ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
ADJUSTING THE OPTICAL WHEEL’S SENSITIVITY
The optical wheel (4)has 2 sensitivity modes:
- Normal sensitivity (the default mode)
- High sensitivity (must be set)
•Setting “High Sensitivity” mode:
Steps
Action
HOME button
1
Raise and hold the “UP” direction on the optical wheel
Flashes continuously
2
Press and release the MAPPING button (7)
Your optical wheel is now more sensitive
(Procedure must be carried out each time the gamepad restarts or is disconnected)
•Returning to “Normal Sensitivity” mode:
Steps
Action
HOME button

2 PROGRAMMING MODES
The PRESET button and LED (8) allows you to view the type of programming selected:
AUTOMATIC (preprogrammed) or MANUAL (programmed by yourself). A single press of this button
allows you (even during the course of a game) to switch from one programming mode to the other.
•“AUTOMATIC PRESET” (PRESET button OFF)
This represents the default programming: the functions of the optical wheel and the triggers are
preprogrammed, as are the positions of the buttons and the directions of the mini-sticks and of the D-Pad.
PLEASE REFER TO THE “AUTOMATIC PRESET” CONFIGURATION DIAGRAMS
•“MANUAL PRESET” (PRESET button GREEN)
This represents your own personal programming:
- The buttons, directions of the mini-sticks and of the D-Pad can either be
* programmed on the optical wheel and on the triggers,
* or switched between themselves.
- You can modify the programming to your liking and whenever you wish.
- The programming is automatically saved inside your gamepad (even when disconnected).
- When your “MANUAL PRESET” is clear, it is identical to the “AUTOMATIC PRESET”.

POSSIBLE USES IN GAMES
The optical wheel (thanks to its technology and degree of rotation greater than that of any mini-stick)
offers unparalleled precision and stability in all types of games: racing (ultra-precise steering), flying
(rudder), action and FPS (progressive zoom), sports (measured shot, strength of hit), etc.
The triggers (thanks to their progressive action and range of mechanical travel greater than that of any
button) offer extremely precise control in all types of games: racing (progressive and independent
acceleration and braking, handbrake), action and FPS (rate of fire, lateral movement), sports (measured
pass or shot, strength of hit or jump, running speed), etc.
SOME EXAMPLES AND TIPS:
- There are numerous configuration possibilities, depending on the game you are playing.
- In certain games (racing type), do not hesitate to test out the 2 sensitivity modes for your optical wheel
(Normal or High) in order to optimize its precision and responsiveness.
