Ready to take control? Setting up zController is quick and easy. Follow this simple guide to get connected in minutes.
Prerequisites:

- Keyboard: Type remotely.
- Controllers: Select Xbox, Wii, or other layouts for gaming.
- Screen Share: View your desktop.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- Can't Connect? Double-check that both devices are on the exact same Wi-Fi network (e.g., ensure one isn't on a guest network).
- Firewall: Ensure Windows Firewall isn't blocking `zController_Desktop`.
- Lag? A 5GHz Wi-Fi connection is recommended for best performance, especially for Screen Sharing.
