Reset the wireless G7 Pro when it will not power on or a firmware update stalls. First set the mode switch to Bluetooth and hold HOME; if nothing lights after 2 seconds, poke the small reset hole on the back for about 4 seconds with a pin, then power on again. For stuck or glitchy inputs during play, HOME + M for 4 seconds clears the controller without a full reset. Note that sliding the switch to the middle position simply turns the G7 Pro off.

FAQ

Where is the reset hole?
It is a small pinhole on the back of the controller; press it for about 4 seconds with a SIM pin or paperclip.
The middle switch position seems dead.
That is intentional — the middle position powers the G7 Pro off; pick Bluetooth or 2.4G/Wired to use it.
