Maintenance
- Keep the controller clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.

Troubleshooting
Controller Not Connecting/Pairing
- Ensure the controller is fully charged.
- Verify that Bluetooth is enabled on your device.
- Make sure the controller is in pairing mode.
- Try unpairing and re-pairing the controller from your device's Bluetooth settings.
- Move the controller closer to the device to ensure it's within range.
- Restart both the controller and the device.
Buttons Not Responding Correctly / Mapped Incorrectly
- As noted, the controller has an Xbox/PC button layout but a Switch firmware/driver. This means the physical button labels (A, B, X, Y) may not correspond to the in-game functions on non-Switch platforms without remapping.
- Check the in-game settings for button remapping options.
- For some devices, holding L & R simultaneously might switch between stick mode and game mode, which can affect button input.
- Ensure the controller's firmware is up to date if an update utility is available from VITURE or 8BitDo (though the product description mentions 8BitDo software may not recognize it).
Controller Not Waking Device with "Wake On Shake"
- Ensure the controller was previously paired and connected to the device.
- Verify that the device supports the "Wake On Shake" feature with this controller.
- Ensure the device is not completely powered off, but rather in sleep mode.
