FAQs
The DPAD is not working in the correct mode. How do I fix it?
Make sure that the mode switch is in the correct mode (if DP is to the left) or RS (to the right). Not all games use the same input method, so it’s best to check what mode your game accepts for movement/etc.
My controller is acting weird. How do I reset the controller?
You can reset the controller to factory settings by pressing the button through the small hole on the back of the shell. A small paperclip or pin should be perfect to press this button.
Why is my D6 not connecting to my PC?
Make sure that after you plug in the USB dongle that you hold down the top of the USB dongle so that it enters pairing mode. Simply press sync on the top of the controller to instantly complete the connection.
How do I check for the latest firmware?
Our firmware updates will be listed on the controller’s product page on our website (RetroFighters.com)
