The controller's weight can be adjusted for personal preference. To install counterweights:

1. Gently remove the side covers on the controller handles.
2. Insert the desired 7g or 15g counterweights into the designated slots.
3. Replace the side covers, ensuring they snap securely into place.

4. Replacing the D-Pad (Optional)

To change the D-pad:

2. Align the replacement D-pad (Round or Concave) with the D-pad slot and press firmly until it clicks into place.

Operating Instructions

1. Joystick Sensitivity Adjustment

The sensitivity of both joysticks can be adjusted physically. Rotate the radial dial located around the base of each thumbstick to increase or decrease sensitivity on the fly. This allows for precise control adjustments during gameplay without pausing or accessing software.

2. Hall Effect Trigger Locks

The Hall Effect triggers feature three adjustable lock positions:

• Micro: Shortest travel, ideal for rapid firing in shooting games.
• Mid: Medium travel, suitable for general action games.
• Full: Full travel, best for racing games or scenarios requiring precise analog input.

Adjust the trigger lock switch on the underside of the controller to select the desired travel distance for each trigger independently.

3. 6-Axis Gyro Motion Control

For games that support motion control, the built-in 6-axis gyro sensor allows you to control in-game actions by tilting and rotating the controller. Ensure the game supports this feature for optimal use.

4. Button Customization and Macros

The controller features configurable LB, RB, M1, and M2 buttons, as well as rear paddles. These can be remapped to other functions or assigned to complex macros using the BEITONG Gaming Hall software. This software allows you to create and save custom profiles for different games.

To utilize macro programming:

1. Download and install the BEITONG Gaming Hall software from the official BEITONG website.
2. Connect your controller to the PC.
3. Launch the software and follow the on-screen instructions to customize button mappings and create macros.
4. Save your profiles to the controller or software for quick access.

5. Turbo Function Activation

To activate the Turbo function for a specific button (ABXY, LB, RB, LT, RT):

1. Press and hold the TURBO button.
2. While holding TURBO, press the desired action button (e.g., 'A' button).
3. Release both buttons. Now, holding down the action button will result in rapid, repeated inputs.

To deactivate Turbo for a button, repeat the process: hold TURBO and press the action button again.

6. SHIFT Key Function

The SHIFT key allows you to swap the input functions between the left joystick and the D-pad. This can be useful for games where you prefer D-pad movement over joystick movement, or vice-versa, without changing game settings.

Press the SHIFT button to toggle this function. Press it again to revert to the default configuration. Exercise caution to avoid accidental activation during critical gameplay moments.
