If you haven’t heard of 8Bitdo check them out. They have an amazing line of wireless controllers. I personally love my SN30 Pro.
The other day I wanted to play some Cuphead and to my dismay the controller wasn’t responding. When I disconnected the USB cable (as I was charging it and using ti at the same time just recently prior) the charge light remained lit.
baffled I tried looking in the manual, and trying different button combinations and holds, after all this failed I googled which lead me to this reddit form
To my amazement the reply by “Tamoketh”
“The orange light stayed on?
Hold the Start button until the orange light turns off. Then turn on as normal.”
actually worked, I don’t know why this wasn’t written in the user manual, considering it has no direct power button.
