Like the SE, the Hall Effect G7 HE has no battery, so a reset is a button-combo refresh while plugged in. HOME + MENU for 5 seconds is the general function reset. HOME + M for 3 seconds restores the original device ID (PID) if the system stops detecting the pad — replug afterward. HOME + Share for 3 seconds forces XInput, and M + Y reloads the default profile.

FAQ

Which reset should I try first?
Start with HOME + MENU for 5 seconds; use HOME + M only if the system stops recognizing the controller.
Does resetting affect the Hall sticks?
No; a reset only refreshes firmware state and profile. For drift use calibration, not reset.
