Operating Instructions

The controller supports various modes depending on your device and intended use. Please note that specific button functions may vary slightly based on the application or game.

1. Gamepad Mode (Android)

For Android devices, the controller functions as a standard gamepad. After successful pairing, most compatible games will automatically recognize the controller. Use the joystick for movement and the action buttons (X, Y, A, B) for in-game actions.

2. Selfie Shutter Mode

When paired with a smartphone or tablet, the controller can act as a remote camera shutter. Open your device's camera application, then press an appropriate button (often the 'X' or 'A' button) on the controller to capture photos remotely. This is ideal for group photos or stable shots.

3. Bluetooth Mouse Mode (Android/PC)

For Android devices and PCs, the controller can function as a basic Bluetooth mouse. The joystick controls the cursor movement, and certain buttons may act as left or right clicks. Refer to your device's settings for specific button assignments in mouse mode.

4. iOS System Compatibility

For iOS devices, the controller's functionality is more limited. It primarily supports selfie shutter functions and a reduced selection of games. Full gamepad support for iOS typically requires a jailbroken device or specific MFi (Made for iPhone/iPad/iPod) certified controllers. This controller is not MFi certified.

Troubleshooting

• Device not pairing:
  • Ensure the controller is charged and powered on.
  • Turn off and on your device's Bluetooth.
  • Forget the device in your Bluetooth settings and attempt to pair again.
  • Ensure no other Bluetooth devices are interfering.
