Operating Instructions

The Hunter controller is designed for intuitive use, mirroring modern controller layouts while retaining classic functionality.

• Analog Sticks: Utilize the Hall Effect analog sticks for precise movement and aiming. These sticks are designed to prevent drift over time.
• Pressure Sensitive Buttons: The face buttons (A, B, X, Y) and triggers offer pressure sensitivity, allowing for nuanced control in games that support this feature on the original Xbox.
• D-Pad: The directional pad provides tactile feedback for accurate directional input. While improved over some original designs, some users may find the surrounding lip slightly high.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your controller, please observe the following maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the controller. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, ensuring no moisture enters the ports or crevices.
• Storage: Store the controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: The controller uses a Lithium Ion battery. Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing for extended periods, charge the battery to about 50% to prolong its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Retro Fighters Hunter Wireless Controller, consider the following:

• Controller Not Connecting: Ensure the correct dongle (Xbox or USB) is securely inserted into the console/PC. Re-attempt the pairing process as described in the Setup Guide. Verify the controller battery is charged.
• Input Lag/Latency: Ensure the controller and dongle are within close proximity and there are no significant obstructions. Interference from other wireless devices can sometimes affect performance.
• D-Pad Feel: While the D-pad is designed for improved performance, its physical design may feel different from other controllers. This is generally a characteristic of the design and not a defect.
• No Wired Connection: The USB-C port on the controller is primarily for charging and firmware updates. It does not support a direct wired connection for gameplay. All gameplay is wireless via the included dongles.
