• Store the controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Avoid placing heavy objects on the controller.

6.3 Battery Care

• Charge the controller regularly, even if not in frequent use, to maintain battery health.
• Avoid fully depleting the battery for extended periods.
• Do not attempt to replace the internal battery yourself. Contact support if battery issues arise.

7.1 Controller Not Powering On

• Ensure the controller is fully charged. Connect it to a power source and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes.
• Try pressing the Home button firmly.

7.2 Connection Issues (PC/Switch)

• For 2.4GHz Wireless: Ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into the device. Try a different USB port. Ensure the controller is powered on and within range.

• Test the controller in a different game or application to determine if the issue is specific to one title.
• Consider updating your PC's drivers or Switch's system software.

7.4 Joystick Drift (Unlikely due to Hall Effect)

While Hall Effect joysticks are designed to prevent drift, if you experience any unintended input, try the following:

• Recalibrate the joysticks through your device's settings (e.g., PC controller settings, Switch calibration menu).
• Ensure no physical debris is obstructing the joystick movement.
