2. Press the desired key you wish to assign (e.g., A, B, X, Y, RB, LB).
3. Press M1 (or M2) again to save the assignment. The light ring will flash three times, indicating successful saving.

4.2. Recording Multiple Keys (Macro)

1. Hold FN + M1 (or M2) to enter recording mode.
2. Press the sequence of keys you want to record (e.g., A, B, X, Y, RB, LB). The timing between key presses will be recorded.
3. Press M1 (or M2) again to save the macro. The light ring will flash three times.
4. When you press the assigned back button, it will automatically send the entire recorded combo.

4.3. Clearing an Assignment

• For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild cleaning solution.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the controller's finish.

Troubleshooting

1. Connection Issues

• Controller not pairing: Ensure the controller is in the correct pairing mode (e.g., Y+Home for Switch). Check your device's Bluetooth settings.
• Intermittent connection: Ensure the controller is within range of your device. For 2.4G wireless, ensure the Dual-Core Receiver is securely plugged in and not obstructed.
• Wired connection not recognized: Try a different USB-C cable or USB port. Ensure the cable is fully inserted.

2. Joystick Drift or Trigger Malfunction

If joysticks or triggers exhibit unintended movement or fail to register input correctly, perform the calibration steps detailed in the "Operating Instructions" section (Joystick and Trigger Calibration).

3. Programmable Button Issues

• Button not responding: Ensure the button has been correctly assigned. Try clearing the assignment and re-recording it.
• Macro timing issues: Use the Keylinker 2.0 mobile app for more precise timing adjustments in macros.

4. App Connectivity Issues

If you encounter issues with the Keylinker 2.0 app, ensure your controller is connected to your mobile device via Bluetooth and the app is updated to the latest version.
