Gaming on PC (Mouse and Keyboard Output)

Your XIM MATRIX supports gaming on PC (or console) and outputting (presenting) to it as a mouse and keyboard.

Important

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

Connect Devices

First connect your devices to your XIM MATRIX.

Input Devices

Connect your wired supported input devices to USB Port 1 (●), Port 2 (●●), or Port 3 (●●●), such as:

Wired Mouse and Keyboard

Wireless Mouse and Keyboard

Warning

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

Wired Controller

Wireless Controller

Info

Wireless controllers, can be paired after your XIM MATRIX is connected to your PC.

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 (Mouse and Keyboard Output)

To connect to your PC, you must have a Config that has your XIM MATRIX output as a mouse and keyboard.

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

Shared Configs

You can add a shared Config such as from the XIM Config Cloud library by copying the Config to your clipboard and then selecting it.

Tip

Make sure the review and follow any notes from the creator of the Config you are using.

Custom Configs

To build a custom Config, press Custom.

Note

For mouse and keyboard output configs, choosing the game that matches the one you are playing isn't required (unlike controller output configs).

Tip

Matching the game you are playing is recommended if you ever want to switch your Config to output as controller in the future. If the game you are playing isn't on the list, you can choose the Generic game option.

Select the game you are playing and the platform:

Next, choose your inputs and outputs. For a mouse and keyboard PC Config, the output must be Mouse and Keyboard.

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

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.

Troubleshooting

If your XIM MATRIX isn't connecting to your PC, please follow our PC Troubleshooting steps.

Calibrate Reticle Velocity

When a new PC Mouse and Keyboard Config is added to your XIM MATRIX, you will need to calibrate the game's reticle velocity. This is a one time required step so that your XIM MATRIX can produce accurate aim velocity.

Please follow these steps for calibrating your velocity.
