# 🎮 ProGCC 3 / 3S (Wired)

The **ProGCC 3** and **ProGCC 3S** are the wired ProGCC boards: a Pro Controller-style board with USB-C and ports for real consoles, no battery or wireless. They run HOJA firmware and are configured with [HHL Gamepad Config](https://hoja.handheldlegend.com). For the wireless boards, see [ProGCC 3+ / 3.1 / 3.2](https://docs.handheldlegend.com/doc/progcc-3-31-32-wireless-8IT8pSbgGR). The wired-only **ProGCC 3.2** is covered there too, since it uses the same ProGCC 3.2 firmware.

|     |     |
|-----|-----|
| **Wired** | USB-C, plus GameCube, N64 and SNES/NES with a [Retro-C cable](https://docs.handheldlegend.com/doc/retro-c-cables-qPUP8WwnAg) |
| **Wireless** | None |
| **Extras** | Gyro, rumble, RGB lighting |

The **3S** uses the newer RP2350 chip. Once a USB update from the app has installed the HOJA bootloader, update mode shows a drive named after the controller. Before that, or in the chip's own bootloader (BOOTSEL), the 3S shows up as a drive named **RP2350** (the ProGCC 3 shows **RPI-RP2**).

## Sync button

**Tap Sync** to turn **tournament mode** on or off. It disables the D-pad, Home, Plus, Minus and Capture, so they can't be pressed by accident in a match. The LEDs flash **green** when it turns on and **red** when it turns off.

## Modes

Hold a button while you plug the controller in. Full table: [Modes & Pairing](https://docs.handheldlegend.com/doc/modes-pairing-hoja-controllers-H61Dy3zPjm).

| Hold | Mode | For |
|------|------|-----|
| A    | Switch | Nintendo Switch, HHL Gamepad Config |
| B    | Steam | PC and Steam Deck, HHL Gamepad Config |
| X    | XInput | Windows PCs |
| Y    | Slippi | Slippi / Dolphin |
| D-pad Right | GameCube | A real GameCube or Wii, with a Retro-C cable |
| D-pad Down | N64  | A real N64, with a Retro-C cable |
| D-pad Left | SNES / NES | A real SNES or NES, with a Retro-C cable |

For play on a Switch, turn on **Pro Controller Wired Communication** in the Switch's settings (see [Modes & Pairing](https://docs.handheldlegend.com/doc/modes-pairing-hoja-controllers-H61Dy3zPjm)).

## Updating

Connect to [hoja.handheldlegend.com](https://hoja.handheldlegend.com) and press **Update now** when offered. Update mode by hand: hold **L + Plus** while plugging in. See [Update Firmware](https://docs.handheldlegend.com/doc/update-firmware-hoja-controllers-KoFvPA77o1).

When installing on a blank board, pick your exact board: **ProGCC 3** or **ProGCC 3S**.
