General Discussion / Re: Ps5 & xim apex compatibility

« on: 01:48 PM - 05/15/22 »

I check back every few weeks to see if any progress has been made getting the Xim to work on PS5.  Coming close to 2 years since launch and still do not see any promising leads.  I had so much fun being able to play shooters, I haven’t played my favorite genre since Blackout ended a few years back and I miss it.  I’ve tried using sticks but I’m just straight trash using sticks to aim really no point even playing the games. 

Just wish all shooters on console would support m/k native.

The Xim gave me some amazing times on the 4 Pro in Blackout, thanks for the fantastic device!

Going forward though… Is there any use of keeping an Apex if all I have is a 5?  I have not seen a single piece of info that states the Xim might be functional on the 5 by itself(no beloader, remote play, hooking PCs, etc)?  If it’s just a matter of using a different manufacturer dual sense that would be awesome, but I’ve not heard mention of that either.

If you really miss playing with m/kb that much wouldn't you be owning a Beloader or trying out PSRC by now? I know I can't wait for who knows when that time will come

Extra lag/input latency.  If I’m understanding it correctly beloader is using remote play, correct?

Where can I find the instructions on using remote play on ps5 with Xim Apex?  I’ve tried for months using the sticks but I can’t get used to them, I absolutely hate aiming in a fast paced game with sticks.

XIM APEX Discussions / Re: Is it possible to use remote play via smartphone USB hub Ethernet Xim Apex

« on: 06:26 AM - 01/08/22 »

Man… still can’t use the Xim normally.  It’s been a year since I’ve enjoyed multiplayer because for me controllers are dogshit for PvP.

Might be time to sell the 5 and go PC route.

General Discussion / Re: First official PS5 licensed third party controller out - anyone tried it?

« on: 04:09 PM - 10/28/21 »

My advice is to prepare for disappointment.

Recall that the Logitech G90 wheel is considered a specialty PS4 controller. All Sony needs to do to is whitelist racing games to allow specialty controllers, and for the Thrustmaster wheel to enumerate as one. No encryption required. No rumble royalties to pay to Immersion. The backdoor will remain open for selected titles, while Sony slams the door shut on the rest by forcing DualSense controllers.

If you want to play BF2042, either use Remote Play for the PS5 version, download the PS4 version, on PS5 or play the most performant version on Series X at 1440p 120Hz. Direct PS5 support is not coming down the pipe any time soon from anyone. Workarounds will still be needed and will require performance sacrifices and additional equipment.

Figured it was a lost cause on Ps5 being a year in and nothing remotely close to being fixed.

Yea I don't see any news like that on any of the companies websites. Titan, reasnow, cronus etc etc.

That type of news would be huge and circulating all throughout these products websites. I just don't see it.

This company only reached out to us so far. When I asked them why, they said that they wanted to work with us first because of our popularity. Also, because we are a reputable company that wouldn't cheat them in some way (which is true). They are concerned about theft so they are getting their initial batch ready first before announce. We will be getting one of these samples.

I hope this works out.  I’ve tried to get used to a controller for these games but no matter how much I try I just can’t get comfortable using sticks in FPS games.  It worked so dam good for my PS4 pro so I was hoping it would just carry over to the 5.  I understand it will take some time to get things right with new hardware but just hope that it does end up working.

I went from playing multiplayer almost all the time to barely playing much anymore.

Beta / Re: Uh remote play feels native

« on: 09:24 AM - 10/09/21 »

I just deleted BF2042 cause I can’t play a FPS with a controller.  I’m absolutely awful with them.

I’m guessing we will never get full support with the Xim on Ps5.

I hope this works out!  Thank you!

Did Sony add something to the DualSense to purposely lock out stuff like this Xim?

Is there a guide showing out to set up remote play with use of the Xim?

Probably not supported as the look mechanics are horrendous for using a mouse.

Thanks.

Theres no ST for it right now but I've been using the BFV ST and it works very well. Max put the ingame sensitivity but keep the acceleration at 0.

I’ll have to give this a go.

Beta / Re: Working 3rd party controller!?!?!?

« on: 04:54 PM - 08/04/21 »

Nacon Compact has no known problems. The issues were because some people had not upgraded to the beta XIM APEX firmware before using the Nacon Compact.

It's important to note that not all PS5 games work with specialty PS4 controllers. Doom Eternal and Final Fantasy VII require a DualSense.

XIM APEX PS5 support is conditional on the specialty controller workaround and game developers can remove them at any time. That's why there won't be PS5-specific Smart Translators for XIM devices.

So we will never have the ability to just use a DS controller?

Beta / Re: To use the Apex on the 5 can we use a dual shock 4 and/or supported 3rd

« on: 05:19 AM - 05/15/21 »

DS4 can be used to play PS4 games on PS5.

A supported third-party specialty PS4 controller is needed to play PS5 games. See https://xim.tech/beta for more info. Most of us are using either Hori or Nacon controllers.

DualSense is being worked on, but likely won’t be supported until licenced third-party controllers are available on PS5.

Thank you.

Beta / To use the Apex on the 5 can we use a dual shock 4 and/or supported 3rd

« on: 03:29 PM - 05/14/21 »

Controller?  It’s been months since I’ve played anything mouse related but I’m getting the urge.

Can I use a DS4 with the Apex on my 5 or does it have to be a 3rd party controller?

Do we know if we will ever get to use the Xim with the Dual Sense?

Beta / Re: For the Ps5 do I need a 3rd party controller or not for the Apex to work?

Check if you set the communitcation method to wired/usb in the console system settings, thats one of the most common reasons for why it doesnt work.

In Accessories, controllers, has communication method... then its use Bluetooth or use USB cable(this isn’t applicable for Dual Shock 4). 

Am I at the right place?

Yep, it’s working now!

Thank you!!
