@@quietkid2584 I was playing on 20 for years on regular controller with kontrolfreeks. There are no ways for me to improve my aim significantly at the current state, but switching to Elite with mid tension made it even more comfortable to aim in general.
Brilliantly explained. From day one I've been trying to configure and find out what my preffered tension is along with thumbstick just kind of tackling it blindly. But you cast an educating light on it all
Great video. The longer thumbstick allows me to increase my sensitivity without "windmilling" all over the place. I've struggled with aiming because I'm a old bot. I'm getting better now. Thanks for the video
Thank you. I picked up my first elite today after my standard controller developed stick drift. I feel much more comfortable setting it up now. I really missed my 360 controller so this makes me even more excited about the pick up.
The tension on the thumb sticks was throwing off my shot some, and I needed to adjust it. All the way to the left worked perfectly for me. Thanks for the tips appreciate it.
The taller stick has a small diameter . This makes it harder to push it all the way over to the left. A bigger diameter thumb rest is easier to push over all the way because you don't have to reach as far with your thumb, remembering that the reach distance is greater on taller sticks. So I modified mine.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your informative videos. I literally just got home and unboxed my Elite Series 2 controller.

I've had the Series 1 for a number of years and my D-pad is now failing. I recently purchased a Series 2, and even though I have the Series 2 at the lowest thumbstick tension, it is still not as loose as my Series 1. I'm hoping that the Series 2 has a "break-in" period, and the thumbsticks become looser over time, because I've spent more time trying to adjust the thumbsticks, sensitivity curves, calculations, etc. than I ever did with my Series 1.
Same situation I’m in. Really messing my rainbow six siege aim up. Also had my series 1 for 5 to 6 years and only thing wrong was annoying stick drift.
I just watched your video on 2/1/24 & with that said I ty for this video because I just got a series 2 elite controller & I like them. I recommend people to watch this great video 🙂
The tension feature was groundbreaking for me. Thank you for pointing that out. I also now realise I should have noticed it in the manual, but all I saw was pictures, and I didn't bother.
wow! SO MANY xbox elite 2 videos and yet you're the only who actually mentions the benefits of the thumbsticks. thank you for NOT being a youtubber that only works for 'likes and subscribers'
Just got mine yesterday and thought they had put wrong thumb sticks in case with only haveing one domed and one long thin stick and them not been a pair. Your video is exactly what I was looking for 👍🏻
This is crazy, I was looking into this controller because I find my xbone sticks too tight! Coming from PS3/PS4 which are much looser and I feel a lot more control in shooters with less resistance pulling the stick back to the middle
Why can't Gaming companies get shit right? The 360 controller tension was perfect, now they are charging an arm and a leg for an Elite Controller that can achieve the same tension.
I wish they had a domed (Convex) tall thumbstick. I use the domed one on the right but I like the taller thumbstick on the left just a pity for me that it comes with only the concaved cap not the domed.
I prefer the short wide ones but they have no grip. I decided to buy some control freaks to see if my mind will change on taller ones with a wide head.
I enjoy your videos and I think your previous video regarding modern warfare best settings for elite 2 will help a lot of people. For me I love the tension option and have have mine at the max (two clicks).
I consider also buy an elite cause the tension on the normal Xbox one controller is garbage.. I’m constantly over aiming.. and first I was doubting myself but I guess it’s just the tention cause on the 360 I was on fire with the fps games..
I always rip the springs out of my Xbox controller because the deafult Xbox One analog stick is still way too stiff. If you cut the spring tension in half these things last just about forever, and it takes much longer for your hands to fatigue.
Im looking into controllers for competitive fps games . I like scuff and battle beaver , but I must say this xbox series 2 controller is the best on paper . I might buy it 🤔.
Thank you for the video, enjoyed it and useful, could use a video showing how the app works for programming sticks and triggers. I always see people saying you can adjust them here yet nobody ever explains what we're seeing on screen and what the trigger bars or sticks tracer lines mean. Blessings and happy holidays!
Do kontrol freeks fit on this controller ? My girl got me one for Christmas and I wanna grab a few pairs of KF as I been using them for yeaaaars. I hope they fit.
Yeah dude. That was one of the things I was worried about when I got the series 2, I had a TON of KFs. The elite controller already has a extended thumbstick on it, but only one. So if you use the two default thumb sticks you can use Kontrol Freeks. Hope this helps m8 ✌️
Wtf i didn’t know it had this option. I bought a broken used one that I fixed kudos to me😬 but I always felt the thumb sticks were too loose but this changes everything
STAYlN ALlVE i was in a pretty bad car wreck, flipped multiple times, the airbag blew my bottom fingers (pinky and one next to it on each side) apart so i have minimal movement. With the bigger ones i can use the sides of my fingers instead of pressing in .
Now I really like the tension of the xbox 360..but I would like even more...what would you suggest aggressive/smooth/ when playing golfing games where you really need to control either the left or right joystick..I want to have complete control..not have the stick go willy nilly left to right
Great video! What are the best curve settings for thumb sticks, right stick smooth, left stick aggressive that is my current setring but what are the benefits? I don't notice a great deal?
I noticed in call of duty modern warfare with my trigger stops at the lowest one in some gunfights my left trigger stops aiming and I don't even let go of it idk how to fix it
I have really big hands and I’m really rough on the left thumb stick of every controller I’ve ever had. Will this controller help me with the situation or is it just the same thing? The left stick just crunches down after a couple months of using it
if you mostly play FPS games with this issue i suggest turning on auto sprint in settings. no more clicking it every time to sprint, simply push forward.
I had to send mine back to Amazon because of the shortest "hair trigger lock" not registering any input. Other people are reporting the same issue as well. It sucks that I must wait till almost December to get my replacement due to Amazon having no stock due to per-orders.
Using the paddles for jumping and sliding allows me to never take my thumb off the aim joystick. That, combined with the hair triggers for semi-auto guns… oh man. You can just lay waste to people.
Quick question, I am a massive fan of the astro c40 thumb sticks (concaved). Which tension and thumb sticks should I use to get as close to those as possible?
Short on left and long on right. Dont ever use a concaved controller unless you want pain and worse aim. Youll need dommed subtly gripped thumbstick tops via control freaks.
put aftermarket thumbstick modules on my scuf xbox controllers. the ones i used they have treads on the top. so the thumbstick caps i need have to be treaded on. WHERE DO I FIND TREADED THUMBSTICK CAPS???????
Do your thumb sticks feel slightly loose? I got mine and instantly noticed that if I moved them very lightly in any direction, they don’t return to the center.
Dev Patel that happened recently on my elite 1, now it walks forward in games on its own (nice to not get kicked for inactivity) but really the reason i purchased the elite series 2. Try going into xbox accessories and use it to test everything, take off the thumbsticks and adjust tension, see if it does anything. If not try to play with the settings
I am watching this video investigating the same problem. I have to take my deadzones 0.08!! To not get drift when holding the controller vertical. I bought it on the 24th and am returning it tomorrow. They are looser than my regular xbox one controllers thumbstick and all my nintendo controllers (nintendo pro, hori and powera). I was glad to find out this is a defect. I want my deadzones at 0.05 with no drift or what's the point of spending so much money? Sorry to go on this was written on my phone.
I really don’t like this controller because the mechanisms that adjust the tension actually adds this weird dead zone and I feel its more digital while the series one felt really direct like my micro movements were being registered while this one feels ... just not as responsive i wanted to like this controller but its not cutting it for me . Anyone else feel this way or is there something wrong with my controller?
Dra B i know I literally had to lock mine away until i return it. Because my aim is off by a fraction constantly its the most frustrating thing ive ever experienced. Im 8k wraith on apex and this controller makes me under preform by miles just cant do it anymore. The old axis on the old controllers was perfect it feels like my inputs are registered to the nano meter. Im a laser beam with my broken version one elite that dosent charge. I ordered a scuff prestige (which uses the same axis as the elite one) and im replacing it with the elite d pad and thumbsticks! And im never touching this controller ever again. It makes me feel like i have potato aim i dont have time for it. Ive never got so mad at a controller in my life. Never again!!
Cole Bertram well I’m glad it’s not just me. I’m really surprised this isn’t being talked about more though. The most competitive controller on the market? Not even close. The elite 2 is nothing more than a poorly made gimmick.
Iv just bought one a month ago what would u say is better because i have mine In medium for both and theres a lil movement in game while the pad is not in my hand, im not sure if its the settings on the game or the controller
Hi there thankyou for your great vid. 9 i am having another problem the pad its self is coming loose while playing ( right stick)I basically have to turn it clockwise to tighten it. it gradully makes gets loos every game. so to be clear its the tick itself becoming lose..
Love your videos. I got a new elite 2 controller based on your vids. I noticed that my right thumb stick rotates clockwise and counterclockwise with the thumb sticks on it. Is this normal? My left thumb stick doesn’t rotate at all. Should I return mine?
@@TheNextGenNow Thanks for the reply. Based on your feedback, I was able to return the controller and exchange it for a new one. It works great now! Now I need to practice Halo using those paddles. It'll take time for sure to get that muscle memory down.
Good question - from experience I would say no as I have used a few Elite controllers for many months, often with more tension, and not had any issues.

