Switch Firmware Anytime

Your PadBox GS [NS] ships with GP2040-CE, but you can change its firmware in about a minute, straight from your browser. Nothing to download, and you can switch back whenever you want.

• GP2040-CE (installed): PC, Switch / Switch 2, PS3, Android and Raspberry Pi, with USB passthrough.
• HOJA2: the open-source firmware used on our Platform Edition, if you prefer its settings.

How to switch:

1. Hold START while plugging your PadBox into a computer.
2. Open the PadBox Configurator in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge and click CONNECT.
3. Click Update firmware (top right), choose the firmware you want and click install. If your browser asks, pick RP2 Boot.

Switching resets your button and LED settings, so set them up again afterwards. Full details in the step-by-step guide, or see all firmware downloads.

*Notes:

• If you prefer the non-split D-Pad to be preinstalled instead of the split version, please include a note with your order or email us.

• This controller is not wireless.

• Colors may vary slightly from what you see on screen due to lighting and display settings.
