The Technology of XIM
There are many “mouse and keyboard” console adapters on the market today, so, what makes XIM3 so different? The answer is simple: precision. Making a high precision device (like a mouse) work well in a game that was designed for controller thumbsticks is a very hard problem. All console shooters have different levels of “aim-assist” that makes them playable using a controller. If done incorrectly, adapting a mouse to these games will result in aiming that feels jerky, unresponsive, and detached. XIM3 is the only device that takes this mouse “translation” to the next level using its unique “Smart Translator” technology.
Through Smart Translators, XIM3 is able to provide unparalleled mouse precision unachievable by any other gaming adapter available. The problem is simple: when the mouse moves, equivalent reticle movement on the screen should occur (i.e. 1-to-1 movement). This is the obvious result that all PC-gamers expect. But, before the creation of Smart Translators, was not possible on consoles. Every console shooter has its own unique look mechanic that governs how the game controls and feels to the gamer. Every game is different as they all have different stick dead-zones and geometries, variable sensitivity and acceleration regions, asymmetric sensitivity, non-linear movement, and more. Be cautious of any console mouse adapter that claims “PC-feel” without talking about how it solves all these challenges. XIM3’s Smart Translators is the only comprehensive solution for the entire look mechanic problem. Click here to see the expanding list of games with Smart Translator support.
XIM3’s simplicity and flexibility is also second-to-none. Its philosophy is to empower the gamer without bombarding them with unneeded complexity. Through XIM3’s on-screen user-interface, its quick and easy to set up your optimal gaming environment without requiring a PC or memorizing buttons to press. Even more, XIM3 will actually give you real-time feedback through the screen to help you find your optimal settings. For the most hard core gamer, XIM3 offers additional advanced options for further intricate refinement.
XIM3 enables a gamer to choose input devices that suits them best. Its hardware compatibility doesn’t stop at just mice and keyboards. Support is also included for unique devices such as the Logitech G13 (small gaming keyboards with a built-in thumbstick for analog player movement). Mix and match different devices for your optimal playing style.
