• Flip the switches to toggle between regular trigger pull and instant trigger mode.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning Your Controller

To maintain optimal performance and appearance, regularly clean your controller.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the controller's surface.

• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish and internal components.
• Ensure no liquid enters openings such as button gaps or ports.

2. Cable Care

The braided USB-C cable is designed for durability, but proper care will extend its lifespan.

• Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
• Do not pull on the cable to disconnect it; always grasp the connector.
• Store the cable neatly when not in use to prevent tangling.
