Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your GameSir M2 controller, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Controller Not Connecting:
  • Ensure the controller is charged.
  • Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your Apple device.
  • Try unpairing and re-pairing the controller in your device's Bluetooth settings.
  • Restart both the controller and your Apple device.
• Buttons Unresponsive or Laggy:
  • Ensure the controller is within range of your device and there are no significant obstructions.
  • Check for any firmware updates for the controller (refer to GameSir's official website for information).
  • Confirm the game you are playing supports MFi controllers.
• Shoulder Buttons (L1/R1, L2/R2) Issues:
  • Some users report that shoulder buttons may require pressing closer to the bottom edge to register input. Adjust your grip if necessary.
• Analog Stick Drift/Incorrect Input:
  • If an analog stick consistently registers input in one direction (e.g., down-left), this may indicate stick drift. Try recalibrating the controller if an option is available through GameSir software, or contact support if the issue persists.
• No Vibration Feedback:
  • The GameSir M2 controller does not feature vibration feedback. This is a design characteristic, not a malfunction.
