Elite Controller with Trigger Lock can navigate some, but not all Menus.

Coming from an Elite Owner, the elite controller is worth it; if you are willing to spend the money. They have 3 sets of thumbsticks, hair lock triggers, removable d pad, removable paddles, and 2 profiles which you can switch between in game. Overall,
it feels a lot better than a normal controller.

Strange as it does state the controller has rubberised grips.

Can only answer this on a Elite controller perspective. I have had 3 elite controllers in the last 4 years and I can honestly say it is a great piece of kit. The paddles work perfect, they’re not flimsy and are not in an awkward position, the controller
sits comfortably in m y hand with all 4 paddles applied. The trigger-lock is great when play FPS games like Call of Duty, Halo as you do not have to pull the trigger down all the way for it to fully aim in.

The only complaint I have about the controller is that I have found that within year 1 of my first purchase, I had over 1000 hours played and the grip started to fall off .

Overall, the elite conroller is a great purchase and has 3 customability options for the toggle sticks.

Have you tried using the triggers on the controller? The right trigger should be good to move forward and the left for backwards navigation.

Currently, there is no way to adjust trigger sensitivity when using a non-Elite controller. Some games do have a setting for it, but there's no setting for just regular controllers.
