As of Firmware v3, you can use your **wired** STRIKEPACK™ Dominator-enabled DualShock®4 controller with your **Switch™** or **Switch 2™** console!

* Fully supported; both in **Tournament Mode** & <mark style="color:blue;">**New Experience M.O.D. Mode**</mark>.
  * **Map** the **Paddles** in **Mapping Mode**.
  * Use **any** included **M.O.D.s** (**M**acros **O**n **D**emand), including features like **Macro Editor**.
* Analog stick inputs have been optimized for smooth controls.
* Works in Switch™ 1 or 2 games that support the Switch™ Pro controller.
* 3.5mm headset audio through your DualShock®4 controller.
* Motion control support through your DualShock®4 controller.
* There are limitations of course, like an DualShock®4 controller doesn't have HD Rumble.

To use the STRIKEPACK™ Dominator in **Switch™ 1 & 2 Mode**, you must first go to your Switch™ 1 or 2 console's **System Settings**, then make sure **Controller and Sensors > Pro Controller Wired Communication** is set to **On**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %} <img src="/files/WKxGM5nEvfMbZOqHLzmA" alt="" data-size="line"><mark style="color:$danger;">**Hold**</mark> the **2 Paddles&#x20;**<mark style="color:$danger;">**together**</mark> on the STRIKEPACK™ Dominator while connecting the cable to your Switch™ 1 or 2 console or dock.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
You should now be able to control your Switch™ 1 or 2 console with your STRIKEPACK™-enabled DualShock®4 controller.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Alternatively, if the STRIKEPACK™ is plugged in already, you can restart it for Switch™ 1 & 2 use without re-plugging. See below:

1. While <img src="/files/WKxGM5nEvfMbZOqHLzmA" alt="" data-size="line"><mark style="color:$danger;">**holding**</mark> the **2 Paddles&#x20;**<mark style="color:$danger;">**together**</mark>, <img src="/files/WKxGM5nEvfMbZOqHLzmA" alt="" data-size="line"><mark style="color:$danger;">**hold**</mark> the **Restart** button (right-hand unlabeled button) for <mark style="color:$danger;">**500ms+**</mark>.
2. As soon as the Gearhead Eyes flicker off & on, release the Restart button & Paddles. The STRIKEPACK™ Dominator will have restarted into **Tournament Mode**.
3. You should now be able to control your Switch™ 1 or 2 console with your STRIKEPACK™-enabled DualShock®4 controller.
4. If desired, <img src="/files/FTIPMMo2lFVsDuBcyTX7" alt="" data-size="line">**press & release** the **2 unlabeled buttons simultaneously** to switch to <mark style="color:blue;">**M.O.D. Mode**</mark>.
5. If you experience any noticeable drift, you can use your console's **Controller and Sensors > Calibrate Control Sticks** feature. Happy gaming!
