Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to correctly install the FR-TEC Racing Enhance SimRacing Kit components onto your PS5 DualSense controller.

1. Silicone Protective Cover Installation

  1. Ensure your DualSense controller is clean and dry.
  2. Carefully stretch the silicone cover over the controller, aligning the openings with the buttons, joysticks, and ports.
  3. Adjust the cover to ensure a snug fit without obstructing any functions.

2. Thumb Grips Installation

  1. Place the concave thumb grips onto the analog sticks of your DualSense controller.
  2. Press down firmly to ensure they are securely seated.

3. High-Density Foam Rings Installation

  1. Gently slide one foam ring over each analog stick.

  2. Align the new R1 and L1 button caps with their respective slots.
  3. Press down firmly until they click into place, ensuring they are flush and functional.

5. R2 and L2 Trigger Installation

  1. Carefully remove the original R2 and L2 triggers from your DualSense controller. This may require gentle prying.
  2. Align the new R2 and L2 triggers with their respective positions.
  3. Press down until they securely snap into place.

Operating Instructions

The FR-TEC Racing Enhance SimRacing Kit is designed to be intuitive once installed. The primary operational feature is the adjustable R2 and L2 triggers.

R2 and L2 Trigger Modes

The enhanced R2 and L2 triggers offer two distinct operating modes:

  • Precision Shooting Mode (Long Range): This mode allows for the full range of trigger travel, providing fine control and accuracy, ideal for nuanced acceleration or braking in racing games.
  • Rapid Fire Mode (Short Range): This mode reduces the trigger travel distance, allowing for quicker, shorter presses. This can be beneficial for rapid inputs in certain game scenarios, though less common in sim racing.

To switch between modes, gently push or pull the small lever or switch located on the underside of each trigger. Refer to the visual cues on the triggers for the current mode setting.

Maintenance

Proper care of your FR-TEC Racing Enhance SimRacing Kit will ensure its longevity and continued performance.

  • Cleaning: The silicone cover, thumb grips, and trigger/button caps can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Storage: When not in use, store your controller with the kit installed in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
  • Inspection: Periodically check all components for wear and tear. If any part becomes damaged, consider replacing it to maintain optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your FR-TEC Racing Enhance SimRacing Kit, please refer to the following common solutions:

  • Buttons/Triggers Not Responding: Ensure all button caps and triggers are fully seated and clicked into place. Re-install if necessary.
  • Silicone Cover Slipping: Ensure the controller and cover are dry before installation. Adjust the cover to ensure a tight fit.
  • Analog Stick Resistance Issues: Verify that the foam rings are correctly positioned at the base of the analog sticks and are not interfering with movement.
  • Difficulty Switching Trigger Modes: Ensure no debris is obstructing the trigger mechanism. Gently operate the switch.

If problems persist, carefully remove all kit components and test the controller without them to determine if the issue lies with the kit or the controller itself.
