Introducing XIM's "Smart" Mouse System Preview

[XanderChaos]

Wow, great job with the Halo 3 config! I just downloaded it now, but it already feels smoother and more accurate over my configuration. Halo 3 and L4D were the only FPS games that I had an issue configuring, so this'll really help.
CoD4/5 is incredibly easy to set up, but I guess one of these "Smart" mouse systems would make it easier for XIM newbies.

Have any idea why i'm at only 8 primary with a mx518 at 1800dpi?
I've installed CPL mouse fix.
I have mouse pointer acceleration off, and the pointer speed bar set the the middle.

And from what i'm reading of other peoples feedbacks, I don't think I'm getting close to their performance.

Maybe recalibrate?

OBsIV, you da man! I'm so glad the XIM was invented by YOU. Very nice work, gonna try out the new system in Halo 3 in a matter of hours. Gonna try it in Halo 2 as well - it's very close to Halo 3 in the controls department... just out of curiosity anyway.

GOOD JOB and Thanks.

Whith the 0.30 smoothness the mouse movement tends to feel laggy here. It feels more like a softwaremouse then hardware controlled.

yust my thought, mitch

Great job with the new software. Works perfect. I am running 2000dpi @ 35 primary. Love being able to alt+tab now, being that I use the same monitor for my 360 and PC on a KVM switch.

can the old version co-exist with this new system? id still like to use the old version for other games.  thanks.

Those knobs aren't used with the new system. Sounds like you are editing the config directly. You'll want to read the new information in the Default.xim included in the install.

I received my XIM2 today and im trying to create new profiles by copying default.xim and renaming it to say gears.xim

The problem im having is that when i load these profiles by double clicking them via  the XIM 360 folder im getting these errors:

error: invalid value 'gears'!
errorL section = rightstick

When i try to same game profile names from unspecified they never save.

I get the same thing when I try to change the "Game:" field in the XIM Configuration menu.  Can we not save the name of the config by typing in that field?

This is amazing, I just couldn't nail a good Halo3 config with the old system but with this - its nigh-on perfect.

Can't wait for the Battlefield BC update.

I'm pretty sure that's not the function of that box.  It's simply for selecting the games using the new smart mouse system.

You inadvertently answered my question.  Thanks!

Yea, I figured that but it would be cool if that turned into a new config switcher. Just have a drop down to select your config then edit it and save/load.

If that function won't ever be available it might be a good idea in the next version to lock that field so you can't edit it. Might save some headaches later on down the road. Unless OBsIV left it that way for a reason which I'm sure he did.

One thing that all the testers experienced was that it felt strange at first because they were so used to their own configs. I encouraged them to keep on using it and, after a couple of days, they all never wanted to go back.

Very true!  People need to distinguish between the awkwardness of adjusting to something that feels different, with the actual performance of the new XIMsmart software.  It took me a couple of day to fully adjust to the Beta.

Thanks OBsIV!!!

COD 4, Gears 2, and Unreal Tournament 3 have my vote for the next game.

Will the new "smart" system be available for 3rd party programmers?

Will you be releasing a version that allows us to plug in a game and "learn" it?
I really don't see RB6V2 being high on the list and yet it's far and away one of the toughest to nail down... Also, odd as it sounds, I have a wargame I'd like to use XIM2 with and I don't see that ever being configured.
