Connection Troubleshooting Tips
If the X5 Lite doesn't connect to your device, try these steps:
- Check the physical connection: The Type-C plug must be fully inserted so it's no longer visible. If your phone case is too thick, remove it or use the thinner silicone pad included in the box. The controller logo will flash when connected successfully.
- Enable OTG: On Xiaomi, OPPO, VIVO, Realme, and iQOO devices, ensure the OTG function is enabled in your phone settings.
- Enable USB Debugging: Make sure USB debugging is turned on in your Android Developer Options if required by your device.
Package Note: The packaging displays "Android" only due to space constraints — this controller fully supports iOS (iPhone 16/15 series), iPad Mini, Android, and Y700 tablet.
