[Phone] How to turn on the ROG Kunai Gamepad's cursor mode ?

When Cursor Mode is turned on, a cursor will appear on the screen. This allows you to use the cursor to access the controls or the virtual buttons on the screen when the touch screen is not active (e.g. when Key Mapping is turned on).

Please follow the steps below:

1. You must first connect your phone to the ROG Kunai Gamepad and launch a game, then you can turn on this function.

 Refer:[Phone] How do I assemble the ROG Kunai Gamepad (ROG Kunai holder + ROG Kunai controllers)?

      [Phone] How do I set up the connection for the ROG Kunai Gamepad?


2. When the connection is successful, click the FUNCTION button on the holder.

3. Cursor will appear on the screen.


4. Use the right joystick to control the cursor. Use the L1 button on the left controller to touch virtual buttons on the screen. You can move the cursor around the screen with the right joystick; then press L1 button on the left controller to touch the virtual button (e.g. as shown below).

 

 

 

[Phone] Why can't I use ROG Kunai Gamepad when my game says that it supports Gamepad mode?

Games that support the gamepad mode do not need to use Key Mapping to play. Please turn off Key Mapping (as shown below).

 

When the gamepad is connected, a toast will appear to notify you

.

 

Note : If the ROG Kunai controllers are mounted on the ROG Kunai holder, you can use the PROFILES button on the ROG Kunai holder to open the editing page, then press the FUNCTION button to call the mouse cursor, move the cursor to the on/off toggle on the editing bar, and press the L1 button on the ROG Kunai holder to turn off Key Mapping in order to use the preset settings.
