Operating Instructions

Advanced Gaming Buttons

  2. Press the button you wish to map (e.g., A/B/X/Y, LB/RB, LT/RT, D-pad, Left Stick Click, Right Stick Click).
  3. Press the AGL or AGR button (3) you wish to assign. The Program LED will stop flashing, indicating the button has been successfully mapped.

To reset the Advanced Gaming Buttons to their default settings, press and hold the Program Button for 5 seconds. The Program LED will flash rapidly, then turn off, indicating that all AGBs have been reset.

Headset Jack

Dual Rumble Motors

Experience enhanced immersion with dual rumble motors that provide tactile feedback during gameplay, reacting to in-game events like explosions, impacts, and more.

Maintenance

  • Keep the controller clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Store the controller in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent damage from extreme temperatures or humidity.
  • Handle the detachable USB cable with care. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling to prevent damage to the cable or the controller's port.

Troubleshooting

Controller Not Responding / Not Turning On

  • Check Cable Connection: Ensure the USB cable is fully and securely inserted into both the controller and the Xbox One console's USB port. Sometimes, the cable may not be pushed in all the way.

  • Reseat Xbox Power: Unplug your Xbox One console from its power source for a few seconds, then plug it back in. This can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.
  • Inspect Ports: Gently inspect both the USB port on the Xbox One and the micro USB port on the controller for any debris or damage. If necessary, carefully clean the ports.
  • Try Different USB Port: Connect the controller to a different USB port on your Xbox One console to rule out a faulty port.
  • Test on Another Device (PC): If possible, test the controller on a Windows 10 PC. The controller should be recognized automatically without additional drivers. This can help determine if the issue is with the controller or the Xbox console.
