Using the Share Button

Refer to Xbox documentation for details on functions and features related to the Share Button.

Attaching Headphones

• For audio, fully insert the 3.5mm plug of your headphones (or headset/earbuds) into the 3.5 mm audio jack of the controller.
• Adjust the volume using the Audio settings in Xbox Settings and audio controls on your headphones.
• Audio settings on your Xbox will control the audio delivered to your headphones. Refer to your Xbox and headphone documentation for additional details.
• To avoid hearing damage, do not use high volume settings for an extended period of time.

Setting Trigger Depth

• Adjust the trigger pull depth by sliding the trigger lock under each trigger to the left or right.
• The pull depth of each trigger can be set independently.

Note: Trigger lock adjustments set physical trigger depth preferences. Preset profiles or digital trigger settings in the Gamer HQ app set actuation or deadzone percentage for each trigger pull.

Profile Control

1. Quick-tap the PROFILES button to cycle through profile settings for T1/T2/T3 trigger locks. The controller can store up to 3 profiles locally. The first 3 profiles set by default adjust trigger deadzone settings.
   • Profile 1: 99% deadzone (quickest maximum value, use for T1 trigger lock).
   • Profile 2: 50% deadzone (use for T2 trigger lock).
   • Profile 3: No deadzone/full-throw trigger pull (use for T3 trigger lock).
2. Each press of the PROFILE/PROGRAM button cycles through profiles: 3 ➡️ 1 ➡️ 2 ➡️ 3.
3. The top housing LED indicator will flash the number of times related to the profile version to signal a change, then return to solid.
4. To clear profiles or change settings, use the PowerA Gamer HQ app. Default settings are saved as legacy settings (Profile 1 / Profile 2 / Profile 3) in the app. The app can store hundreds of custom profiles, but the controller can only store 3 at a time chosen from the app.
