The G7 SE has no battery, so a reset is a button-combo refresh while it is plugged in. HOME + MENU for 5 seconds is the general function reset. If a PC or Xbox no longer detects the pad, HOME + M for 3 seconds restores the original device ID (PID) — replug afterward. HOME + Share for 3 seconds forces XInput, and M + Y reloads the default button 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.
After HOME + M nothing happens.
There is a short indicator cue, then you must unplug and replug the USB-C cable to finish the PID switch.
