[Q/A] My xim 4 flashes red and yellow after starting up:
« on: 09:06 AM - 09/12/17 »
Hello,

I got myself a xim4, mainly for overwatch and it finally arrived today.
Now i have  got a problem: After the rainbow sequence the keyboard and mouse only light up for ~2sec and the. the xim flashes yellow and red for about 20sec and when i go to the app it says there are no devices connected except for the ps4.
Since i got it today, i have no idea why and how to fox it so i hope for fast help.
My keyboard is a corsair strafe rgb and mouse is a zowie ec2-a.

Thanks to anyone who helps me:)

Welcome to the community. This is a power fault caused by your setup attempting to draw more power than is available. If you're on PS4 you can start by connecting the controller directly to the console until fully charged. If on X1 remove the controller battery. Next you can reduce your power load by either disabling LEDs on your mouse and keyboard, using low power peripherals, or adding a USB 2.0 powered hub between XIM4 and your mouse and keyboard to supply additional power to these devices..

Update:
I charged my controller and my mouse now gets recognized, but my controller and keyboard still dont show up in xim manager.
The mouse shows up bit doesnt work bit i guess that is, because the controller is not connected yet.
Thank u again for ur help.

Another update:
Controller didnt connect because of a @#$% usb cable, its working now and mouse has actual input in game now, but keyboard still doesnt get detected

Try updating your XIM4 firmware using the build below. It improves hardware compatibility. A PC or Mac is required.

You can find the latest firmware below. Please read the instructions on the download page.
