Mode Switching
- 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 (D-pad) and the left/right stick inputs.
SOCD Modes
The controller supports three types of Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions (SOCD) modes, which are crucial for competitive play in fighting games. These modes determine how simultaneous opposing directional inputs are registered.
- Up priority SOCD mode (Default): If Up and Down are pressed simultaneously, Up input is prioritized.
- Neutral (CAPCOM) SOCD mode: If opposing directions are pressed simultaneously, all inputs are cancelled, resulting in a neutral input.
- Last win SOCD mode: The last directional input pressed is registered.
