The Built-in Hall Effect Mini Joysticks Almost
Completely Eliminate The Chance Of Dead
Zones Occurring At The Center Point

The built-in Hall Effect mini joysticks adopt a sunken design with down-press support for L3 and R3, and are infinitely adjustable and super-linear. After calibration, the Hall Effect joysticks have improved return accuracy and voltage division precision by 37.5% and 25% respectively compared to standard joysticks, almost completely eliminating the chance of dead zones occurring at the center point. They can accurately perceive the player’s finger movements, improving game control precision and sensitivity.


The L2/R2 Triggers Are Linear Analog Trigger Buttons
Allowing For Smooth Acceleration In Racing Games
And Quick Shooting In First-person Shooters

Compared to the WIN 2, the L2/R2 triggers of the WIN Mini have been changed to linear analog trigger buttons, accurately simulating the button response under different intensities and allowing for precise shooting, acceleration, and other operations. This provides a more realistic experience of the dynamic changes in games, comfortable use of the controller, and increased immersion and playability in games.


Adding Programmable Macro Keys L4
And R4, Allowing a One-Button
Keys Combination
