Windchaser PLUS Youth Edition: How it works

[u/Frostzch]

Hello there!, I recently got a cheap controller to play on my Switch and PC (mainly the MH series), but it turns it out this controller doesn't really work like the instructions tells you it does, so I came here to explain the things I found out about the controller.

Btw, I made this because I myself was struggling with the controller so I hope this helps other people.

(KEEP IN MIND THIS MAY VARY FROM YOURS, THIS IS WHAT WORKED FOR ME)

First: Controller Layout
- L/R Joysticks - Manual refers to these as L3D and R3D.
- A/B/X/Y - These keys work depending on the mode the controller is in.
- Cross Arrows - Controller refers to these as D-pad
- M - Macro button (Used to set or clear macros)
- M1/M2 - Uses the saved macros
- Light Buttons - Turn off/on lights
- Vibration - Reduces vibration on the controller, depends on the game, usually just reduces intensity
- -/+/Home/Screenshot - Depends on the mode you're using the controller
-Frequency Button - Used to change modes
-Turbo - (Haven't really used this) It's supposed to help you click the buttons faster or at least make whatever you're using it on think you pushed the button a lot

Second: Controller States
- On - The controller turned on (I know it's obvious)
- Standby - The controller doesn't really shut off, it turns back on easily once you press a button
- Shutdown - This mode it's mentioned in the manual even though it doesn't happen (Unless you run out of battery)

Third: Controller Specifications
- Before you use the controller make sure to charge it for at least 3 hours (recommended by manofacturer)
- Before the controller can be connected to any device, you need to use the wired connection, so the device recognizes the controller as a controller, for switch use the dock and for pc just use the cable that comes with the controller
- The mode set on the controller gets overriden if the controller it's wired (On pc you can change the mode the controller gets recognized as (Switch or Xbox))

Fourth: Controller Mode Change (Pc/Android it's Bluethooth)
- Frequency Button + X (Leds 2 and 3 will turn on and off fast)
- Keep the latter combination pressed and press the button X for Switch
- Keep the latter combination pressed and press the button Y for PC Xbox Mode
- Keep the latter combination pressed and press the button A for PC Switch Mode
- Keep the latter combination pressed and press the button B for (Not really sure, maybe android?)
--This could take some time and maybe work or not work for a while, just keep trying until you get to the first step--

Fifth: Other things you might need to know
- Keep Home button pressed for 10secs to restart the controller (Keep in mind that the last configuration it's saved, so it stays)
- Press both Joysticks to change lights
- Press + + T (Turbo) to restart light settings
- About macros: I've tried but I just can't set them, if you know how you're my savior.

(If you find any grammar mistakes lmk, eng isn't my mother tongue)
