LAYOUT

Directional Pad

The D-Pad controls the direction in which the character moves. It is also used
for navigating menu screens and is the preferred control for precision directional
macro moves.

Analog Sticks

The two analog sticks each control two axes (X-axis and Y-axis). Different software
titles will allow you to modify the way that the analog sticks react in the games.
The analog stick allows you to move your character with great movement depth.
Analog joysticks offer more variability in motion than the D-pad and are the
preferred method of control for many driving and action games. The left analog
controller is the most commonly used analog joystick for games.

Each analog stick has a button that is activated by pressing down on the stick.
These buttons are used to perform various actions, depending on the software. For
more details, see the software instruction manual.

USING THE MACRO FEATURE

Overview

The Control Pad Pro features a powerful macro function that will allow you
to easily activate secret moves in many games. When playing certain games,
especially fighting games, a combination of directional pad and action button
presses execute special moves for more intricate attacks.

The Macro function allows that a series of buttons will execute with the press of a
single button without failure. For example, some special fighting moves will require
detailed and specific button presses, ie. “left, left, right, down, A” which makes
the character activate a special move. This same move can be recorded with the
macro function and be flawlessly activated by pressing a single button, saving you
time and eliminating the risk of incorrect button presses.

Programming Macros

1. Press the Macro Button (macro button illuminates red)

2. Press the button to which the macro is to be assigned (macro button will start
flashing). There are four buttons available to program, BLACK, WHITE, LT, and
RT (see "Layout" for button location).

3. Press the button sequence desired. When a button is pressed the Macro light
will stop flashing until the button is released.

4. When finished, press the Macro button again and the Macro light will stop
flashing and turn OFF. Note: there is a limit of 32 commands. If you reach this
limit the macro light will stop flashing and turn OFF.
