3. Setup Guide

3.1 Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge the GuliKit ES PRO controller using the included USB-C cable. Connect the cable to the controller's USB-C port and the other end to a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, wall adapter). The charging indicator will show the charging status.

3.2 Firmware Update

It is highly recommended to update the ES PRO controller to the latest firmware (V2.8 or newer) from the official GuliKit website before use. Firmware updates often include performance improvements and bug fixes, such as addressing latency issues on iOS and Android devices in PC mode.

3.3 Pairing Instructions

3.3.1 PC (Windows) Pairing

1. Set the controller to PC mode using the switch on the back.
2. Turn on the controller.
3. Hold the pairing button for 2 seconds until the indicator flashes quickly.
4. On your PC, go to Bluetooth & other devices settings and add a new Bluetooth device. Select the GuliKit ES PRO controller to pair.
5. For optimal performance on Windows 10/11, disable "Show notifications to connect using 'Swift Pair'" in Bluetooth settings. This can reduce latency by 50-300Hz.
6. When connecting multiple devices to one Bluetooth adapter, bandwidth sharing may lower polling rates. For optimal performance, use one adapter per controller.
7. Use 5GHz Wi-Fi to avoid 2.4GHz interference with Bluetooth, which may reduce polling rates.

3.3.2 Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 Pairing (with Wake-up)

To enable Switch 2 wake-up capability, follow this specific pairing method:

1. Set the controller to NS mode using the switch on the back.
2. Turn on the controller.
3. Hold the pairing button for 2 seconds until the indicator flashes quickly to start pairing.
4. Set your Switch 2 console into sleep mode first (black screen).
5. Press the HOME button on a Joy-Con to wake the screen.
6. Next, enter the controller pairing interface on your Switch 2 and pair the GuliKit ES PRO.

Note: Pairing by the regular method without setting Switch 2 into sleep mode first will result in pairing but without Switch 2 wake-up support.

3.3.3 Android, iOS, and macOS Pairing

Pairing with Android, iOS, and macOS devices is done in PC Mode on the back of the controller. Follow the standard Bluetooth pairing procedure for your device after setting the controller to PC mode and initiating pairing.

4. Operating the Controller

4.1 Switching Modes

The controller features a mode switch on the back to easily toggle between different compatibility modes (e.g., PC, NS). Ensure the correct mode is selected for your target device.

4.2 Adjustable Joystick Sensitivity (ES PRO Only)

The ES PRO allows adjustment of joystick sensitivity to three levels:

• 50%: Recommended for anti-motion sickness or more precise aiming.
• 100%: Default setting for regular use.
• 150%: Recommended for games requiring faster turning or diagonal running, particularly in FPS games.

Refer to the controller's direct customization instructions or the GuliKit web-based tool for details on how to adjust this setting.

4.3 Turbo Function

The controller supports semi-auto and full-auto Turbo functions for various buttons (A/B/X/Y/R/ZR). Consult the controller's specific button combination instructions for activation and deactivation.

4.4 Gyroscope Motion Control

• 6-axis Gyroscope: Supported for motion control in compatible Switch games.
• Patented Gyro Motion Aim: Available for PC FPS gaming, allowing for faster and more precise aiming.

4.5 D-pad Modes

The D-pad can be switched between 8-direction and 4-direction modes. This feature can be useful for precise weapon swapping in FPS games. Refer to the controller's direct customization instructions for mode switching.

4.6 Physical ABXY SWAP

The controller supports physical swapping of ABXY key-caps to match different layouts (e.g., Switch layout). Note: Switch-layout key-caps are not included in the package and must be purchased separately.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Battery Care

• To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the controller frequently.
• Store the controller in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
• The auto-sleep function after 15 minutes of inactivity helps conserve power.

5.2 Cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surface of the controller. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the controller's ports or openings. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

5.3 Storage

When storing the controller, especially for long periods, ensure it is turned off. Keep it away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and high humidity.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Controller Not Connecting/Pairing

• Ensure the controller is charged.
• Verify the mode switch on the back of the controller is set to the correct platform (PC, NS).
• Ensure the controller is in pairing mode (indicator flashing quickly).
• On your device, remove any previous pairings of the controller and attempt to pair again.
• Restart both the controller and the device you are trying to connect to.

6.2 Latency Issues

• Firmware: Ensure the controller has the latest firmware installed from the GuliKit website.
• Wi-Fi Interference: If using 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, consider switching your Wi-Fi network to 5GHz to minimize interference with the controller's Bluetooth signal.
• PC Settings: On Windows, disable "Show notifications to connect using 'Swift Pair'" in Bluetooth settings.
• Multiple Bluetooth Devices: If multiple Bluetooth devices are connected to a single adapter, consider using a dedicated Bluetooth adapter for the controller.

6.3 Joystick Drift

The GuliKit ES PRO features TMR joysticks designed to be anti-drift. If you experience any joystick drift, ensure the controller's firmware is up to date. If the issue persists, a recalibration might be necessary via the GuliKit web-based tool or specific controller button combinations (refer to GuliKit's official support resources).

6.4 Switch 2 Wake-up Not Working

Ensure you followed the special pairing method for Switch 2 wake-up as described in Section 3.3.2. The Switch 2 must be in sleep mode before initiating the pairing process from the controller and then waking the console with a Joy-Con.
