Why there is mismatching when APG runs?
Signal loss during Bluetooth tranmission may cause mismatching issue during APG mode. If you meet this issue, you may try to fix this by running some more at a blocking area during recording step.
For instance, in the game Mario U, let Mario run one second more at a blocking area.

If you use on PC, you may download XINPUT test software from our site to test sticks and buttons.
If you use on Switch,you can test from console Setting-Controller and Sensors-Check input setting,calibrate stick- test sticks and buttons.

Note:  Many TVs have game mode, and make sure the game mode is on.
Turn off the settings on your TV for dynamic compensation and noise reduction functions which may cause bad delay. Different names such as sports compensation and frame rate compensation may be used on different TVs.

 

Why is there delay for Bluetooth wireless connection to computer with the controller?
1. If a Bluetooth adapter is used for connection between the computer and controller,please make sure there is no WIFI router or similar wireless devices close to the adapter to avoid signal intereferences.
2.Most Bluetooth adapters work as a simple wireless transmitter and receiver with Bluetooth driver installation requested on computer, and the driver calls the computer's CPU for computation. So delay may occur when CPU is occupied much,or there is issue with the adapter,driver itself or different driver versions.  A unique controller Bluetooth adapter will be built by us with built-in CPU computation capability. No driver is needed and such delay will be quite eliminated.
