The status of the Outputs is sent to the host through either a USB connection or the Bluetooth module. We call this the communication channel. It can be selected from a dropdown list that contains USB and Bluetooth choices for the input group. The QuadStick can have a USB connection to one device while having a simultaneous Bluetooth connection to another. When the profile mode sheet becomes active, the chosen channel receives the data stream. An example would be a USB connection to a game console and a Bluetooth connection to a PC for controlling the mouse.
The Mouse mode sheets would have the Channel set to Bluetooth while the Game controller sheets would be set to USB.
The Bluetooth module has multiple uses which will be described in detail later.
