Mode switching on the original KingKong Pro is done entirely with the dedicated Mode button — there is no face-button combo. Hold Mode ~2 seconds to cycle through Switch, PC X-input, PC D-input and Android, and the working-mode indicator shows the active mode. Pick the mode that matches your host before pairing. On Windows, X-input suits most modern games while D-input (DirectInput) helps with older titles and emulators. Always re-pair after changing modes.

FAQ

X-input or D-input on PC?

Is there an iOS or Mac mode?
The original KingKong Pro lists Switch, PC X-input, PC D-input and Android. iOS/macOS modes came on later KingKong models.
