FAQS

What is TMR, and why does it matter?

TMR (Tunneling Magnetoresistance) is the next evolution of joystick sensing—surpassing even Hall Effect technology.

Instead of relying on voltage changes, TMR detects movement through magnetic resistance, resulting in a controller that feels more precise, more responsive, and more reliable over time.

What this means for players:
• Ultra-fine control – Higher sensitivity and resolution make micro-aiming and subtle movements feel effortless.
• Better battery efficiency – TMR consumes far less power, keeping your controller alive longer between charges.
• Built for longevity – With no physical contact or wear, TMR minimizes long-term degradation and drift.

In short: TMR isn’t just a spec upgrade—it’s a noticeable upgrade in how control feels.

How does TMR compare to Hall Effect joysticks?

While both technologies are designed to be drift-resistant, TMR is the enthusiast-level evolution.

Hall Effect sensors can introduce signal noise and draw more power over time. TMR, on the other hand, produces a cleaner signal with a higher signal-to-noise ratio—translating into a snappier, more responsive feel that competitive and professional players tend to prefer.

 

Does the PB TAILS CRUSH support a 1000Hz polling rate?

• In wired mode: switch the controller to X mode, then connect the controller to the console/PC with a cable. In this case, the polling rate will be 1000Hz.
• In 2.4G dongle (receiver) mode: switch the controller to S mode, then connect it to the console/PC via the 2.4G receiver.
When the controller is recognized by the system as an Xbox controller, it means the polling rate is 1000Hz.
If it is recognized as a Pro Controller or a generic Gamepad, the polling rate is only 125Hz.
In that case, please follow the instructions in the user manual: while in 2.4G mode, press and hold the “+” button and “–” button on the controller at the same time for 3 seconds to switch the controller mode. Keep switching until the system recognizes it as an Xbox controller.
Once it is recognized as an Xbox controller, you can be sure that you are using a 1000Hz polling rate.

What are the benefits of the Zinc Alloy metal body?

Unlike standard ABS plastic controllers, the PB TAILS CRUSH features a cold-forged zinc alloy chassis.
• Durability
Significantly stronger and more impact-resistant than plastic housings, designed for long-term use.
• Tactile Experience
The metal construction delivers a premium, cold-to-the-touch feel, with a carefully balanced weight that enhances hand stability during intense gameplay.
• Aesthetic Possibilities
A full metal chassis enables finishes such as DEFENDER and Ghost Silver—visual effects that simply cannot be achieved with plastic.

 

What are the benefits of the Zinc Alloy metal body?Are the MagCase covers interchangeable?

Yes. Every CRUSH controller features a magnetic faceplate (MagCase) system.
You can swap the MagCase in seconds—no tools, no disassembly required.

This allows you to instantly change the look of your controller and fully customize your setup’s aesthetic with ease.

 

What size is the controller?

The controller is 4.72in x 3.15in x 0.91in (11.99cm x 8cm x 2.31cm). 


Which devices are the CHOC controllers compatible with?

All of our controllers are compatible with Nintendo Switch (V1, V2, Switch OLED, and Lite), PC, Windows, Steam, Steam Deck, Android, iOS and more.

NOTE: For Android, iOS, phone and tablet devices, some games don't allow 3rd party controllers to work with their games so you must check first if the games are compatible with 3rd party controllers. 

How do I pair the controller with my Android device?

Here is a short video on our product page showing you how to connect the controller to Android. 

Step 1.

Press the pairing button and Y button together.
The indicator lights 2 and 3 (two middle lights) found on the bottom of the controller will start to blink. This means Bluetooth has been activated.

Step 2. Go to Phone: Settings > Bluetooth devices and find "Gamepad". Click this option to connect your controller to your gaming device. 


Step 3. When the indicators stop blinking, your controller is connected and ready to go.

How do I pair the controller with my iOS device?

Here is a short video on our product page showing you how to connect the controller to iOs.

Step 1. Press the pairing button and X button together. The indicator lights 1 and 4 on the bottom of the controller will start blinking. This means Bluetooth has been activated.

Step 2. Go to Settings > Bluetooth devices and find "Xbox Wireless Controller". Choose this option to connect the controller to your device.

Step 3. When the indicators stop blinking, your controller is connected and ready to go. 

How can we check how much battery power is remaining in the controller?

It cannot be viewed directly. It can only be viewed in the NS when connected to the NS; it cannot be viewed on the computer.
