5. Wartung

5.1. Reinigung

To clean your 8Bitdo M30 controller, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these may damage the surface or internal components.

5.2. Batteriepflege

To prolong the life of your controller's battery:

• Setzen Sie den Controller keinen extremen Temperaturen (Hitze oder Kälte) aus.
• Bewahren Sie den Controller an einem kühlen, trockenen Ort auf, wenn Sie ihn nicht verwenden.
• Bei längerer Lagerung sollte darauf geachtet werden, dass die Batterie nur teilweise geladen ist (etwa 50 %), um eine Tiefentladung zu vermeiden.

6. Fehlerbehebung

6.1. Verbindungsprobleme

• Ensure the controller is in the correct mode for your platform (Switch, X-Input, D-Input, macOS).
• Verify that Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the controller is within range.
• Versuchen Sie, den Controller erneut zu koppeln, indem Sie die Einrichtungsanweisungen für Ihre spezifische Plattform befolgen.
• Check the battery indicator to ensure the controller has sufficient charge.

6.2. Button Mapping Discrepancies (Nintendo Switch)

When using the M30 controller with Nintendo Switch, particularly with classic game compilations, you may encounter unexpected button mapping (e.g., A mapping to B, or C mapping to a shoulder button). This is due to the Switch's default button assignments for Pro Controllers and the specific game's internal mapping.

While the Switch allows remapping of controls, some older game compilations may not fully support custom button assignments. For the most accurate classic experience, consider using the 8Bitdo Retro Receiver with original SEGA hardware, where button mapping is typically preserved as intended.

6.3. Firmware-Updates
