Operation

Familiarize yourself with the controls and special functions of your arcade stick.

1. Basic Controls

• Hayabusa Action Buttons: Eight main buttons are arranged in a Vewlix layout, offering responsive input for various game actions.
• Touch Pad: Located on the top panel, this functions as a touch pad for compatible PS4 games.

2. Special Functions

• ASSIGN Mode: Use the ASSIGN switch to remap button functions. Refer to the on-screen instructions or game settings for specific remapping procedures.

• System Buttons: Includes standard PlayStation buttons such as PS, SHARE, OPTIONS, L1, L2, R1, R2, L3, R3, which are typically located on the top or side panel.

Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your arcade stick.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the surface of the arcade stick. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Cable Management: When not in use, carefully store the USB cable in its designated compartment. Avoid excessive bending or pulling of the cable to prevent damage. Note that the cable compartment door may be delicate; handle with care.
• Storage: Store the arcade stick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Modifications: The internal components of the arcade stick can be accessed for user modifications (e.g., changing the joystick gate or buttons) by removing screws. However, opening the unit typically voids the manufacturer's warranty. Proceed with caution and at your own risk.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following common solutions.

• Device Not Recognized:
  • Ensure the system compatibility switch is set to the correct position (PS4, PS3, or PC).
  • Try connecting the USB cable to a different USB port on your console or PC.
  • Restart your console or PC with the arcade stick connected.
  • For PC, verify that drivers are installed. If not, disconnect and reconnect the device, or manually check for drivers through Device Manager.
• Unresponsive Buttons or Joystick:
  • Check for any physical obstructions around the buttons or joystick.
  • Ensure the cable is securely connected.
  • Test the arcade stick on a different game or system to determine if the issue is specific to a game or the device itself.
• Input Lag or Dropped Connections (PC):
  • Ensure your PC's USB ports are functioning correctly. Try connecting to a different port, preferably a direct port on the motherboard rather than a hub.
  • Update your PC's USB drivers.
  • Minimize background applications that might consume system resources.
