Operating Instructions and Features

No relevant product images were found in the provided data to illustrate the controller layout.

Rotatable D-pad

The D-pad can be rotated to adjust its angle for improved comfort and input precision. To rotate the D-pad, gently twist it clockwise or counter-clockwise until it reaches your desired position. The D-pad can be angled up to 20 degrees from its default position.

Adjustable D-pad Sensitivity

The controller features adjustable D-pad sensitivity, allowing you to set how easily diagonal inputs are registered. The sensitivity adjustment dial is located on the back of the controller. Use a coin or a flat-head tool to turn the dial to increase or decrease sensitivity according to your preference.

6-Button Layout and L/R Toggle Switch

The face of the controller features a 6-button layout, providing quick access to multiple actions. Additionally, an L/R toggle switch allows you to assign the L1/L2 buttons to the R1/R2 positions, effectively giving you control over up to 8 buttons with your right hand for complex fighting game inputs.

• L/R Toggle Switch: Locate the switch on the controller. Move it to the desired position to remap the shoulder buttons.
• Default: L1, L2, R1, R2 function as standard.
• Toggled: L1/L2 functions are mapped to R1/R2, allowing for more face button options.

Turbo Functions

The controller includes Turbo functions for rapid-fire inputs. This feature can be applied to specific buttons to continuously register presses as long as the button is held down.

1. Activating Turbo: Press and hold the TURBO button, then press the desired action button (e.g., X, Square, Circle, Triangle, L1, R1, etc.) you wish to apply Turbo to. The Turbo LED indicator will illuminate.
2. Deactivating Turbo: Press and hold the TURBO button again, then press the action button that currently has Turbo activated. The Turbo LED indicator will turn off.
