5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Adjusting Joystick Tension

The NYXI Imperial features adjustable tension rings around the joysticks. Rotate the rings clockwise to increase tension (stiffer feel) or counter-clockwise to decrease tension (softer feel). Adjust to your preference for different game genres.

5.2 Changing ABXY Button Layout

The ABXY buttons are interchangeable to match PC or Switch layouts. Gently pull the buttons to remove them and reinsert them in the desired configuration. Ensure they click into place securely.

5.3 Using Dual-Mode Triggers

A physical toggle switch on the underside of the controller allows you to select between two trigger modes:

• Short Pull (Mouse Click): Ideal for FPS games, providing rapid, tactile feedback.
• Full Linear Pull (Hall-Effect): Suitable for racing games, offering precise, gradual input.

5.4 Programming M Buttons

The M1 and M2 buttons on the back of the controller can be programmed to replicate other button inputs or sequences. Refer to the detailed instructions in the included physical manual for specific programming steps. To prevent accidental activation, long press any M button for 3 seconds to lock its function.

5.5 Turbo Function

The Turbo function allows a button to be repeatedly pressed automatically when held down. Consult the full user manual for instructions on how to assign and activate the Turbo function for specific buttons.

6. Maintenance
