4. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the controller's surface. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the controller frequently. Charge it regularly, even if not in use for extended periods.
• Joystick Replacement: When replacing hot-swappable joysticks, ensure the controller is powered off. Carefully follow the instructions provided with replacement joysticks to avoid damage.

5. Troubleshooting

• Controller Not Connecting: Ensure the controller is charged. Verify the correct connection mode (wired, 2.4GHz, or Bluetooth) is selected and properly configured on your device. For 2.4GHz, ensure the dongle is securely inserted. For Bluetooth, ensure your device's Bluetooth is enabled and the controller is in pairing mode.
• Charging Issues: If the controller does not charge or stops charging prematurely, ensure the USB-C cable is fully inserted into both the controller and the power source. Try a different USB port or charging cable. If using a charging dock, ensure the controller is correctly seated and making full contact with the charging pins.
• Input Lag or Disconnections: For wireless connections, ensure there are no significant obstructions or sources of interference (e.g., other wireless devices) between the controller and your device/dongle. Try moving closer to the receiver. For wired connections, ensure the cable is not damaged.
• Buttons/Joysticks Not Responding: Check if the controller's firmware is up to date via the mobile app. If joysticks are hot-swappable, ensure they are correctly seated. If issues persist, a factory reset (if available through the app) or contacting customer support may be necessary.
• Driver Problems (PC): Ensure you have the latest drivers installed for the controller. Refer to the manufacturer's official website for driver downloads and software.
• Motion Control Not Working (NS): Confirm the controller is in Nintendo Switch mode. Ensure the connection type (wired/2.4G) allows for motion control and that the feature is enabled in game or system settings.
