Ximo XIM4 Quick Start Manual
Congratulations on your purchase of XIM4! Designed by gamers, XIM4 provides the best possible mouse and keyboard (and more) experience for the
Xbox One, PlayStation 4
,
Xbox 360
and
PlayStation 3
. Through proprietary technology called
Smart Translators
, XIM4 is able to provide a level of mouse precision unachievable by any other gaming
adapter available. Featuring full wireless configuration through s
mart phones, tablets, and PCs
, it is simple to configure and easy to use. It’s the perfect companion to even the
most demanding gamer. Welcome to the XIM community!
XIM4.com is your destination for everything XIM. It has Instructional Videos, Gameplay Videos, Manuals, Downloads, and Support.
We encourage you to check out our very large and active Community Forum.
Your XIM4 supports many types of hardware for gaming and
configuration. This includes mice, keyboards, joysticks,
controllers, headsets, smart phones, and PCs.
Please check your hardware’s compatibility at:
http://xim4.com/hardware.
Today’s gaming mice are advanced and complex devices.
Proper mouse settings will make a significant difference in
how your XIM4 performs. If your mouse has on-board
memory, use your mouse manufacturer’s configuration tool
to set it up. Set your mouse
USB Polling Rate
to either 500
or 1000 and its
DPI
to maximum.
Start with your XIM4 without any connections.
Your console’s
controller
must be connected wired to your
XIM4. The wireless controller that comes with your console
will become a wired controller by simply connecting a
standard USB cable (with exception of
Xbox 360
which
requires an official wired
Xbox 360
controller, see the
Hardware Compatibility List
for more information).
Make sure your controller is fully charged and off.
Connect your wired
console controller to
port 3
Connect your
keyboard/joystick to
port 2
Connect your mouse to
port 1
With your console already on and displaying on your TV,
connect your XIM4 to your console using the supplied USB
cable.
Your XIM4 will power-up. You will see your XIM4 display a
rainbow light sequence and then initialize your gaming
peripherals. When your XIM4 is ready, it’ll display a red
“breathing” light sequence.
For
PlayStation
consoles, you must now press the PS button
on the controller to activate it.
At this point, you can now use your controller. However, your
mouse and keyboard will not work. You need to create a
Config first using
XIM4 Manager
(described later).
XIM4 can be configured wirelessly on a smart phone, tablet,
or a PC that has Bluetooth capability (please check the
Hardware Compatibility List
for supported hardware and
details). For those that don’t have (or don’t want to use)
wireless configuration capability, XIM4 has a “offline wired”
configuration mode (please see the
XIM4 User Manual
at
http://xim4.com/manuals for details).
During the pairing process, you will see your XIM4’s light
flashing blue and other colors to signify the pairing process is
happening.
Go to your phone, tablet, or PC’s Bluetooth settings and
search for Bluetooth devices
Tell your XIM4 to enter discovery mode by pressing the
P button on the back of your XIM4
“XIM4” will show up on your phone, tablet, or PC’s
Bluetooth list – select it and complete pairing.
(On some versions of Windows, you will be notified that a
driver was not found for XIM4. This is normal and can be
ignored.)
XIM4 Manager
is the application you use to create and
manage Configs on your XIM4. A
Config
consists of all your
mouse settings and button mappings for a specific game you
are playing.
For phones/tablets, download
XIM4 Manager
from your
phone/tablet’s app store.
For PC, download
XIM4 Manager
from
http://xim4.com/downloads.
When you launch
XIM4 Manager
for the first time, you
will be directed to download
latest games support for
your XIM4. As new games
come out, you’ll be asked to
do this again in the future.
Now, choose a game and
console. Be sure to choose
the correct console and
game since every game’s
aiming behavior is different
(even for the same game on
different consoles).

CONTROLLER
A
Config
will be created for the game you chose and
then transferred to your XIM4. You can store up to 16
Configs on your XIM4.
The
HUD
(heads-up-display)
will now be displayed. This
shows you what you have
plugged into your XIM4, the
current loaded Config, and
what button you are
pressing (and how it is being
mapped in-game).
Your XIM4’s advanced mouse translation technology (
Smart
Translators
) assumes that your game is set at it’s
maximum
look sensitivity
. Some games call this Maximum, 100%, or
Insane. In all cases it must be turned up all the way for your
aiming performance to be optimal.
While in the HUD, select Edit to modify your Config.
The Edit page will load.
Here you can:
Change your Config’s Name
Assign your Config a Color
that your XIM4’s light will
display
Assign a Hotkey that will
cause the Config to load
(when XIM4 Manager isn’t
running)
Adjust your Mouse
Sensitivity
Set up Button Bindings
(mappings)
Adjust the mouse Sensitivity (under the Mouse section) to
your preferred value.
A Config can have multiple
mouse, keyboard, and button
Settings that can be switched by
pressing a button you choose.
You can have up to 6 different
Settings per Config (scroll right
and left to view them).
The most common use of
Settings is for changing behavior
when switching between Hip
aiming and ADS (aim-downsight). Games typically have
different aiming characteristics
when you aim-down-sight so
XIM4 uses a different Smart
Translator specialized for this mode.
All Settings (except Hip) have an Activation section. For ADS,
set the Activation Key to what you use to aim-down-sight (to
do this, select the value and then press the mouse or
keyboard key you use). When you aim-down-sight in-game, the
ADS Settings on your XIM4 will activate.
Set your preferred mouse Sensitivity while in ADS mode.
When you release your ADS key, your XIM4 will revert back
to Hip Settings (and your Hip mouse Sensitivity).
Map your mouse, keyboard, and joystick buttons to controller
buttons through Button Bindings.
To bind a button:
Select the button mapping
you want to change
When it changes to
“Listening...”, press the
mouse, keyboard, or
joystick button you want
to use
To Remove a binding,
select the button
mapping again while
“Listening...” is displayed
When selecting a button
mapping for aim-down-sight
(ADS), make sure the binding you choose matches the
Activation key you chose for your ADS Settings.
XIM4 also has a method for binding buttons without using
XIM4 Man
ager (please see the
XIM4 User Manual
at
http://xim4.com/manuals for details).
XIM4 provides runtime cues (using it’s light and also through
XIM4 Manager) to help guide you to your optimal settings.
All console shooters have different aiming turn speed limits.
Smart Translators
are designed to provide the gamer with a
1:1 connection between the mouse and aiming reticle onscreen up to that speed limit. To help tune your settings,
XIM4 provides an “exceeded maximum turn speed”
notification in the form of a quickly blinking red light. If you see
that light, it means you are moving your mouse faster than
the game can turn and you may feel it.
Every Config can have multiple Settings (i.e.
Hip, ADS, Tank
,
Turret
, etc.). To ensure your Settings are activating as you
expect, XIM4 provides two forms of feedback. First, the name
of the Settings is always displayed on the
HUD
. Second,
Settings have colors associated with them (shown as the
background color during edit). Your XIM4 will flash this color
when activated.
If you no longer want to see XIM4’s light cues, you can turn
them off by editing your Config, selecting the “...” button, and
disabling the notifications you want.
