Operating Instructions

KeyPad Functions:

• Standard Input: The mechanical keys emulate standard controller buttons (e.g., X, O, Square, Triangle, L1, R1, L2, R2) and directional input.
• Analog Thumb Stick: Functions as the left analog stick of a standard controller. It can be configured via the app to act as WASD keys for movement.
• Snipe Button: Reduces mouse sensitivity instantly for precise aiming. Press and hold for activation.
• Quick Button: Increases mouse sensitivity temporarily for rapid turns or quick movements. Press and hold for activation.
• ADS Lock: Locks the Aim Down Sights (ADS) function, allowing you to maintain ADS without holding the button.
• Walk Button: Reduces movement speed for stealth or precise positioning.
• Touch Pad: Functions as the PlayStation controller's touch pad.
• Headset Jack: Connect your compatible gaming headset for audio and microphone functionality.

Mouse Functions:

• Right Analog Stick Emulation: The mouse emulates the right analog stick of a standard controller, providing precise aiming control.
• DPI Adjustment: Use the dedicated DPI buttons on the mouse (if present) or the HORI Device Manager App to adjust mouse sensitivity on the fly. Higher DPI means faster cursor movement.

Using the HORI Device Manager App:

The app provides extensive customization options:

• Key Re-mapping: Assign any controller button function to any key on the keypad.
• Sensitivity Settings: Fine-tune mouse sensitivity, acceleration, and dead zone settings.
• Profile Management: Create and save multiple profiles for different games or play styles. Switch between profiles quickly using the app or dedicated buttons on the keypad.
• Firmware Updates: The app facilitates firmware updates for the TAC Pro Type M2, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the keypad and mouse. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the device. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use, store the device in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cable Care: Avoid bending or twisting the USB cable excessively to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

• Device Not Recognized:

  Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the keypad and the console/PC. Verify that the platform switch on the keypad is set to the correct position (PS4, PS3, or PC). Try a different USB port.

• Mouse Movement Feels Off/Laggy:

  The TAC Pro Type M2 emulates a controller's analog stick, which can feel different from native PC mouse input. Adjust mouse sensitivity (DPI) using the buttons on the mouse or the HORI Device Manager App. Also, check in-game sensitivity settings; often, turning in-game sensitivity to maximum and then fine-tuning with the TAC Pro's settings yields better results. Ensure "uniform aiming" and "controller acceleration" settings in-game are adjusted or turned off as per preference.
• Headset Audio/Mic Not Working:

  Ensure your headset is fully plugged into the keypad's headset jack. Check console/PC audio settings to ensure the TAC Pro Type M2 is selected as the input/output device. Test with another headset if possible.

• Keys Not Responding:

  Check if the keypad is properly connected and powered on. If using custom profiles, ensure the correct profile is active. Try resetting the device to default settings via the HORI Device Manager App.

• App Connectivity Issues:

  Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and the keypad. Restart both the app and the keypad. If issues persist, try re-pairing the device through the app.
