FAQ

Which mode is best for PC?
Use the 2.4G dongle for the lowest-latency, most stable PC link; app settings work over dongle and wired, not Bluetooth.
The indicator keeps flashing slowly and won't connect.
Re-seat the dongle, set the rear switch to the dongle icon, hold HOME to keep it in pairing, and keep the controller close to the dongle.
