4.4 Vibration Function

The PB TAILS CHOC controller incorporates an asymmetric dual-motor vibration system, delivering immersive haptic feedback during gameplay. This system provides realistic sensations for in-game events such as collisions, explosions, and combat scenarios.

To adjust the vibration intensity, refer to your console or device's controller settings. While the controller may not provide a direct visual confirmation of vibration level changes, you can test the intensity by observing the haptic feedback during gameplay or by cycling through settings.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your controller:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the controller. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use, store the controller in its protective pouch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Avoid Drops: Protect the controller from drops and impacts, which can damage internal components.
• Liquid Exposure: Keep the controller away from liquids. If liquid enters the controller, discontinue use immediately and allow it to dry completely before attempting to use it again.
