Troubleshooting
- Controller not turning on:
Ensure the controller is fully charged. Connect it to a power source using the USB cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power on again.
- Controller not connecting via Bluetooth:
Make sure the controller is in pairing mode (LED light bar flashing rapidly). Check that Bluetooth is enabled on your device and that the controller is within the 10-meter range. Try removing previous pairings from your device's Bluetooth settings and re-pairing. For PS4/PS3, try connecting with the USB cable first.
- Input lag or disconnection:
Ensure there are no strong electromagnetic interferences nearby. Move closer to the connected device. If the issue persists, try resetting the controller using the small reset button on the back (requires a thin pin).
- Audio issues with 3.5mm port:
Ensure your headset is fully plugged in and compatible with TRRS jacks. Check audio settings on your connected device (console/PC/mobile) to ensure the controller's audio output is selected and volume levels are appropriate.
- Buttons not responding:
Try resetting the controller. If specific buttons are unresponsive, ensure no debris is lodged around them. If the issue persists after a reset, contact customer support.

- Storage: Store the controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
