Alright so i just ordered one of these things. I have the XFPS Sniper Pro right now and was honestly impressed with that. There were some draw backs though. The chopyness and not being able to turn easly. Also, i had to get the wirless mic cause i couldnt use my wired. After seeing the vids and everyones reaction to the xim360 im pretty excited to get this going.

I just sold my XFPS Sniper Plus on eBay yesterday...after a week of using the XIM2 there is no way in hell I would go back to that. I mean it worked good but you just don't know how bad it is compared to the XIM2 until you use it and your kill ratio goes up rapidly. This is probably the best device you could possibly get for your Xbox360.  You're gonna love it

Decent game for a XIM user  Grin

btw I have a quick question.

Are your mouse+ kb all plugged in your computer when you play?

Suggestions (these are all software based):
1. Ability to bind multiple keys to the same controller button.
2. Ability to toggle an entire profile rather than just a secondary sensitivity. This would be nice for toggling a larger dead zone when you are zoomed or ironsighted in. In the case of cod4, when zoomed in the controller stick must be pushed further in a direction to be able to look around in that direction. When not zoomed, the stick only needs to be partially pushed in a direction to look in that direction. A larger dead zone would cause the stick to be pushed out more when looking.
3. Ability to add a pause when toggling. In cod the game would take about a full second to go from normal view to zoomed view. Only when it completed this transition did the in-game sensitivity change. It would be nice to be able to add a pause time to synchronize the sensitivity changes on both the in-game and XIM360 sensitivity settings. A lot of the time I found myself zooming in while moving for a quick shot only to find that my sensitivity changed a lot faster than the game's did which resulted in my reticule overshooting and being completely off target by the time the zoom animation completed.

1.  This can be done if you edit your config in notepad.  Just add a comma and the key assignment.  i.e. "A=KeyW,KeyQ"

2.  Totally agree with you, several of us have lobbied OBsIV with this idea.  I imagine he'll implement a feature like this once he finishes his current project.
3.  You want to change in-game sensitivity on the fly as well?  I think just having a hot-swappable config would solve your issues, there's no need to mess with in-game settings too.

I cannot seem to get this to work :S here's a screen, can you please tell me where am going wrong?

Xim button guide was so much easier..



As you can see the A,X,Y buttons where i have tried to map extra keys, well it doesn't work...

Don't know if you've solved this, but your 'LeftShift' need to be 'KeyLeftShift', keep in mind that is also binded to right stick.

I did not think this deserved a new thread.

The Halo 3 videos I have seen of the XIM2 looked promising. The motions made by those players I was easily able to relate with the motions I make on PC shooters. I understand the XIM2 is not perfect and is not optimal with Halo 3 compared to titles like CoD.

However, lack of performance isn't my fault either and I can't accept an adapter that cannot meet my expectations. Everything seemed fine until I observed a snipers match. Fine aiming was impaired because the reticle had the jitters. When the player zoomed the problem magnified and head shots looked more difficult to pull off than with the perfectly calm reticle when using the dreaded controller.

I predict this is a configuration problem. How rectifiable is this? May I sacrifice higher turn speeds for a steadier reticle? Having a steady reticle is crucial for me. In games where the character breathes, that is a predictable movement and I can compensate. Random jitters are not predictable and my coordination would be worse than with the controller.

My overall impression thus far is that the XIM2 is great if you casually game and don't want to learn the controller. Any of the posted videos appear nothing more than a maybe-above-average player fighting novice players. My interest is in gaining an edge for competitive games, not noob slaughtering, so how well does XIM2 stand up to that? I'd really enjoy watching a proven high-ranking match and observing the benefits then. Surely they are out there and I could use some guidance to them.

The other question is: how will the answer to the previous question change with the XIM3?

I think this deserves a new thread.
This product is amazing.  If you really want to understand why we rant so much about this product, and thus dont get the depth to this machine, than you have not read enough through the forums.  On a sidenote, if you think a product must perform exactly as you want, then you are either a entrepreneur with billions or just another big mouth on the internet who is talking about things they dont understand- with only lights and a pc in your house,maybe, since every product is not ideal.

Did you not see the smart configs for halo that will be implemented into the xim3?
These were not the best of us playing those matches either. there is a thread talking about how we need more vids from players for promotion and discuss how much these vids to not adequately show the performance we have now, thanks for reading.
Also,Halo is about brains more than aiming, way more than cod i would say.  So thats a factor not indicated either.  It all depends on who is playing...first off.

