Controller Modes

PLEASE NOTE: Your Xero Wireless Controller must be paired and connected to the PS5 console to be able to do any of the following tasks.
Also, make sure the controller has not gone into sleep mode.
THE XERO CONTROLLER HAS TWO MODES TO OPERATE IN

Standard Controller Mode

In this mode, the controller will operate similarly to a regular PS5 controller.
The cluster of lights will change depending on the game you are playing or which menu you are in on the interface.

Xero Remap Mode

In this mode, the controller will always be ﬂashing many YELLOW lights. You are required to be in this mode to PLAY, MODIFY or DELETE a remapping Proﬁle.
TO SWITCH FROM EITHER MODE TO THE OTHER, HOLD (SHARE + OPTIONS) TOGETHER.

Manual Button Remapping

The following steps will guide you through the remapping procedure.
The example illustrated is remapping the button to one of the rear paddles, in this case, the FUNCTION R. The buttons being pressed in this process are indicated in RED below.
1. If the controller isn’t already in remap mode (ﬂashing YELLOW). Activate it by pressing and holding the SHARE + OPTIONS buttons together until the lights ﬂash YELLOW.
  - Proceed to 3 unless you want to change the SLOT being modiﬁed.
2. Quickly press the SHARE button to scroll through to desired slot 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 (here, SLOT2 is selected).
3. Press & hold the SHARE button while also holding the FUNCTION R paddle you wish to assign to, the lights will start to ﬂash quickly in BLUE, now release the buttons.
4. Select the () button that you want to re-map to the selected FUNCTION R paddle.
  - The BLUE lights will brieﬂy go solid to signify the remap has worked, then return to ﬂashing YELLOW.
5. Now, each time the FUNCTION R paddle is pressed it will produce (in our example) acommand.
  - The standardbutton on the controller will also function as normal.
6. If you wish to assign a second button to the other function paddle, simply repeat steps 3 & 4, selecting the desired paddle & button to change.
  - You can now either remap more buttons or leave in the current YELLOW ﬂashing state to continue gaming with the remap active.

Managing Proﬁles

Your Xero Wireless controller comes with 5 built-in Remap Proﬁles which you can customise to suit your gaming needs.
Each proﬁle is depicted by the number of lights illuminated on the controller.
To switch between proﬁles, quickly press the SHARE button when in “Remap” mode, and the lights will cycle through the 5 proﬁles continuously.

Stop on the one you want to modify, delete or keep active.
Each proﬁle can be conﬁgured individually with remapped buttons to suit a speciﬁc game. Within each proﬁle, you can remap as many buttons as you wish.
All of the remapped buttons are saved to the controller, so when you exit remap mode or turn oﬀ your controller, they will still be there when you turn it back on again.

When you turn back on the controller or return to remap mode, the proﬁle you were last in will be loaded and will be indicated by the corresponding number of lights.

Remapping Options

The remapping function of the Xero Wireless Controller allows you to:

Switch the buttons with each other.

Have several of the same buttons.
Have multiple buttons mapped to one.
Add buttons to the rear function paddles.

EXAMPLE:

If you wanted to change to the.
Make sure you are in Remap mode (YELLOW ﬂashing lights), change proﬁle (if you wish) using a quick press of the SHARE button.

Then hold SHARE +until the lights ﬂash BLUE, now release. Press, now the light will turn solid BLUE to signify it has been remapped, then will return to the ﬂashing YELLOW of the active slot.
Now pressing thebutton will have the effect of pressing the.
The buttonon the controller will still function as thetoo, so consider this when assigning buttons.

It is also easy to map multiple buttons to just one on the controller.
For example, you could have L1+L2 mapped to the single Function R paddle on the rear of the controller
To do this, simply press L1+L2 at the same time when assigning your buttons to Function R.

The following digital buttons can be used for remapping:

To reset an individual button within a proﬁle, hold SHARE and the speciﬁc button until the lights ﬂash BLUE, then simply press the SHARE button again; that button will now be the default PS5 button again.
To erase the mapping for a whole proﬁle, toggle to the desired one by tapping the SHARE button, then hold the SHARE button for about 3 seconds until all lights turn RED. That Proﬁle is now erased and returned to the default PS5 button setup.

Remember, the controller will only work with your modiﬁed buttons if the controller is still in “remap mode” with the YELLOW proﬁle lights illuminated on the controller.
