No, the PHANTOM-S is pre-loaded with firmware that allows it to be connected directly to your game console without needing a PC. However, to configure the advanced settings with the PHANTOM-S software requires the PHANTOM-S to be connected to a PC or laptop.

YES, the PHANTOM-S supports USB joysticks and USB gamepads.

No, the PHANTOM-S only supports standard US 104-key Keyboard layouts. However, the PHANTOM-S software can map up to 8 controller commands to a single button on your keyboard, mouse or joystick.

The PHANTOM-S emulates the game controller of your console, so it will work with any game in your library.

At this point, the PHANTOM-S software ONLY supports Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and later versions.

Xbox – All audio features of your Xbox controller are supported by the PHANTOM-S, meaning that you can plug your favorite compatible headset directly to your controller and hear the action just the way you like it.

PS3 – Headsets are not supported. To use a headset for audio only, connect a headset via a USB audio adapter directly to the PS3.

PS4 – Headsets are not supported. To use a headset for audio only, connect a headset via a USB audio adapter directly to the PS4.

1. Connect the game controller, keyboard and mouse to their respective ports on the PHANTOM-S.
2. On the game controller, press START and SELECT at the same time to invoke “Direct Mapping” mode.
3. Press the direction pad “up and down” to adjust Hip Shoot sensitivity, press “right and left” to adjust ADS sensitivity.
4. Press “PS” button to start BUTTONS BINDING.

NOTE: You can also map the buttons using the PHANTOM-S software. For detailed instructions, please refer to page 24 of the User Manual.

The deadzone is a small area around the game controller’s Right Stick control that doesn't respond to stick movement. This causes a delay and sporadic movements when the mouse is used for the Right Stick control. Making the deadzone smaller delivers significantly sharper and smoother looking around movements in the game. With no deadzone there is no delay with the mouse and all movements are very straight and accurate. Therefore, adjustment of the deadzone is strongly recommended.
To decrease the Deadzone size, do the following:

1. From the game controller connected to the PHANTOM-S, press Select + Start (PS3), Share + Options (PS4), or Back + Start (Xbox).
2. Press the PS3/PS4 'Triangle' or Xbox 'X' button (right/left adjustment). Repeatedly press the PS3/PS4 'O' or Xbox 'B' button until you see a slightly right movement on the screen. (no dead zone), Press the 'Triangle' or 'X' button again to save.
3. Press the PS3/PS4 'Square' or Xbox 'Y' button (up/down adjustment). Repeatedly press PS3/PS4 'O' or Xbox 'B' button until you see a small up movement on screen. (no dead zone), Press the 'Square' or 'Y' button again to save.
4. Press: Select + Start (PS3), Share + Options (PS4), or Back + Start (Xbox) to exit. (refer to attached diagram)

NOTE: The Deadzone settings can be adjusted with the PHANTOM-S software. For detailed instructions, please refer to page 52 of the User Manual.
