Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the controller, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the controller's finish and internal components.

Battery Care

To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the controller frequently. If storing the controller for an extended period, ensure it has a partial charge (around 50%) and recharge it every few months. Disconnect the controller from the Switch console when not in use to prevent unnecessary battery drain.

Troubleshooting

• Controller not pairing or frequent disconnects:
  • Ensure the controller is fully charged.
  • Verify the Switch console's system software is up to date.
  • Attempt to re-pair the controller by following the "Connecting to Nintendo Switch" steps.
  • Move closer to the console to rule out interference.
  • If issues persist, try restarting both the Switch console and the controller.
• Controller does not wake up Switch or re-pair after sleep:
  • The NYXI Wizard 2 does not support the Switch's wake-up function. You will need to manually wake the Switch console.
  • If the controller does not automatically re-pair, follow the pairing steps again.
• Joystick drift or inaccurate input on PC:
  • Perform joystick calibration using the Windows joy.cpl utility as described in the "Connecting to PC" section.
  • Ensure the controller's firmware is up to date (check the manufacturer's website for updates).
• Rapid battery drain:
  • Ensure the controller is powered off or disconnected from the Switch when not in use, especially overnight.
  • Avoid leaving the controller connected to a powered-on Switch console for extended periods without active use.
