Standard Mode? Direct Mode?

Many iPega gamepads support what is known as a "Direct Play" mode. This is a special connection mode with keybinds that are already pre-configured for specific apps.

To modify these keybinds, you'll need to download the ShootingPlus V3 app, found on the Google Play Store, and iOS App Store.

 Conversely, "Standard Mode" is as the name implies. It connects the gamepad as a normal gamepad with nothing extra to it.
