Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the controller. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cable Care: Avoid sharply bending or twisting the USB cable. Do not pull the cable to disconnect the controller; always grasp the plug.

Troubleshooting

• Controller Not Responding on Nintendo Switch: Ensure "Pro Controller Wired Communication" is enabled in the Nintendo Switch System Settings (System Settings > Controllers and Sensors > Pro Controller Wired Communication).
• No Power/Lights: Verify the USB cable is securely connected to both the controller and the console/PC. Try a different USB port.
• Fan Not Working: Check if the fan button has been pressed to activate the fan. Ensure the controller is receiving power.
• Input Lag/Unresponsive Buttons: As a wired controller, input lag should be minimal. Ensure the cable is not damaged and is fully inserted. Test on another USB port or device if possible.
