4.1. Programmable Backkeys (Macros)

The MR and ML backkeys can be programmed to execute a sequence of operations. This allows for complex combos or repetitive actions to be performed with a single press. Each macro can record up to 30 seconds of input, including intervals and long-presses.

The integrated 6-axis gyro sensor provides precise motion control, enhancing immersion in games that support motion-sensing input. This allows for intuitive aiming, steering, and other in-game actions by simply moving the controller.

4.4. Wake Up Function (for Nintendo Switch)

When connected to a Nintendo Switch, you can wake up the console from sleep mode by pressing the HOME button on the controller.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the controller. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the device. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the controller frequently. Charge it regularly, even if not in use for extended periods. Do not expose the battery to high temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

• Controller Not Connecting/Pairing:
  • Ensure the controller is fully charged.
  • Verify that Bluetooth is enabled on your device.
  • Make sure you are using the correct button combination for pairing (e.g., A+HOME for iOS/PC, B+HOME or A+HOME for Android, pairing button on back for Switch).
  • Try forgetting the device in your device's Bluetooth settings and re-pairing.
  • Restart both the controller and your device.
• Buttons Unresponsive or Laggy:
  • Check battery level; low battery can affect performance.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the controller and your device that could interfere with the Bluetooth signal.
  • If using a wired connection, ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the controller and the device.
  • Some games may require specific controller settings or may not fully support third-party controllers. Check in-game settings.
• Short Battery Life:
  • Ensure the controller is fully charged before use (approximately 3 hours).
  • Reduce vibration intensity if possible, as this consumes more power.
