Activate Bluetooth pairing mode on the gamepad (refer to the LCD display for specific instructions).
On your device (PC, Switch, Android, iOS), search for Bluetooth devices and select "BIGBIG WON Aether" from the list.
Confirm the pairing. The indicator light on the gamepad will stabilize upon successful connection.

The controller is designed with ceramic antennas for enhanced signal strength and connection stability, minimizing delay and supporting smooth gameplay.

3. Operating Instructions

The Aether Gamepad provides extensive customization options through its integrated LCD display and advanced hardware features.

3.1. LCD Display Customization

The built-in LCD display allows for real-time adjustments without the need for external software. You can intuitively configure various settings directly on the controller.

Back Button Assignment: Assign single key inputs to the two large back buttons (M1, M2) on the rear of the controller. These buttons support mapping only, not macro functions.
Joystick Sensitivity & Dead Zones: Adjust joystick sensitivity curves and dead zones, including 0 dead zone and negative dead zone options, to optimize for your playstyle.
Vibration Levels: Fine-tune the vibration intensity for a more immersive gaming experience.
Trigger Mode Switching: Easily switch between Linear Trigger Mode (ideal for racing games) and Quick Trigger Mode (for rapid response in shooting games).
Turbo Function: Set up continuous firing for specific buttons.
