Q2: Why is the controller light constantly green?
A: Quick introduction to the controller light state: the green light flashes when connected to the computing unit; a bright green light indicates connected, and the blue light is lit when charging.
Normal operation is the green light flickering for about 1 minute, turning brighter. If it keeps flashing nonstop, look under the computer Windows system if "scrcpy" software has been enabled on the NrealLight-Con option under the setting-Connected devices-Bluetooth option. To re-pair, click the back gear and select FORGET to delete the current controller. Then Re-open the handle switch and reconnect.
When connected, if the marked by the mouse style on screen (as shown below), you have the latest version, otherwise please upgrade. Upgrade happens automatically after connecting to a wireless network.
