Occasionally, I'll get questions on why controllers with paddles exist, and its a simple concept that I'll be explaining in todays video. Short and sweet 😊

Claw controller

@ethanmiller2967 3 года назад

around a year or two ago I made the choice to learn to play claw on a stock xbox controller. It took a week or so to become efficient with and I played that way up until 1 month ago when I got the wolverine te. Skip the pain and hard work, spend an extra 20 on a pro controller.

Playing claw is just something you're born with, like I have skinny fingers and I don't find holding the controller normally doesn't give me an edge in competitive games. So the way I play claw is a bit more comfortable than playing normal (for me at least), I have my pointing finger on the A,B,X,Y buttons and my middle finger lays in between the RB and RT buttons so I can easily reload after shooting or slide cancel without keeping my thumb off the right analog stick.

if you dont have paddles make jump LB and crouch hold right stick. I recommend it if you play apex the setting is called evolved. Its takes some time to learn if you havent played bumper jumper b4. you dont have to take your fingers off the stick for jumping or crouching which is amazing definitely the best option if you dont have pads.

Yo man just subscribed! Quick question tho, the main reason I bought the elite (that broke) then I bought the Wolverine Ultimate. My problem is that I need to be able to unmap buttons that I switch to the paddles or just unmap in general. Is the elite the only one that can completely unmap buttons??

@vCuda 3 года назад

Pretty much all controllers with remappable buttons can be unbinded. The wolverines can do this in their software just like the elites

@anthonyrimmele9103 3 года назад

@@vCuda I don’t think so. The only thing I’ve managed to be able to do is map the buttons around but I cannot completely unbind a button. R3 for example. I play war zone and when I get into gun fight I have a tendency to click that right thumb stick. The elite controller I could do it but not the wolverine.

@Mububban23 2 года назад

Can the paddles and the ABXY buttons be mapped to be entirely seperate commands? On the Elite Series 2 wireless controller, in Halo Infinite, the paddles only seem to replicate ABXY and cannot be decoupled. My son bought a second hand series 1 Elite controller and was able to map P2 sprint, P3 grenade, P4 melee. P1 didn't work, so he returned it under warranty and bought a second hand Series 2 controller. Now he can only replicate the ABXY buttons with the paddles. On the series 2, pushing P3 to Throw Grenade says he is binding A, which removes it from Jump. He reckons he's doing the same process as the original controller. I've had a go myself and same thing - the paddles only replicate the ABXY buttons??? I'm happy to be called dumb if someone can help us out!
