Gaming on PC (Controller Output)

Your XIM MATRIX supports gaming on PC and outputting (presenting) to it as a standard XInput controller.

Important

Use controller output when you want your game to use controller aim. If you want your game's aiming method to be native mouse, use mouse and keyboard instead.

Input Devices

Connect your wired supported input devices to USB Port 1 and Port 2.

If you have a supported wireless device, you can pair it after your XIM MATRIX is connected to your PC.

Warning

If you are gaming with a wireless mouse, you may need additional setup to ensure performance of both your mouse and XIM MATRIX.

Connect To Your PC

Make sure your PC is powered on and then using the included USB A to C cable (or one you supplied yourself), connect your XIM MATRIX to your PC.

Your XIM MATRIX will turn on and display its startup rainbow sequence.

If you don't yet have a PC Config on your XIM MATRIX, you'll need to create one now.

Creating a PC Config (Controller Output)

To connect to your PC, you must have a Config that has your XIM MATRIX output as an XInput controller.

Load XIM MATRIX Manager and create a new Config by pressing the vertical "..." on the top right and selecting New Config:

Select the game you are playing and the platform:

Next, choose your inputs and outputs. For an XInput PC Config, you have two choices: Controller (PC), or Mouse, Keyboard, Controller.

Controller (PC)

When you choose this method, your XIM MATRIX will present as only an XInput controller.

Mouse, Keyboard, Controller

When you choose this method, your XIM MATRIX will present as an XInput controller, mouse, and keyboard. Bindings are still set up for controller aiming.

Tip

Select this method so you can still use your connected mouse and keyboard on your desktop. Toggle Navigate Mode to pass them through.

Press "New" to create your Config. It may take up to 30 seconds for your Config to be created.

Required Game Settings

When a new PC XInput Config is added to your XIM MATRIX, you are reminded that you must set your game's in-game sensitivity to maximum and also any additional game-specific setting requirements. The rest of the settings should be remain at default.

Warning

Failure to configure your game's required settings correctly will result in negative aiming performance and the inability to effectively share and use Configs from others.

If you need to check required in-game settings at a later time, press the gear icon on Manager's main screen.

Completed Connection

As your XIM MATRIX works to connect to your PC, it will quickly blink white twice repeatably.

When your XIM MATRIX successfully connects to your PC, you will see a green connection dot in Manager.

And, your XIM MATRIX will quickly flash green upon successful connection as well.
