5. Operating Instructions
Basic Operation
Once connected, the ipega PG-SW002 allows you to control game operations on your Nintendo Switch or Switch Lite console directly. The joysticks and buttons provide a responsive interface for various games.
TURBO Function
The TURBO function allows for rapid, continuous input of specific action buttons. This feature can be applied to the 8 action buttons: A, B, X, Y, L, ZL, R, and ZR.
- To Activate TURBO: Press and hold the desired action button (e.g., A), then lightly press the TURBO key. The TURBO function will be activated for that specific action button.
- To Deactivate TURBO: Press and hold the action button for which TURBO is active, then tap the TURBO key again. The TURBO function will be turned off for that button.
Note: TURBO settings are independent for each joystick. Settings for joystick 1 do not affect joystick 2, and vice versa. The TURBO settings are automatically cleared if the product is turned off, enters sleep mode, or is restarted. You will need to reset the TURBO function if you wish to use it again after such events.
