Pairing

N64® Receiver

Before beginning, select either Rumble or Memory mode on the N64® receiver. It is at this time you are able to connect a Controller Pak (aka Memory Pak) to the receiver safely. This can only be done when the console is off. If the mode is changed while the console is running with the receiver connected, you may experience errors.
Connect the N64® receiver to the console.
Power on the console and the LED on the receiver should start to blink slowly.
Press and hold the pairing button on the receiver until it begins to blink rapidly.
Press Start on the controller to power it on. If it does not connect automatically, you may need to press Start again to force the connection.
Only Controller Paks (aka Memory Paks) are compatible with the N64® receiver. Any other accessories should not be attached.

USB® Receiver

Connect the USB® receiver to the console.
Power on the console and the LED on the receiver should start to blink slowly.
Press and hold the pairing button on the receiver until it begins to blink rapidly.
Press Start on the controller to power it on. If it does not connect automatically, you may need to press Start again to force the connection.
Some consoles will require the controller to be set to X-Input in order to function. See Macros for more information.

Troubleshooting

Factory Reset

Should you encounter issues with the controller, use a thin, hard item like an unbent paper clip and insert it into the hole on the back of the controller. The controller will begin to blink as if it turned on.

Power Issues

On a full charge, you will get 15-20 hours of gameplay with rumble, up to 30 hours without rumble. To charge the controller, connect the USB-C® cable into the controller and the USB® end into a powered available port. When plugged into a power source that is not a PC, the controller will fast charge and may fully recharge within 2 hours.
The N64® receiver is powered by the console. DO NOT connect a powered Micro USB® cable into the receiver as this may damage your console or receiver.
When connected to a power source, LED1 on the controller will blink and then remain solid once fully charged.
