The Apex 3 changes platform mode through its on-screen menu, not button combos. Hold HOME 3s, open Mode, and pick XInput (PC), DInput, Switch, Android, FlashPlay (instant mobile mapping) or iOS. The controller re-enters pairing in the new mode after you confirm.

FAQ

Which mode for Steam / PC games?
Use XInput; most PC games detect it as a standard Xbox-style controller. DInput suits older or DirectInput titles.
What is FlashPlay mode?
FlashPlay is Flydigi's built-in mobile mapping that works without activating an app on the phone — just pair and play.
