Troubleshooting
Controller not recognized by iOS device
Ensure the controller is officially MFi certified and your iOS device is running a compatible version. Check that the Type-C connection is secure on both ends. Restart both your device and the controller.
Sticky or unresponsive analog sticks
Although designed with Hall Effect sticks to prevent drift, ensure no physical obstructions are present. Clean around the base of the sticks with compressed air. If issues persist, contact support.
Phone does not fit securely in the stretch design
Verify your phone's dimensions fall within the 125-215mm range. Ensure any phone case is not excessively thick, as it might interfere with a secure fit. Adjust the controller's grip carefully.
Buttons are not registering inputs
Confirm that the game you are playing supports controller input and that the controller is properly connected. Try restarting the game and the controller. If the issue persists, check for firmware updates if available.
