Question About Hardware Compatibility
The Rainbow 3 has a different mould to the Rainbow 1 series and is not compatible with the latter’s rubber case
It can be switched off. Double clicking the fn key toggles the light effects, the first one is a mode light, the second one is a custom light effect, and the third one turns off the light.
No
Simulated motion control is achieved by simulating the movement of the right joystick, and an increase in the joystick’s return rate makes for silky-smooth motion control.
It’s not an xbox licensed controller.
1. Yes
2. To connect PC please watch this tutorial:
3. To connect Nintendo Switch please watch this tutorial:
Turn on the Trigger Stop Switch, then click it twice quickly, and the third time it will automatically turn on the Air Trigger function, at this time the value is only 0 or 1.
Press and hold the logo button for more than 10 seconds to reset, the controller will vibrate to indicate a successful reset.
Up to about 15 hours under normal use (varies depending on game vibration, lighting and headset use)
It can be pried off with a hard object from the notched edge of the D-Pad’s cap.
1. If voice function is required, the controller should be connected to the game console wirelessly first, and then the headset can be connected to the controller with a wired connection.
2. If the game console can support wireless headset, there is no need to connect audio through the above method.
3. The receiver does not support Bluetooth devices.
The faceplate is not replaceable
The joystick size is the same and the joystick caps are universal.
The Armor-X’s 1300 mAh battery is needed to power not only itself but also the controller. The Rainbow 3 is capable of about 15 hours of normal battery life.
Wired 500Hz, 2.4G receiver 200Hz, Bluetooth 125Hz (switch mode fixed 125Hz)
2.4G receiver, Bluetooth, USB wired
Customised high speed rotor motor
Support for PC, Switch, iOS and Android
The brand logo on the controller is the home button.
The Rainbow 3 will not be available in new colour options at this time.
Questions About Joysticks
The latest ALPS-branded 52-degree joystick, which is the same as the PS5’s, helps with in-game micro-manoeuvres.
The technology of current Hall joysticks is still immature, so Rainbow 3 chose the new version of ALPS joystick with the best mechanical performance, which is more guaranteed for competitive gamers’ gaming experience.
The controller is factory set with a little dead zone by default. The dead zone can be set after connecting to the controller via mobile app and can be further set to 0 dead zone.
1. First determine if the joystick cap is pulled up, or if the joystick physically does not return to centre. If so, pull the joystick cap off. If not, do joystick calibration (specific operation see the manual)
2. If it is connected to Steam, it may be triggered by a Steam bug (the current version of steam does have this bug), try to push the joystick to the outermost circle and rotate it for a fortnight to see if it can be fixed, if not, then rule out this factor.
Additional note: You can set the dead zone of the joystick of the Rainbow 3. When the joystick dead zone is set to 0, the joystick is bound to drift. Nothing to do with the product, all joysticks with 0 deadband will drift.
1. Long press the view button + menu button, the light effect of the light bar is orange breathing
2. Push the joystick to the limit and turn it in a circle at an even speed, repeat 3-5 times.
3. Press LT+RT again to the limit and release, repeat 3-5 times.
4. Finally, press View + Menu at the same time.
5. The light bar light effect is orange double flash, the calibration is successful.
1. Check to see if this is caused by the joystick cap pulling up;
2. If so, press the joystick cap down vertically.
Questions About Software Functionality
Yes, connecting the app allows for a variety of customisation of the lights, including switching them off.
Buttons that do not support mapping are: Multitasking button (positive button), Menu button (negative button), Home button, Mapping button/Turbo button/Macro button/Configuration button, Fn button, Screenshot button
Depends on the electromagnetic environment, ideally about 20 ms or less.
Macros can be selected from Click, Long Press, Click Cycle and Long Press Cycle. If you hang up, selecting click cycle will repeat the macro function all the time.
1. Double-click the FN button, the light bar will cycle between “Mode Light Effect”, “Custom Light Effect” and “Off”.
2. You can also customise the settings through APP.
1. Rainbow 3 comes with Bluetooth, you can search Xbox Wireless Controller in the Bluetooth list of your mobile phone after you turn it on;
2. Open BIGBIG WON APP in iOS mobile phone, select the device as C1 Pro in the upper left corner, and then click the “Connect Now” button in the middle of the screen directly.
3. On Android mobile phones, you need to open the “BIGBIG WON APP” permissions (Bluetooth, location, nearby devices, pop-up windows and other permissions), and then open the BIGBIG WON APP and click “Connect Now”.
After connecting to Rainbow 2 using Switch Bluetooth, with both Switch and joystick turned off, simply long press (logo button) the home button to wake up the Switch.
Wake up is not supported when the receiver is wire-connected to the Switch, this is determined by the Switch’s system.
Yes, ours goes straight to a maximum value like 0 or 1, XBOX’s goes 0-255 in a much shorter distance, XBOX’s controller is still linear just faster, ours goes straight to 0 or 1 because we don’t have intermediate values anymore, so that’s just faster.
Open the app and check to see if joystick XY axis reversal is turned on.
Support recording 15 steps, you can set the time interval and auto loop function in the app
The controller does not need to be connected via Bluetooth. After connecting the controller to any game console, open the BIGBIG WON app and click on “Rainbow 3” to connect.
Firstly, make sure the controller’s logo button’s indicator light is always on, green for xinput mode and red for switch mode.
If it does not light up, it means that the controller is not successfully connected, check whether the controller is firmly plugged into the interface with the data cable.
After the receiver is wire-connected to the Switch, you need to open “Settings – Controllers and Sensors – Pro Controller Wired Connection On”.
Linear triggers are not supported under the Switch protocol and all Switch controllers do not have linear triggers.
Questions About Somatosensory
Support motion control, support Switch origin motion control, and simulated motion control on cross-platform. The principle of simulation is to use the gyroscope to simulate the movement of the right stick, so that games that do not support motion control also support motion control.
Please watch this tutorial:
1. FN+L3/R3 is to enable global motion control.
2. If you add a key to this key combination, such as FN+LT+R3, then LT is the switch for right stick emulation.
3. then LT is the switch for right stick simulation, hold down LT to turn on right stick simulation, release LT to turn it off.
1. FN+L3 or FN+R3;
2. Press FN+L3 if you want to simulate the left stick, and press FN+R3 if you want to simulate the right stick.
The controller itself does not require any setup.
1. Firstly, set the dead zone of the right stick to 0 in the game.
2. If it’s still not silky smooth enough, open the APP, adjust the gyroscope curve to 0 under the motion control setting, and then slowly increase the dead zone compensation until the motion control is smooth.
Note: (Joystick settings have a higher inverse curve by default, and the curve value will also have the effect of dead zone compensation if it is large to a certain extent).
Place the controller horizontally on the desktop, press the menu key + screenshot key to turn on the calibration, the light bar goes off after double blinking means the calibration is complete.
1. in the motion control settings, adjust the curve value a little higher (the default curve value is relatively low, the higher the value, the lower the sensitivity at the beginning)
2. If you still feel shaky, you can lower the sensitivity of the gyroscope.
Question About Support
FPS is the most demanding of controllers. You can adjust the controller’s dead zone on the mobile app, and the controller has multiple preloaded configurations, with different settings corresponding to different game types.
The controller supports connecting to mobile phones and playing Apple games.
Yes, try not to use reWASD software, the reWASD software is very jagged after setup
Not supported because of the hall linear trigger.
No support, Rainbow 2 doesn’t have NFC.
Supports origin motion control on the Switch.
Internal feedback 17cm, 19.3cm, 4-finger grip, 6-finger grip and C-hand were all tried and were not painful.
The charging stand is not the same.
