The KingKong 3 Pro selects its platform with the dedicated Mode button: short press = power on, double-click = change mode, long press = power off. Modes cover Switch, PC (XInput via wired/2.4G), and Android/iOS/macOS over Bluetooth. The active platform is shown by the Controller Mode indicator together with the platform icons printed on the controller's top edge. Always set the right mode before pairing or connecting — the wrong mode causes swapped buttons or a non-detected pad. Note: the colored joystick rings indicate stick sensitivity, not platform.

FAQ

How do I tell which mode I'm in?
Read the Controller Mode indicator against the platform icons printed on the top edge. If inputs are wrong on a host, double-click Mode to the matching platform.
Does USB-C change the mode?
Wired USB-C generally enumerates as PC/XInput on Windows. For Switch or mobile, set that mode with Mode and use Bluetooth.
