02. Assistant Application
The BIGBIG WON ELITE Assistant Application allows for real-time parameter adjustment of the controller. It offers more extensive customization than quick settings, including fine-tuning lighting effects, haptic feedback simulation, joystick and trigger sensitivity, button mapping, and macros. The application also enables saving and loading multiple configuration profiles.
Note: Using the app to write a configuration and then using quick settings will change the configuration. When the app is opened again, it will read the current joystick configuration and create an "Unnamed" configuration in use.
03. Connection
This controller is a wired unit and requires only a Type-C cable to connect to the host device.
Mode Compatibility: The controller supports both Xinput and Switch modes. Ensure you switch to the corresponding mode for your host device after connecting. The default mode is Xinput.
- PC Platform: For Steam, enable "Support XBOX Configuration" in "Settings - Controller - General Controller Settings". Failure to do so may result in the controller not being recognized in-game.
- Switch Platform: After connecting to a Switch, navigate to "Settings - Controller & Sensors - Pro Controller Wired Communication" and enable it.
04. Mode Switching
To switch between Xinput and Switch modes:
- Press and hold the A + HOME buttons for 3 seconds. The Mode Indicator will turn red, indicating Switch mode.
- Press and hold the B + HOME buttons for 3 seconds. The Mode Indicator will turn green, indicating Xinput mode.
05. Light Effects
The controller features various light effects that can be cycled through or turned off by double-clicking the FN button.
Quick settings allow switching between pre-set light effects. For full customization of color, brightness, mode, and switching speed, download and use the BIGBIG WON application.
06. Mappings
The controller has two expandable buttons (M1/M2) that support button mapping.
- To Set Mapping: Press and hold FN + (M1/M2). The Mode Indicator will pulse green, indicating mapping mode. Press the desired front button to assign to M1/M2. The Mode Indicator will flash green twice to confirm successful mapping.
- To Clear Mappings: Press and hold the button (M1/M2) you wish to unmap. Double-click the FN button. The Mode Indicator will flash green twice, indicating the mapping for that button has been cleared.
Shortcut settings only allow mapping controller buttons to the back buttons (M1/M2). For changing all controller buttons, use the application.
07. Turbo
This controller supports Turbo settings for eight buttons: A/B/X/Y/LT/RT/LB/RB.
- To Set Turbo: Press and hold FN + [Button to set]. The Mode Indicator will flash orange, indicating success. When Turbo is active, LED2 and LED3 will flash according to the Turbo frequency.
- To Clear Turbo: Press and hold the button you wish to clear Turbo from. Double-click the FN button. The Mode Indicator will flash orange twice, indicating the Turbo setting for that button has been cleared.
- Turbo Frequency: Press and hold FN + [Directional Button] to cycle through three frequencies: 20/5/5 s/10. The default is 5/5.
Shortcut settings only support Turbo for the eight specified buttons. The application allows Turbo settings for all controller buttons.
08. Macro Recording
The controller supports macro recording. Each macro set must be linked to a back button (M1/M2) as the trigger.
Supported Buttons for Recording: A/B/X/Y, LT/RT/LB/RB, RS/LS, D-pad.
- To Record Macro: Press and hold FN + (M1/M2) for 3 seconds. The Mode Indicator will pulse red, indicating macro recording state. Press controller buttons to record the macro. Click FN when recording is complete. The Mode Indicator will flash red twice to confirm recording completion. During macro playback, all four LEDs will flash from left to right until playback ends.
- To Clear Macro: Press and hold the button (M1/M2) you wish to clear the macro from. Double-click the FN button. The Mode Indicator will flash red twice, indicating the macro setting for that button has been cleared.
Shortcut settings offer approximate macro recording. The application allows for detailed macro editing, including step duration and interval length, and can store multiple macro sets for instant selection.
09. Haptic Feedback Simulation
This controller supports simulated haptic feedback using its built-in gyroscope to simulate Left and Right joystick data for in-game haptic control.
Simulated Haptic Feedback Modes:
- Comprehensive Left Joystick Haptic Feedback
- Comprehensive Right Joystick Haptic Feedback
- Right Joystick Response Haptic Feedback
Activation Methods:
- Press and hold FN + Left Stick Down (LS) to activate "Comprehensive Left Joystick Haptic Feedback".
- Press and hold FN + Right Stick Down (RS) to activate "Comprehensive Right Joystick Haptic Feedback".
- Press and hold FN + [Button to assign] + Right Stick Down (RS) to activate "Right Joystick Response Haptic Feedback".
Shortcut settings only allow turning simulated haptic feedback on/off. For optimal experience, different configurations may be needed in the application depending on the game. Therefore, simulated haptic feedback should be used with the application.
Note for Switch Games: For native haptic feedback games on the Switch platform, do not enable simulated haptic feedback, as it may cause conflicts and a worse experience.
10. Native Haptic Feedback
The Switch main unit supports native haptic control for most games by default. This controller can directly perform native haptic control without any settings. Ensure simulated haptic feedback is turned off.
11. Gyroscope Calibration
Place the controller on a horizontal table. Press and hold FN + Triangle Button. All four LEDs will light up and slowly breathe until the LED flashes twice and turns off, indicating calibration is complete.
12. Quick Trigger
This controller supports Quick Trigger settings for LT/RT, enhancing rapid linear trigger clicks. A Quick Trigger activated trigger will register an input at any distance pressed and can be pressed again without returning to its original position, maximizing rapid press rates.
- To Turn Quick Trigger On/Off: Press and hold the Triangle Button + LT/RT. The Mode Indicator will flash blue, indicating the "Quick Trigger" setting for that trigger has been successfully enabled. Pressing the Triangle Button + LT/RT again will flash the Mode Indicator blue again, indicating the "Quick Trigger" setting has been successfully disabled.
Shortcut settings only support enabling/disabling Quick Trigger. The application also supports setting left and right triggers, front dead zones, and back dead zones.
13. Joystick Calibration
If joysticks show severe deviation, cannot reach maximum value, or triggers automatically output values without reaching maximum linear value, you can attempt joystick and trigger calibration.
- Press and hold the Display Button + Menu Button for 3 seconds. The four LED indicators will breathe slowly.
- Push the joysticks to their maximum extent and rotate them in a full circle. Repeat 3-5 times.
- Press the LT/RT buttons to their maximum and release. Repeat 5 times.
- Finally, press the Display Button + Menu Button simultaneously. The LED indicators will flash twice and then turn off, indicating calibration is complete.
14. Screenshot
This controller supports one-touch screenshots. In both Xinput and Switch modes, clicking the Triangle Button acts as the screenshot button.
Screenshot files on PC are saved in "This PC - Pictures - Screenshots".
15. Audio
The controller supports audio input/output. After connecting to the host, plug your headset with a microphone into the 3.5mm audio port located at the bottom of the controller.
Volume can also be adjusted using key combinations (this volume adjustment function is only supported on PC).
16. Vibration Adjustment
This controller supports four levels of vibration adjustment. Press FN + [Directional Button] to cycle through trigger motor vibration levels: Strong, Medium, Weak, and Off.