And DPI, in my opinion, is the solution to your observation of sniping. The dpi (and secondary sensitivity) force the shitty controller to give up a precision that is damn hard to compare with any person using a controller that I have seen.  Understanding exactly how the xim works makes you realize its limitations are inevitable, its not a pc we are playing on...we have to go through the controller (not that most people would notice who play casually).  



Did you see skippyfx's videos in cod?- precision...we are all using these xim for one reason, the xfpos DID NOT HAVE PRECISION, this has pinpoint accuracy....
Yes we should have more vids, but for those of us who use hdmi its hard...

Only critique is that I wish the forums showed the most read, or have rated threads, so people like this wouldn't be ignorant to the length of time this community has been around (and the variety it assumes within itself) where all of the issues come to light.  Like the biggest topic bitched about is autoaim...deducing that its the limitations of the game that impede one's ability, and the xim is superior to the actual game mechanics on the 360 to the point that they become a hampering issue.

the xim3 is better.  read about it... the search bar is great (or the big banner that says xim3 discussion).

I cannot lurk for hours on end but I have read the majority of what you suggested I haven't. The only thing I did not find was the discussion for more videos, but that doesn't help me. Yes, if the product doesn't solve any of my problems then I simply do not need it. That is why I said the XIM has to perform as I expect or else I'll waste everyone's time by returning it.

Without solid evidence and example of its performance I am only left with the whimsical word of people I do not know. That is all I'm saying. It's very difficult to find any concrete information about the XIM products, be it any of the generations, other than guesswork of how the product may feel based on the videos.

How am I suggesting the XIM sucks? I did not say anything like that. I said the videos did not appear to feature competitive game play. And, yes, I said the reticle jitters, because it does, but I suggested this was only a configuration issue which you confirmed on.

I have read, and read plenty. This is undue aggression.

It's only jittery if you grossly over-sensatize the setup.
Works something like this:

If I am not mistaken, there is a return policy.  
So you can buy it, toy with it, and come to your own conclusions so you dont have to post about it anymore as an abstract concept to you.  Have a high DPI mouse (which I did not at first) and read about what each dimension of how the controller is broken down by the xim and altered (translation exponeant, diagonal dampening, ect.).  Use someone elses config (I prefer SkippyFx's but with lower primary sensitivity) and play MW2.   Then use the smart config to try halo.
And my aggression runs in the fact that you discuss aspects of the xim that occur through experience, and you make deductive assumptions i think are actually more of leaps.  Logically, any other product does not have a forum like this one, the reason why xim2 exists was to get rid of what is now a competing product (xfpos), where  the idea of profit for the creator has never been an issue (until now, where xim3 is possibly mass produced?), one should  conclude then that this product is the best one in the field. If you think the best could still be bad, which I was thinking, then buy it and then talk.  
If you find out what the xim does that is different than the xfpos, and become knowlegable, probably through buying it first, about how it works, than you can have an objective basis for discussion.  This process is what many have gone through without them knowing it or not.


AND there is a vid on youtube (cod4 training in 18.4 seconds or something with xim) shows the actual movement of mouse in relation to the screen (if toys' vid doesnt clarify actual mouse movement enough for you)

Just got my XIM360 in the mail. THANKS SkARleTjaKARtA!!!

Like most people here my story is very familiar. I started out console gaming in the 80's but once online gaming on the PC hit hard, I abandoned the consoles. My brother is a diehard 360er and he always wants me to game with him but the gamepad for FPS games is a joke at best.

So today I got my XIM and a G9X mouse. Grabbed a random config and fired up MW2. I still need some practice and some fine tuning of my config but WOW what a difference! Of course there are great gamepad people and that's cool but now I can game with my brother withoutspraining my thumbs!! Thanks guys and I look forward to the XIM3 when it comes out. i will get that and use the XIM2 as a backup or gift it to my bro. Love this thing already and I've had it for a total of about 2 hours!  Grin

great product so far. had noob issues at first setting it up but Mist helped me. My KDR since i got my XIM2 in mw2 has been 2.94 and rising. i can actually use nukes now lol. with my controller my KDR was 1.23. i even created ( or so i think i did if u guys didnt first) a new move in mw2 when i jump and belly flop while shooting at my opponents head with pin point accuracy. i love it lol. and dont get me started with halo. the smart config is great and i own in swat and snipers. i always get mvp now and i always carry my team whether we win or lose. i cant wait till Reach comes out.. Grin..my new mission now is to get at least three 50's in halo 3 before Reach drops and i drop halo 3 4ever. wish me luck
