6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Bluetooth Connection Issues

• Windows 10/11 Bluetooth Latency: If experiencing ~1ms latency or reduced report rate (50-300Hz) on Windows 10/11 Bluetooth, disable "Show notifications to connect using 'Swift Pair'" in your PC's Bluetooth settings.
• Multiple Devices, Lower Polling Rates: When connecting multiple Bluetooth devices to one Bluetooth adapter, bandwidth sharing may lower polling rates. For optimal performance, use one adapter per controller.
• 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Interference: 2.4GHz Wi-Fi can interfere with Bluetooth, potentially reducing polling rates. Use 5GHz Wi-Fi to avoid this interference.

Polling rate details and tips for optimizing Bluetooth performance.

6.2 Controller Not Responding

• Ensure the controller is charged.
• Verify the mode switch on the back is set to the correct platform.
• Try re-pairing the controller with your device.
• If using a wired connection, ensure the USB-C cable supports data transfer and is securely connected.

8. User Tips

• Direct Settings: All controller settings can be adjusted directly on the controller itself; no external apps or software are required for configuration.
• Optimal Bluetooth Performance: For the best Bluetooth polling rates on PC, ensure you are using 5GHz Wi-Fi to avoid interference with the 2.4GHz Bluetooth signal. Also, consider using a dedicated Bluetooth adapter for each controller if connecting multiple devices.
• Wired Connection for Lowest Latency: For competitive gaming or situations where minimal input lag is crucial, utilize the wired USB-C connection to benefit from the 1000Hz polling rate.
• Customization: Experiment with different replaceable stick caps to find the feel that best suits your playstyle.
