It works at all XIM APEX Response Rates and is available within Expert configuration mode. There are 4 settings you can choose from:

     DefaultThis is the default and is designed to generally work well on all games and matches the behavior of all XIMs prior to XIM APEX.
     CommonIf your game runs at 60fps, try this setting. If switching from Default, divide your sensitivity by 2.
     SlowIf your game runs at 30fps, try this setting. If switching from Default, divide your sensitivity by 4.
     OffDisables synchronization. Use this setting if you prefer to behavior of the retail XIM APEX firmware.
● Smoothing Precision: Mouse smoothing precision improvements. The Smoothing property is available within Expert configuration mode.

● Manager Localization: Manager now includes support for these additional languages: Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), French, Japanese, and Spanish

● Walk speed increased: Keyboard (digital) player walk speed reduced from last build.
