Cosmic Byte Gamepad Dongle for PC | Stratos, Black

Seamless Wireless Gaming: Losing or damaging your original wireless receiver usually means your gamepad is useless on a PC. This replacement dongle restores the 2.4GHz wireless functionality of your Cosmic Byte Stratos, Xenon, or Quantum controllers. The 2.4GHz connection provides a much more stable and lower-latency experience compared to standard Bluetooth, ensuring your button presses register instantly during fast-paced action and competitive gaming.

Plug-and-Play Simplicity: The dongle requires absolutely no third-party software or drivers to work on Windows PCs. Simply plug the dongle into an available USB port, press and hold the “Share + Home” buttons on your controller for three seconds, and the devices will automatically pair within moments. Once connected, your PC will instantly recognize the controller as a standard Windows gamepad.

Dual Mode Compatibility: PC gaming spans decades, and different eras of games require different controller inputs. This dongle fully supports both modern X-input (standard for Xbox-style PC gaming and most modern Steam titles) and legacy D-input (used for older PC games and emulators). You can effortlessly switch between the two modes on the fly by holding the “Share + Options” buttons on your controller for two seconds, ensuring complete compatibility with your entire game library.

On your controller, press and hold the “Share + Home” buttons for about 3 seconds. The white LED on the controller will blink a few times before turning solid. The blue LED on the dongle will then stop blinking, indicating a successful pairing.
3. How do I switch between X-input and D-input modes? Once the controller is connected to the PC via the dongle, simply press and hold the “Share + Options” buttons on your controller for 2 seconds. This will toggle the input mode, allowing you to easily play games that require older Direct-Input standards.
