Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your 8BitDo Ultimate Mini Wired Controller:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the controller. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the controller's finish and internal components.
• Storage: Store the controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the controller.
• Cable Care: Handle the USB-C cable gently. Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or pulling the cable forcefully from the port. If the cable becomes damaged, replace it with a compatible USB-C cable to ensure proper functionality and safety.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your controller, refer to the following common solutions:

• Controller Not Responding:
  • Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the controller and the console/PC.
  • Try connecting the controller to a different USB port.
  • Test the controller on another compatible device (if available) to determine if the issue is with the controller or the original device.
  • Restart your console or PC.
• Lighting Issues (Too Bright/Not Working):
  • Press the small button located below the right analog stick to cycle through lighting modes or turn the lighting off/on. Repeated presses will change the effect or brightness.
• Audio Jack Not Working:
  • Ensure your headset uses a standard CTIA connector.
  • Verify the headset is fully plugged into the 3.5mm audio jack on the controller.
  • Test the headset with another device to confirm it is functioning correctly.
• Input Lag or Disconnections:
  • Ensure the USB cable is not damaged. Replace if necessary.
