  3. 3Launch the game with the X2 Pro already attached, or relaunch it after connecting.
  4. 4If a paddle does the wrong thing, re-map it (View + Menu + M1/M2).
  5. 5For drift or dead buttons, use the GameSir app to test inputs and tune dead zones.

The X2 Pro is wired and Android-only, so most problems are connection, power or app-permission related. Reseat the USB-C plug, remove bulky cases, and enable OTG (and USB debugging) on phones that need it. Misbehaving paddles are usually a stale map you can redo on the controller, while stick or button faults are best checked in the GameSir app.
