Ipega PG-9017S

Drawing of the Ipega PG-9017S gamepad, showing all buttons and LEDs.

The manual claims it also works through USB Micro, but that’s either not true, or requires a newer firmware (but there is no documented way to upgrade the firmware).

Modes

Use these combinations any time, even while connected.

Combination Mode

Firmware update (Dangerous!)

There is also a firmware update mode: hold START + SELECT then connect the USB cable. However, there is no firmware available on the official website, and there is no way to get out of the firmware update mode. Not even resetting the gamepad. If you enter this mode, the device will be bricked.
