6. Maintenance

• Keep the controller dry. Avoid exposure to humidity, rain, or liquids.
• Do not expose the controller to extreme temperatures.
• Clean the controller with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Store the controller in a clean, dust-free environment when not in use.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the controller to strong impacts.

7. Troubleshooting

• Controller not connecting: Ensure the controller is fully charged. Verify you are using the correct pairing method for your device (N-Switch, PC, PS3, Android). Try restarting both the controller and the host device.
• Input lag or disconnections: Ensure the controller is within the 8-meter transmission range. Reduce interference from other wireless devices.
• Buttons not responding: Check if the controller is properly paired. If using wired mode on PC, note that some functions like six-axis gyroscope are not supported.
• Vibration not working in wired PC mode: This is expected behavior as only vibration is supported in wired PC mode, not six-axis.
• A/B/X/Y keys swapped on Android: This is normal behavior for non-Nintendo Switch devices. Adapt to the swapped layout or check if your game/emulator allows remapping.
