Life After* : The size of the "Fire" virtual button should be reduced to the minimum => Move it to the upper left corner => Enlarge it to the biggest.
Mobile Legends Bang Bang* : R1 is not avaliable.
Dead by Daylight* : R1 is not avaliable.
Q: Why does the button position still not correspond?
A: Please turn over the phone screen for troubleshooting.
Q: Why can't I use G6 when I reboot my phone?
A: In the Bluetooth connection interface, if the "i" of the gamepad name is lowercase, then turn off the gamepad first, press X+HOME to restart the connection.
Q: When playing PUBG, why do the characters walk slowly instead of fast when pushing the joystick?
A: You need to enlarge the size of the joystick until the character can run.
Q: Why does a small dot flash when I press the button of the G6?
A: The small dots are simulating mouse clicks, which is normal and can be ignored.
Q: When pushing the joystick to move the character, what should I do if I press the L1 key at the same time and the character cannot move?
A: Except for the R1 key, other keys cannot be triggered at the same time. For example, when pressing L1 while pushing the joystick to move the character, the character will stop moving at this time, because only the last pressed L1 is triggered. Therefore, we recommend dragging the virtual buttons that need to be touched frequently and simultaneously onto R1.
Q: Why can't I find the gamepad firmware version 1.23?
A: Press Y+HOME to start the gamepad -> enter the G-Crux APP, click connect -> firmware upgrade -> other versions -> select the 1.23 version firmware in the list -> click to upgrade now.
Notes on button settings
When setting the button, pay attention to the following points:
1. We highly recommend you set R1 as the Fire button.
2. The mapping position of R1 is fixed in the upper left corner of the screen, so the user cannot customize the position of R1, but can only drag the button that wants to be set to R1 to the upper left corner in the game.
3. Except R1, other buttons support the following three modes:
1) Click Mode
a. Normal
b. Semi-auto
c. Separated
2) Magic Mode
3) Turbo Mode
