The Vader 4 Pro picks its host platform with the rear switch (dongle / Bluetooth / NS / mobile) and toggles PC input protocols with button combos: hold HOME + X for X-input (white LED) and HOME + A for D-input (blue LED). Most modern PC games want X-input; switch to D-input only for older titles. Switch mode is selected by the rear NS position and shows a blue LED.
