7.3 RGB Lighting

The controller features dynamic RGB lighting effects. You can change the lighting mode to suit your preference.

To change the lighting mode, press the down arrow (D-pad) and the 'M' button simultaneously. Repeated presses will cycle through different modes such as Gradient, Colorful, Flashing, and Constantly Lit.

The No-Deadzone Mode allows for more precise control by eliminating the small area around the center of the joystick where input is not registered. This can be toggled on or off to suit your playstyle.
