Managing profiles
The gamepad includes two profiles loaded by default (1). Each profile corresponds to a storage space in which you can save the changes made with ThrustmapperX and use them in games on your Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One or your PC (Windows 10).

By default, the profiles include the following mapping for buttons:

Profile 1:
A, B, X and Y are duplicated on rear buttons 1 through 4.

• Reset the default settings for the profile.
• Export the profile, allowing you to export all of these settings to a file, which can then either be shared or reimported in the software.

Managing presets

Presets work the same way as profiles, but are stored in the ThrustmapperX software and not directly in the gamepad.
In this way, you can create as many presets as you like, and save them in one of the gamepad’s profiles (1 or 2) so that they can be used in games on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One or PC (Windows 10).
Click on the right-hand side of a preset (1) in order to:

• Load it into profile 1 or profile 2 for your ESWAP X PRO CONTROLLER.
• Rename the preset.
• Duplicate the preset: create a copy of the settings in a new preset.
• Delete the preset.
• Reset the default settings for the preset.
• Export the preset: create a copy of the settings in a file, which can then either be shared or reimported in the software.

Mapping of buttons

You can modify the mapping of the gamepad’s buttons according to your gaming preferences.

• You can modify the functions of all buttons apart from: Xbox/Nexus, Share, View, Menu, as well as the Profile, Mapping, Volume and Microphone buttons.
• Only the M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 and M6 buttons can be mapped with a duplicate button.
• You can only map a single button onto another button: no combos (i.e. combinations of two or more buttons) are possible.

• The drop-down menu in the upper left-hand corner (1) lets you switch between profiles and presets in the MAPPING page.
• You can modify the mapping of the gamepad’s buttons by swapping their functions (2).
• ROLLBACK, RESET and SAVE buttons (3):
  • ROLLBACK: return to the previous settings, since the last save.
  • RESET: reset all of the settings and content to their default values.
  • SAVE: save the current settings in the selected profile or preset.

To remap the buttons

• Click on the button whose function you would like to change.
• From the list, select the new function that will be assigned to this button (1).

Configuring the mini-sticks

Adjust the sensitivity curve and the dead zones for the left and right mini- sticks, for optimal control of your movements.

• The drop-down menu in the upper left-hand corner (1) lets you switch between profiles and presets in the MINI-STICKS page.
• Adjust the sensitivity curve and the dead zones for the left and right mini-sticks independently of one another (2).
• ROLLBACK, RESET, DUPLICATE and SAVE buttons (3):
  • ROLLBACK: return to the previous settings, since the last save.
  • RESET: reset all of the settings and content to their default values.
  • DUPLICATE: duplicate the settings for the selected mini-stick on the second mini-stick.
  • SAVE: save the current settings in the selected profile or preset.

The sensitivity curve is divided into 3 different zones: small, medium and large movements (S, M, L). Increasing the size of one (or more) of the zones (S, M, L) will provide more sensitivity — and therefore more precision — for the zone(s) in question.
For example, if you increase the S zone, your movements near the center of the mini-stick will be more precise.

To modify the sensitivity curve for the mini-sticks, you can:

• Move the points directly on the graph (1).
• Modify the values in the 3 different zones (small, medium and large movements) (2).

You can also customize the center and outer dead zones for the mini-sticks (1).
A dead zone corresponds to the zones defined for the mini-stick which do not respond to movements, at the beginning (center) or at the end (outer) of its travel.
You can also define an end (outer) dead zone in the shape of a square by selecting the “SQUARE” option.

To enter Test mode and test out your settings, press the Y button on your gamepad and move your mini-stick. To exit Test mode, press the Y button on your gamepad again.

Configuring the triggers

Adjust the dead zones for the left and right triggers, in order to optimize your comfort and responsiveness in games.
A dead zone corresponds to the zones defined for the trigger which do not respond to movements, at the beginning (center) or at the end (outer) of its travel.

• The drop-down menu in the upper left-hand corner (1) lets you switch between profiles and presets in the TRIGGERS page.
• Adjust the dead zones for the left and right triggers independently of one another (2).
• ROLLBACK, RESET, DUPLICATE and SAVE buttons (3):
  • ROLLBACK: return to the previous settings, since the last save.
  • RESET: reset all of the settings and content to their default values.
  • DUPLICATE: duplicate the settings for the selected trigger on the second trigger.
  • SAVE: save the current settings in the selected profile or preset.

To set the active zone for the triggers:

• Move the sliders representing the beginning and end of the dead zone on the selected trigger (1).
• Press the trigger to directly test your settings: the green gauge indicates your position on the curve of the trigger (2).

Configuring the vibrations

Set the maximum intensity:

• of the vibrations for your gamepad’s right and left handles;
• of the vibrations for your gamepad’s right and left triggers.

• The drop-down menu in the upper left-hand corner (1) lets you switch between profiles and presets in the VIBRATIONS page.
