Hotkeys

Dave edited this page Aug 11, 2026 · 7 revisions

On the R36S hotkeys use a modifier button combined with another key to control in-game menus, saves, system volume and more.

System hotkeys are global and always active. The system hotkeys are also universal, they are the same for every console or variant including the R36H. Any time the Fn button is used as the hotkey an alternate is also provided. This keeps usage consistent across all devices.
