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.

Aim/Look
Aim/Look is the adjustment of on-screen movements
during normal game play, when the view is not zoomedin.
ADS (Aim-Down-Sight)
ADS (Aim-Down-Sight) is the adjustment of on-screen
movements during game play when the view-mode is
zoomed-in; such as when you are looking through a
scope.
Curve
The Curves are used to fine tune how on-screen
movements will respond to actual physical mouse
movements. The default is a 1:1 ratio. Adjustments can
limit movements, stretch movements, and increase or
decrease relative movements.
Sensitivity
Sensitivity adjusts how loose or tight mouse movements
are during play.
Copy Curve to Clipboard
After customizing the Curve you can copy your
adjustments and save them to a text document.

any point of the curve to make adjustments.
35
Chapter 4: KeyMander Software
Curve
The Curve shows the relationship between Mouse Velocity (physical mouse
speed) and Aim Velocity (on-screen speed). When the physical mouse and on-
screen speed are the same, the curve looks like this:
Mouse Velocity increases from left to right and Aim Velocity bottom to top.
A perfect diagonal line means the mouse and on-screen speeds match. As you
adjust the curve up and down, the relationship between physical mouse speed
and on-screen speed changes. Two sections represent different movements:
A: Close Aiming Movement B: Turning - Long Movement
Pulling the Curve up makes the on-screen movements faster, pulling the Curve
down restricts the speed of A or B - as the physical mouse is moved.
36

Adjusting the Curve
Adjusting the curve allows you to fine tune turn acceleration or deceleration,
tune high/low speeds with limits, and boost velocity. Use the graph points to
adjust the curve to suit your needs. Use the examples below to understand how
changes to Aiming (A) and Turning (B) movements affect game play:
