Before initial use, fully charge the controller. Connect the supplied Type-C cable to the controller's charging port and the other end to a USB power source (e.g., PS5 console, PC, or USB wall adapter). The LED indicator will show charging status and turn off when fully charged.

The controller features a 1000mAh rechargeable battery and supports Type-C fast charging.

5.2 Initial Connection to PS5 Console

5.3 Connecting to PC (Windows 7/8/10/11)

The controller offers full PC support and can connect via Bluetooth 5.0 or a wired Type-C connection.

• Wired Connection: Connect the controller to your PC using the Type-C cable. The PC should automatically detect and install the necessary drivers. The controller will operate in X-input mode by default for broad game compatibility.
• Bluetooth Connection:
  1. Ensure your PC has Bluetooth enabled.
  2. Put the controller into pairing mode (refer to the 'Operating Instructions' section for details on power on/off and pairing).
  3. On your PC, go to Bluetooth settings and search for new devices.
  4. Select the "Data Frog Gamepad" or similar name from the list to pair.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Power On/Off

• Power On: Press the PS button (or Home button) once to turn on the controller. It will attempt to connect to the last paired device.
• Power Off: Press and hold the PS button for approximately 10 seconds until the controller powers off. The controller also features smart auto-sleep technology to conserve battery life when idle.

6.2 Connection Modes (Bluetooth / Wired)

The controller automatically detects the connection type. When connected via Type-C cable, it operates in wired mode. When disconnected from the cable and powered on, it will attempt to connect via Bluetooth.

For PC, the controller supports both X-input and D-input modes. These modes are typically automatically selected by the game or system, but some games may require manual adjustment in their settings.

6.3 Programmable Macro Back Buttons (F1 & F2)

The F1 and F2 back paddles can be programmed to execute complex commands or sequences of up to 24 keystrokes.

Programming Steps:

1. Press and hold the 'SET' button (usually a small button near the back paddles) until the indicator light starts blinking.
2. Press the back button (F1 or F2) you wish to program. The indicator light will blink faster.
3. Input the desired sequence of buttons (up to 24 keystrokes).
4. Press the 'SET' button again to save the macro. The indicator light will stop blinking.

To clear a macro, repeat steps 1-2, then press the 'SET' button without inputting any sequence.

6.4 Turbo Auto-Fire Function

The Turbo function allows a button to be repeatedly pressed automatically as long as it is held down.

Activating Turbo:

1. Press and hold the button you want to set to Turbo.
2. While holding the button, press the 'TURBO' button once. The button will now have Turbo functionality.

Deactivating Turbo:

1. Press and hold the button with Turbo activated.
2. While holding the button, press the 'TURBO' button once again. The Turbo function will be deactivated for that button.

6.5 Vibration Adjustment

The controller features dual vibration motors with 4 adjustable levels of intensity: 100%, 70%, 30%, and 0% (off).

6.7 Audio Integration

The integrated 3.5mm TRRS audio jack allows you to connect a headset for high-fidelity stereo sound and clear communication during gameplay.

7. Maintenance

• Keep the controller dry and away from extreme temperatures.
• Clean the controller with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the controller to strong impacts.
• Store the controller in a safe place when not in use to prevent damage.

8. Troubleshooting

Controller does not power on:

Ensure the controller is fully charged. Connect it to a power source using the Type-C cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power on again.

Controller does not connect wirelessly:

For PS5, ensure the initial wired pairing has been completed. For both PS5 and PC, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the controller is in pairing mode. Try restarting both the controller and the console/PC. If issues persist, try connecting via cable.

Macro buttons are not working:

Double-check the programming steps in section 6.3. Ensure the 'SET' button was pressed correctly to save the macro. Try reprogramming the buttons.

Vibration is not felt:

Check if the vibration intensity is set to 0%. Adjust the vibration level as described in the full PDF manual. Some games may also have their own vibration settings that need to be enabled.

Input lag or unresponsiveness:

Ensure the controller is fully charged. If using Bluetooth, try moving closer to the console/PC or reducing interference from other wireless devices. A wired Type-C connection offers ultra-low latency and can resolve most input lag issues.

9. User Tips

• The Data Frog T29K gamepad works well with PS5, providing a good gaming experience.
• For optimal performance on PC, consider using a wired connection for competitive gaming to minimize latency.
• Experiment with the programmable back buttons to create custom macros that enhance your gameplay in different titles.
