Troubleshooting

Controller not recognized by PC/PS3

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the controller and the device. Try plugging into a different USB port. Restart your PC or PS3 after connecting the controller.

Vibration feature not working

Verify that the game you are playing supports vibration feedback. Check the game's in-game settings to ensure vibration is enabled. Some games may require specific driver configurations, though the K-pad Thorium is designed for automatic detection.

Buttons are unresponsive or sticky

Clean the buttons gently with a dry cotton swab. If the issue persists, it may indicate a hardware problem, and you may need to contact customer support.
