Connecting to Nintendo Switch (Docked Mode)
- Ensure your Nintendo Switch console is placed in its dock and connected to your TV.
- Connect the USB cable of the Nyko Prime Controller to an available USB port on the Nintendo Switch dock.
- On your Nintendo Switch, navigate to System Settings > Controllers and Sensors > Pro Controller Wired Communication and ensure this setting is set to 'On'. This is crucial for the controller to function correctly.
- The controller should be recognized by the Switch, and you can begin playing.
Connecting to PC
- Connect the USB cable of the Nyko Prime Controller to an available USB port on your PC.
- Your PC should automatically detect and install the necessary drivers. This may take a few moments.
- Once installed, the controller will be ready for use with compatible PC games. Note that some games may require manual button remapping due to differences in button labeling conventions (e.g., Switch A/B/X/Y vs. Xbox A/B/X/Y).
Operating Instructions
Basic Controls
The Nyko Prime Controller features standard button layouts for Nintendo Switch and PC gaming. Refer to the in-game instructions for specific button functions.
Using the Turbo Function
- To activate Turbo for a specific button, press and hold the TURBO button, then press the desired action button (e.g., A, B, X, Y, L, R, ZL, ZR).
- Release both buttons. Now, when you hold down the action button, it will register rapid, continuous inputs.
- To deactivate Turbo for a specific button, press and hold the TURBO button, then press the action button again.
- To clear all Turbo settings, press and hold the TURBO button for 5 seconds.
Vibration Feedback
The controller provides dual vibration feedback during gameplay, enhancing immersion. This feature is automatically active when supported by the game.
Maintenance
- Keep the controller clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Avoid exposing the controller to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
- Store the controller in a safe place when not in use to prevent damage to the cable or buttons.
- Do not attempt to disassemble the controller, as this will void any potential warranty and may cause damage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| Controller not recognized by Nintendo Switch. | Ensure 'Pro Controller Wired Communication' is enabled in Switch System Settings. Try a different USB port on the dock. Unplug and re-plug the controller. |
| Controller not recognized by PC. | Try a different USB port. Ensure your PC's operating system is up to date. Restart your PC. |
| Buttons (A/B/X/Y) are swapped on PC. | This is common due to different button mapping standards between Switch and Xbox controllers (which PC often defaults to). Remap buttons within the game's settings if available. |
| Turbo function behaving unexpectedly. | Clear all Turbo settings by holding the TURBO button for 5 seconds. Ensure the controller is unplugged from the system when not in use to prevent unintended turbo button activation. |
| Vibration not working. | Ensure the game you are playing supports vibration feedback. Check in-game settings to ensure vibration is enabled. |
