A factory reset clears custom settings (paddle mapping, stick sensitivity, light colors) and stored Bluetooth pairings. On the KingKong 3 Pro hold (+) + A until a single long vibration confirms the reset. This is the fix for a controller that won't connect, has lingering custom remaps, or behaves oddly after a firmware change. After resetting you must pair again and, if needed, recalibrate the sticks.

FAQ

Does reset erase my back-paddle mapping?
Yes. (+) + A returns everything to factory defaults, including paddle maps, stick sensitivity and light colors.
The reset didn't take — what now?
Hold (+) + A a little longer until the long vibration; if it still misbehaves, reconnect by USB-C and reset settings from the GuliKit Setup Tool.
