The KingKong 3 Max changes platform with a double-click of the Mode button (short press powers on, long-press powers off). Cycle between Switch, PC and Mobile; on PC the controller works as an Xbox-style XInput pad with a DirectInput option for legacy titles, and Mobile emulates an Xbox controller for Android/iOS. The Controller Mode indicator shows the active platform. The logo light is white by default and turns blue when custom settings are applied — that is a settings indicator, not a platform code, so confirm exact per-platform LED behavior on the unit.

FAQ
