The KingKong 3 Pro (NS38) keeps platform selection and pairing on separate buttons. Always set the correct platform mode first by double-clicking the Mode button, then long-press SYNC for ~2 seconds to broadcast. Pairing differs slightly per host: Switch pairs from the Change Grip/Order screen, while PC, Android, iOS and macOS pair from their own Bluetooth menu where the controller appears as "GuliKit Controller". For wired use, simply connect the USB-C cable.

FAQ

Which button starts pairing — Mode or SYNC?
SYNC starts pairing (long-press ~2s). The Mode button only powers the controller on/off and changes the platform mode.
Do I need to pick a mode before pairing?
Yes. Double-click Mode to the matching platform first, otherwise the controller may be discovered in the wrong protocol.
