- The HOME button is used to switch between PC360 mode (default) and other modes.
- The MODE button is used to switch between the cross keys and the left/right stick functions.
4.2 SOCD Modes
The FightBox F10-PC supports three types of Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions (SOCD) modes, which are crucial for competitive play. These modes determine how conflicting directional inputs are processed.
Figure 5: SOCD Modes and their input/output behavior.
- Up Priority SOCD Mode (Default): If Up and Down are pressed simultaneously, Up input is prioritized. If Left and Right are pressed, both inputs are neutralized.
- Neutral (CAPCOM) SOCD Mode: All simultaneous opposing directional inputs (Up+Down, Left+Right) result in a neutral input.
- Last Win SOCD Mode: The last directional input pressed takes priority over its opposing direction. For example, if Left is held and Right is then pressed, Right will be the active input.

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your FightBox F10-PC controller, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the surface of the controller. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, but ensure no liquid enters the buttons or ports.
- Storage: Store the controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the USB cable. Always grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting.
- Button Care: Avoid excessive force on the buttons. Sanwa buttons are durable but can be damaged by improper handling.
