The Hall effect joysticks provide precise and durable input. They offer a smoother feel and are less prone to drift compared to traditional potentiometers. Simply use them as you would any standard analog stick for movement and camera control.
3. Elite Mapping Buttons (MR/ML)

The MR and ML buttons on the back of the controller can be remapped to other button functions. Refer to the specific game or platform settings for customization options. This allows for personalized control schemes to suit your playstyle.
4. RGB Lighting Effects

To activate the Turbo function for a specific button, press and hold the Turbo button (often marked 'M' or a similar symbol) and then press the desired action button. This will enable rapid-fire for that button. Repeat the process to deactivate Turbo for that button.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the controller. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the controller regularly, even if not in use for extended periods.
- Avoid Drops: Protect the controller from drops and impacts, which can damage internal components.
Troubleshooting
- Controller does not turn on:
- Ensure the controller is fully charged. Connect it to a power source using the USB cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to turn it on again.
- Controller does not pair:
- Make sure the controller is in pairing mode (light bar flashing rapidly). On your device, ensure Bluetooth is enabled and try forgetting any previously paired controllers before attempting to pair again. For PS4, try connecting with the USB cable first.
- Input lag or disconnection:
- Ensure there are no obstructions between the controller and the device. Move closer to the device. Other wireless devices might cause interference; try to minimize their use or move them away. Ensure the controller's battery is not low.
- Buttons or joysticks are unresponsive:
- Try resetting the controller (a small reset button is often located on the back, requiring a pin to press). Ensure the controller's firmware is up to date if applicable (check the manufacturer's website). Clean around the buttons and joysticks to remove any debris.
