Mouse Settings
If you are using a mouse with software such as Setpoint (Logitech), you will
need to adjust the DPI (Dots-per-inch) and Report Rate settings for better
gameplay. This can only be done with the software utility that came with the
mouse.
DPI
If your mouse came with software - use the utility to set the mouse DPI to the
highest possible setting. This will allow you to have a greater range of mouse
sensitivity when adjusting the controls with the KeyMander software.
If there is an adjustable DPI button on your mouse, be sure to set the maximum
DPI setting (using the DPI button) every time it’s plugged into the KeyMander.
Report Rate
The report rate sets how often the computer requests the current position and
button values of the mouse. Use the software utility that came with your mouse
to set the report rate to its highest setting. The report rate is typically 125~1000.
You can start with the highest setting and adjust accordingly to what feels best
when using your mouse on the PS3/Xbox game console with the KeyMander.
Note: Check each game’s “Look Sensitivity” settings to ensure it is set to the
maximum level to get the greatest range of adjustment with the
KeyMander.
