Bluetooth

All PCs installed with the latest Windows and macOS versions have Bluetooth functionality. Consequently, we used it to pair the Matricom controller on our computer.

Windows

We used the following process, which also worked for User GibbyJibby on Reddit:

1. Visit the “Settings” page through the “Start” menu.
2. Access “Devices.”
   
3. Stay in the “Bluetooth And Other Devices” area.
4. Turn on Bluetooth via the toggle bar.
5. Click on “Add Bluetooth Or Other Device.”
   
6. Select “Bluetooth” from this window.
7. Simultaneously hold the “Mode+X” buttons on the controller until the lights flash quickly.
8. Click on the Matricom controller once it is detected on your PC.
9. The controller will vibrate to indicate a successful pairing with the PC.

MacOS

Take note of the steps below to connect the controller to macOS, as shared in a YouTube video by Tech & Design:

1. Click on the “Apple Icon” at the left corner of the top panel.
2. Select “System Preferences.”
   
3. Pick “Bluetooth.”
   
4. Make sure the Bluetooth is turned on.
5. Grab the Matricom controller and press the “Mode+B” buttons to set it to iOS mode.
6. Pair the controller once detected on your screen.

USB Cable

In case the Bluetooth fails, resort to the traditional way and use a compatible USB cable to connect the Matricom controller to a PC.

Here are the complete steps you can follow:

1. Purchase a compatible USB cable.
2. Insert one end in any USB port on your PC.
   
3. The other should be connected to the micro-USB port on the controller.
4. Once connected, the PC should automatically detect necessary drivers and prompt you to install them. 
5. Install the required drivers, and you should be able to use the Matricom controller on your computer.

What To Do If You Cannot Connect The Matricom Controller To PC?

If the Matricom controller does not show up under the available Bluetooth devices on your PC, switch the controller into Keyboard And Mouse mode. Enable the mode by holding together the Mode+A buttons on your controller to allow the PC to detect it. Doing so resolved the trouble on our end.
