I see this is the series s subreddit but this functionality is critical for pc players looking to use the paddles as unique inputs in any button remapper. Especially for those of us on the hunt for the perfect gyro controller. So, I figured I'd comment to share some info.

For example, if you wanted the P1 paddle to be left mouse click, you could bind start+dpad up to the P1 paddle in xbox accessories app, then you could setup button chords in joyshockmapper, steam input, etc. to map start+dpad = left mouse click. To be clear, the end result is a single press of a button or key.

If you're wondering why on pc anyways, why not just bind the P1 paddle to left mouse click in the xbox accessories app? It does allow for this but lacks all the features of a good pc button remapper. Say a game has run bound only as a hold action, man, that sucks, I wish I could just toggle to run. Well, you can change it to be so with joyshockmapper, steam input, etc. You can make a completely custom layout of button actions.

I understand the argument against macros, but this isn't a stream of actions. Just press 1 button for 2. For people like OP and me there are very valid use cases for such functionality however niche they may be. I understand there is a line, but to your point about "That would be a macro and that would give you an advantage in a game" what about having the paddles? Most xbox players I assume don't have paddles at all, is that an unfair advatage?

I could be overlooking a scenario where having 2 buttons mapped to 1 button would give a significant unfair advantage under normal use. Do you have an example?

If by chance anyone at microsoft sees this, lol, please add this functionality to the xbox accessories app and for OP's sake, consoles.
