Product Overview

Setup

Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge your controller. Connect the included USB-C cable to the charging port on the controller and the other end to a USB power source (e.g., Nintendo Switch dock, USB wall adapter, computer USB port). The LED indicators on the controller will show charging status and turn off when fully charged.

Pairing with Nintendo Switch

1. From the Nintendo Switch HOME Menu, select Controllers, then Change Grip/Order.
2. While on the "Change Grip/Order" screen, press and hold the Sync Button on the top of the Afterglow Wave controller for at least 3 seconds.
3. The player LEDs on the bottom of the controller will flash and then remain solid once paired.
4. Once paired, you can begin using your controller.

Note: The C Button is not available when using this controller with Nintendo Switch 2.

Operating Instructions

Button Layout

The controller features standard Nintendo Switch button layout, including A, B, X, Y buttons, D-pad, Left/Right joysticks, L/R/ZL/ZR triggers, Plus (+), Minus (-), Home, and Capture buttons.

RGB Lighting Modes

The Afterglow Wave controller features eight RGB lighting zones and four pre-set modes. To cycle through the lighting modes, locate the dedicated lighting button (often a small button near the center of the controller or a combination of buttons, refer to the quick start guide for exact location if not clearly marked).

• Mode 1: Solid Color
• Mode 2: Wave Effect
• Mode 3: Breathing Effect
• Mode 4: Custom (if applicable, refer to advanced settings)

Programmable Back Buttons

The two programmable quick-action back buttons allow for custom mapping of controller functions. This feature provides a competitive edge by allowing you to execute complex actions quickly.

To program a back button:

1. Press and hold the Program Button (usually a small button on the back or bottom of the controller).
2. While holding the Program Button, press the Back Button (P1 or P2) you wish to program.
3. Release both buttons.
4. Now, press the button on the front of the controller that you want to map to the back button (e.g., A, B, X, Y, L, R, ZL, ZR, D-pad directions).
5. Press the Program Button again to save the mapping. The controller may vibrate or flash to confirm.

Motion Controls

The controller includes built-in motion controls for games that support this feature. Ensure motion controls are enabled in your game settings if you experience issues.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean your controller, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as this can damage the controller's finish and internal components.

Battery Care

• Avoid exposing the controller to extreme temperatures (hot or cold).
• Do not store the controller for extended periods with a completely depleted battery. Charge it periodically if not in use.
• Use only the provided USB-C cable or a certified equivalent for charging.
• If the battery life significantly decreases, it may indicate the battery is nearing the end of its lifespan.
