The BEITONG ASURA 2 Game Controller (Model BTP-2585NS) is a multi-mode gaming peripheral designed for a versatile gaming experience across various platforms. This user manual provides comprehensive instructions for its operation, connection, and maintenance.
Function Description:
The BEITONG ASURA 2 is a wireless game controller that supports multiple connection modes, including Bluetooth and wired USB, making it compatible with a wide range of devices. It features a standard gamepad layout with two analog sticks, a D-Pad, ABXY action buttons, shoulder buttons (LB, RB), triggers (LT, RT), and dedicated SELECT, START, TURBO, and HOME buttons. The controller also incorporates motion sensing capabilities, particularly useful for Nintendo Switch gaming.
Key functions include:
- Power ON/OFF: The controller can be powered on by pressing the BEITONG LOGO Button. To power off, users must press and hold the SELECT button + B button for approximately 3 seconds. The controller also features automatic shutdown functions: after 10 minutes of inactivity when connected, after 120 seconds of inactivity when not connected, or when the battery power is low (below 30%).
- TURBO Function: This allows users to set any action button (A, B, X, Y, LB, RB, LT, RT) to a rapid-fire mode. Pressing and holding the TURBO button in the power-on state, then pressing an action button, activates the TURBO function for that button. Repeating the action cancels it.
- Motion Sensing Adjustment: Specifically for Nintendo Switch connections, the controller's motion sensing sensitivity can be adjusted. Pressing TURBO + D-Pad LEFT reduces sensitivity, while TURBO + D-Pad RIGHT enhances it.
- Vibration Intensity Adjustment: The controller's vibration feedback can be customized. Pressing TURBO + D-Pad UP enhances vibration intensity, and TURBO + D-Pad DOWN weakens it.
- Joystick Calibration: To address issues like joystick drift or unresponsiveness, a calibration function is available. This involves pressing SELECT + START + Right Joystick (RS) to enter calibration mode, rotating both joysticks clockwise 2-3 turns, and then pressing SELECT + START + Right Joystick (RS) again to exit.
- Screenshot/Screen Recording (NS Mode): In Nintendo Switch mode, a short press of TURBO + RS takes a screenshot, while a long press initiates screen recording.
- Toggle A/B Button Value: The controller's working mode and corresponding key values can be switched by pressing the LOGO button + B. This affects how A and B buttons are interpreted across different platforms (NS mode, Wired PC Mode, BFM Mode).
- Firmware Upgrade and Key Test: The BEITONG Gamepad Assistant software allows for firmware upgrades and key testing to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