Ive had my series 2 for almost a year and this is the first time I've heard about the adjustable stick tension
I just picked one of these up today. It feels so nice! I switched to the medium tension on the right thumb and the 360 style like you suggested!
This will help you stabilize high sensitivity with the tensions and use the high thumb sticks on the right stick and a lower one on your left
So are you telling me if I put me sens up to 20 in warzone and I have my tension mid will I be able to aim good
@@quietkid2584 I was playing on 20 for years on regular controller with kontrolfreeks. There are no ways for me to improve my aim significantly at the current state, but switching to Elite with mid tension made it even more comfortable to aim in general.

Tightened tension with a the tall flat analog stick on the right side is great for slow aim. A game like rainbow six siege for instance.
Which sensitivity do u use on rainbow?
@Futureshadow395 thx but i already found my sensitivity
Is there a way to fix how hard you have to push down on the stick to make it register? Like clicking it

I’m just trying to make the joysticks feel like a normal controller and it’s impossible for me to
Is there any difference between the elite two and elite two core other than the color?
Love your videos. I got a new elite 2 controller based on your vids. I noticed that my right thumb stick rotates clockwise and counterclockwise with the thumb sticks on it. Is this normal? My left thumb stick doesn’t rotate at all. Should I return mine?
Thanks! That doesn't happen on my controller, if it doesn't seem right I would get in touch with wherever you purchased it from.
@@TheNextGenNow Thanks for the reply. Based on your feedback, I was able to return the controller and exchange it for a new one. It works great now! Now I need to practice Halo using those paddles. It'll take time for sure to get that muscle memory down.
@@jragadio That's great, good luck!
Will more tension have a higher chance of causing stiff drift with more resistance ?
Good question - from experience I would say no as I have used a few Elite controllers for many months, often with more tension, and not had any issues.
does the click tension change too?
Didn’t even know that was the purpose of the tool
Thank you 🙏
do the kontrolfreek precision rings work the same way as the tensions?
Problem is, these are only available with the black kit. The standalone accessories lack the tool
Just a flathead
