Troubleshooting

Ensure the controller is fully charged. Connect it to a power source and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power on again.

Controller disconnects frequently or fails to pair:

• Ensure the controller is within the 10-meter wireless range of your device.

• On your device, "forget" or "unpair" the controller from your Bluetooth settings, then attempt the pairing process again.
• Verify the correct pairing mode for your specific device (e.g., B+HOME for iOS/Android, SHARE+HOME or wired for PS4).

Buttons or joysticks are unresponsive or sticky:

• Ensure the controller is clean and free of debris around the buttons and joysticks.
• If the issue persists, it may indicate a hardware malfunction.
