A reset on the Tarantula Pro means re-entering pairing: hold the Pairing button for 2 sec until the channels blink fast, which drops the current link and reopens discovery. For dongle problems, hold the dongle's pairing button too. If inputs are still wrong after re-pairing, update firmware and recalibrate in GameSir Connect.

FAQ

How do I re-pair the dongle specifically?
Hold the dongle's pairing button until it blinks fast, then hold the controller's Pairing button until channels 1, 2, 4, 5 flash; both go solid when re-linked.
Buttons or a stick still misbehave.
Connect over USB or the dongle (XInput) to GameSir Connect, update to the latest firmware, then test buttons and recalibrate the sticks.
