The MANGAN 400 is equipped with exact triggers (L2, R2) that respond to the force of your press. This allows for nuanced control, such as varying vehicle speed in racing games based on how hard you press the trigger, providing a more immersive and responsive gaming experience.

4. Maintenance

4.1. Cleaning

To clean the gamepad, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can damage the surface and internal components.
