4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Key Mapping
The AOLION Controller Paddles allow you to map various controller buttons to the two back paddles. This provides greater flexibility and can improve your gameplay by keeping your thumbs on the analog sticks.
Supported buttons for mapping include: X, Y, A, B, RB, RT, LB, LT, R (Right Stick Click), L (Left Stick Click), and D-pad directions (Up, Down, Left, Right).
To program a paddle:
- Press and hold the "SET" button on the paddle attachment until the indicator light begins to flash.
- Press the paddle (left or right) you wish to program. The indicator light will flash more rapidly.
- Press the button on the controller that you want to map to the selected paddle (e.g., 'A' button).
- Release the "SET" button. The indicator light will stop flashing, confirming the mapping is complete.

4.2. Memory Function
The paddle attachment features a memory function that retains your programmed button settings even after the controller is disconnected or powered off. This allows for quick resumption of your preferred configurations without needing to remap each time.
4.3. Audio Jack Functionality
The accessory includes a 3.5mm audio jack, allowing you to connect your favorite headset directly to the paddle attachment. This ensures continued audio functionality while using the paddles.
