What does your setup look like? Currently my sensitivity is set default with my in game sensitivity set to 10. Hair triggers are set, and two paddles, left for crouch and right for thrust and I play on bumper jumper. Normal thumbsticks, but thinking about changing the left out with a mid. I have only played 3 games with it so far so im not sure what settings I should run on it.
Probably going to switch down to 1 paddle then work up to the second.
I got two regular controllers with my console, both have faulty right analog sticks. I got the Master Chief controller, the left bumper fell out. All 3 of these controllers crapped out shortly after their three month warranties expired. So what was I to do? Get a better quality controller through a third party supplier with a two year warranty: enter the Elite Controller.
So I really had no intention of using all the perks and gimmicks that came with it. I actually think it’s kinda cheap to get little advantageous cheats on your controller because you paid a crap ton … pay to win, I guess? But after using it, I don’t think it makes you any better. It’s like thinking wearing a pair of Jordan’s will make you better at basketball. lol.
I have played with the paddles, can’t get used to them. They make me worse. I do use the elongated right analog stick for aiming and hair-lock triggers. I have the 2nd profile button mapping set so Reach matches my controller layout exactly to what I use in the MCC and Halo 5 (Universal Reclaimer/Halo 4; it puts crouch on the “B” button and grenade switching to the D-pad). All I gotta do is flip the switch to “2” when I launch Reach and I’m good.
I’ve fiddled with the app’s analog stick sensitivity settings, but everything I set ended up being disastrous. It was either too tight, or my aim swung wildly loose. Default works best. Halo 5’s new sensitivity settings for both axis’s works well enough for me.
It’s a lovely controller, very solid and heavy. I don’t take advantage of all it has to offer because after 15 years of using “A” to jump and “Y” to switch weapons (or just Xbox controllers in general) it’s just too ingrained for me to start using paddles. “Old Dog/New Tricks”?
TLDL: great controller, but I’m 2 dumb 4 paddles … but again, the only reason I got this was because I was having bad luck with regular controllers breaking on me. And it’s not that I’m hard on them. I don’t abuse or throw them. My 360 controllers lasted me nearly a decade, so I don’t know what’s up with these. Well, I do actually, they’re cheaply manufactured.
I only use one of the paddles as sprint, feels better after you get used to it. Actually after a while it feels weird to click in your thumbstick.
Normal settings. Hair triggers. 10 sensitivity in game.
My current setup is something like this
Sens 4,4
0 deadzones
One paddle for crouch
One for thrust
I am thinking of changing the crouch paddle to something else though, I honestly never use it

I think if you got used to maybe one paddle at a time until you got to maybe 2 paddles. In h3 I realized I had to play on bumper jumper if I wanted to play any better so I finally moved off default and started upping my sensitivity, and it made the world of difference. Im hoping a paddle mapped to crouch and thrust will just give a slight advantage. So far im putting the slide to better use and im hoping to start doing some air crouching. The thrust doesnt really seem like an advantage because i use it to flee and save it rather than try to outplay an opponent on shots. Even though the thrust can make my strafe better it also keeps me from getting what seems like 2 shots off while in animation. It may be good for situations where i really have no choice but i dont know yet.
^^ I usually just tap a for the sprint and let the game do the rest. I use sprint very sparingly because it takes longer to draw my gun. Have you noticed a difference with the hair triggers? It seems like halo shots are paced so i cant pull the trigger any faster than i could on a regular controller.
Yes. It is the single best reason to own and Xbox One in my opinion. Wish there were a at least a couple more profile settings, and also an on/off switch for the paddles for times when you don’t want to use them. Currently i’m wasting one of my profiles to shut everything off, which is lame.
For Halo I use bumper jumper control scheme and use paddles for sprint, thrust, reload, and zoom.
Double pressing the sync button (little green thingy) will deactivate the paddles. Repeating the process will activate them back 
Well, my controller is a plain black one, but I put a red sleeve on it and go “Wort Wort Wort” when I get a good kill. So yes, I play with an Elite controller.

I think the only part of this I don’t entirely agree with is your conclusion that it is like a pair of Jordans… A pair of Jordans won’t really make a difference (unless you are comparing different types of shoes… running/basketball/dress), but an elite controller will in the right hands.
I’d compare it to a high end table tennis paddle. In the wrong hands it will make you WORSE!!! The ball will have more spin and velocity coming off the face of the paddle, and it can get very hard to control unless you know what you’re doing. I would argue it’s the same with an elite. Adding 4 paddles onto the controller without learning how to use them will just make you worse… the controller will feel awkward and you will continuously hit paddles when you don’t mean to. However, someone who knows how to use a controller with 4 paddles will undoubtedly be at an advantage, especially when you are talking about FPS, as being able to keep your right thumb on the stick at all times gives you the advantage of always being able to adjust your aim while also controller other functions simultaneously.
Without a doubt, the elite controller in the right hands can make a huge difference.
