Operating Instructions

Joystick Calibration (TMR Hall-Effect)

The TMR Hall-Effect Joysticks are designed for high precision and minimal drift. If you experience any issues, a recalibration might be necessary. Refer to your console's system settings for controller calibration options.

Trigger Mode Switching (NGC Linear Hall Trigger)

The controller features dual-mode triggers. You can switch between the linear Hall-effect mode for analog input (ideal for racing games) and the micro-switch mode for digital, rapid input (ideal for FPS games). The method for switching modes is typically a physical switch or a button combination on the controller. Consult the quick start guide included with your product for specific instructions.

Programmable Back Buttons (ML/MR)

The ML and MR buttons on the back of the controller are programmable. This allows you to assign specific functions or button combinations to them for quick access during gameplay.

  1. Entering Programming Mode: Press and hold the "SET" button (or equivalent, refer to your quick start guide) and the desired ML/MR button simultaneously until an indicator light flashes.
  2. Assigning Function: Press the button(s) you wish to map to the ML/MR button.
  3. Exiting Programming Mode: Press the "SET" button again to save the setting. The indicator light will turn off.

NFC Functionality (Amiibo Support)

The controller supports NFC for Amiibo figures. To use an Amiibo, place it on the NFC touchpoint of the controller (usually near the center or a designated area) during gameplay when prompted by the game.
