Macro Programming

The F700 Flat Elite supports macro programming, allowing you to record a sequence of button presses and assign them to a single button (e.g., M1). Refer to the official Mayflash website for detailed instructions on macro setup, as the process can vary by firmware version.

Button Mapping

You can remap buttons to customize your control scheme. This feature allows you to assign any button's function to another button, including the M1 button. Consult the Mayflash official website or the included quick start guide for specific button remapping procedures.

The specific method for switching between SOCD modes is typically detailed in the full manual or on the Mayflash support page.

Audio and Chat

For platforms supporting it (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC Xinput), you can connect a wired headset to the 3.5mm audio jack on the controller for in-game audio and voice chat.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your controller:

Troubleshooting

• Controller not recognized: Ensure the Platform Selector Dial is set to the correct platform. Try a different USB port or cable. For wireless, ensure the receiver is properly plugged in and paired.
• Buttons not responding: Check if the controller is properly connected. Test buttons in a different game or system. Ensure no button remapping or macro is interfering.
• Wireless connection issues: Ensure the controller is charged. Reduce distance between controller and receiver/device. Avoid interference from other wireless devices. Re-pair the controller.
• Audio not working: Ensure your headset is fully plugged into the 3.5mm jack. Check system audio settings. Verify the platform supports audio output via the controller.
