Hello!
As you may know, Xbox Elite 2, Xbox Series X and Xbox One S controllers are going to receive a major update soon, and many users who participate in the Xbox Insider program have already got it.

Right now, you may get a newer update — 5.13. Please note that paddles are not reported properly with this one: neither on Bluetooth nor with a cable or official dongle. In case you have updated your controllers, you may check how to revert the firmware update on the console.For Windows 10-11 PC, please try the following steps:
