remember to use them, I'm still flailing when I need them most. I've created a setting that disables the real buttons, which is forcing me to use the paddles. Any other tips?

I'm not completely comfortable using the lower left paddle because I have some numbness in my left ring finger (due to an old nerve injury). I think I can use it, but I might end up taking the lower left paddle off and using one of the buttons normally. Any nominees for which button doesn't get assigned? I'm thinking X or B.

I'm thinking of using this for Destiny of course, but I'm curious to hear from those of you who have successfully rewired your brain. Does it carry over to other games? What happens when you go back to old games?
