Usage Features
Initial Setup and Charging:
Before first use, it is crucial to fully charge the controllers. The controllers can be charged using the supplied USB cable. During charging, the 4 LED indicators on the controller will light up when fully charged. It is important to use only the provided charging cable and avoid connecting the controllers to the console while charging via USB to prevent potential damage.
Connecting ii-Con Controllers:
To activate the controllers, press one of the directional pad buttons on the left joystick or one of the action buttons ("A", "B", "X", "Y") on the right joystick. Once connected, the LED indicator will flash. It is important to avoid touching the joysticks during connection to prevent drift phenomena. If drift occurs, turn off the controllers and reconnect them.
Synchronizing ii-Con Controllers:
