Windows 10: How to fix the paddles on the xbox elite 2 controller on pc.

So I play on windows 11, and I bought recently the xbox elite 2 controller. I tried using the paddles at first and they were working fine, until a little while later when i tried to remap the buttons for the paddles. They would not work whenever i pressed them. In fact, When i try to change the color of the xbox logo and then leave the settings for the profile, it reverts back to its default color. Now i tried testing mode and it proved my point that these paddles are not working. I have tried making a new profile but it would do the same thing. I have even tried reverting the firmware update

Xbox Elite 2 controller showing as Xbox Wireless Controller on BT

Bought an Xbox Elite 2 controller last week, connected it to my PC via bluetooth and started gaming. Realized I wanted to move the X and A buttons on the paddles so I plugged it in to my computer and was prompted for an update. Sure. I updated the controller, re-assigned my chosen paddles, and went back to my Newfound Adventure on FFXIV. Then a day and a half later, the controller started blinking when I turned on my PC. I set to reconnect and it shows up as "Xbox Wireless Controller" now in my bluetooth search instead of "Xbox Elite Wireless Controller" as it had previously. At first I thought nothing of it and went to try to play my game and none of the buttons worked as they should. I then plugged my controller into my PC to check my presets - all good. Unplugged it and back to bluetooth - nothing worked again.

I disconnected my controller and attempted to sync my husband's Elite 2 controller (bought same day last week) and it showed up on my PC correctly as an Elite 2. When he sync'd my controller to his computer is still showed up as "Xbox Wireless Controller." I now have a $180 brick. Please help.

EDIT: It works exactly as it should when plugged in. But that defeats the purpose of a BT controller...

Xbox Elite Controller Buttons/Paddles Mapped to Keyboard Keys?

Hi,

There is no option to map buttons or triggers to keyboard keys on the xbox accessories app for my xbox elite controller. is there a way that this con be done?

That means any game that doesn't already support controllers or buttons programmed to the standard buttons you cant add to the paddles on the back. this seems like a really bad design choice and something that can be easily added.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
