User Guide - GC Pocket Adapter
The GC Pocket Adapter By HandHeldLegend is an adapter that will convert both original GameCube and ProGCC controllers to work on Nintendo Switch, Android, Mac, and PC!
Plugging the adapter in to a USB port will power on the adapter. You will see the LED light illuminate as one of four different colors to indicate which mode the adapter is in.
GC Pocket Adapter Controller Modes:

DirectInput/Config = Blue (Windows) Nintendo Switch = Yellow (Nintendo Switch) GameCube = Purple (GameCube) XInput = Green (Windows)
The LED will then either fade to red if there is no GameCube controller unplugged, or it will fade to white if it detects a controller plugged in.
Performance mode is disabled by default in GameCube and Nintendo Switch modes. You can enable performance mode by pressing both buttons simultaneously when the controller is unplugged.
The LED will flash green twice to indicate performance mode has been enabled. It will flash pink twice to indicate when performance mode has been disabled.
Performance mode only works on PC. Nintendo Switch will not accept 1000hz input. If you attempt to plug two adapters in to Nintendo Switch that are operating in performance mode, you will experience disconnecting issues.
To change adapter mode, unplug the controller. Press either the left or right button to cycle through the different adapter modes. On each press, you will see the LED light indicate which mode is loaded. The mode is saved and will be remembered if you unplug the adapter from a USB connection.
Hold the 'Previous Mode' or 'Left' button while plugging in the adapter to enable config mode.
