Operating Instructions

Basic Controls

The HORI Fighting Stick Mini features a standard arcade layout with a joystick for directional input and eight action buttons. Additionally, it includes Home, Capture, and Volume Control buttons for system functions.

Turbo Feature

The Turbo feature allows a single button press to be repeated continuously as long as the button is held down. This can be useful in certain games for rapid input.

1. To Program Turbo: Press and hold the Turbo button (located on the top panel of the stick). While holding the Turbo button, press the desired action button (e.g., B button) that you wish to apply the Turbo function to. The green indicator light on the stick will flash when Turbo is active for that button.
2. To Use Turbo: Once programmed, simply hold down the assigned action button, and the input will be repeated automatically.
3. To Deactivate Turbo: To return a button to normal single-press functionality, press and hold the Turbo button and the Screenshot button simultaneously. The indicator light will turn off, and the button will revert to its standard operation.
