• To Power Off: Press and hold the Home button for approximately 5 seconds until the LED indicators turn off. The controller will also automatically power off after a period of inactivity.

Basic Controls

The WX-4 controller functions similarly to official Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers. Refer to your game's instructions for specific button assignments.

Advanced Features (Turbo Function & Programmable Paddles)

The WX-4 controller includes a turbo function and programmable back paddles for enhanced gameplay. Specific instructions for programming these features are typically found in a separate quick start guide or on the manufacturer's support website. Generally, programming involves holding a 'Program' button (often a small button on the back) and then pressing the desired button to map, followed by the back paddle.
