New article on XIM APEX from VICE Gaming

[OBsIV]

Hey everyone, there is a new article on XIM APEX and the debates around it from VICE Gaming. I thought the author (Emanuel) did a really great job on capturing what I said in the interview and also perspectives from others in the space (such as disabled gamers).

Check out the article and share it with others.

This was a great read. It really makes me appreciate everything the Xim team does even more! If you haven't yet, definitely give it a read through!

Also, I just wanted to say thanks for standing up for what's right. This article really gives me a different perspective and makes me appreciate what I have even more.

I don't have a major disability like some of the people who need the Xim to play games, but carpal tunnel is @#$% near agonizing at times from my line of work and controllers bring it to it's worst for me after a short period of playing with them. Thanks for allowing me to play console games with my family as I had for years before these issues arose.

I will be posting this on my (albeit very few) social media accounts in hopes it helps someone else out there struggling... or that has already given up.

Nice article. Bravo.

Very balanced, non-judgemental article.

"This is also why Mark insists that using a XIM isn't cheating. The device isn't trying to let users do something that a controller can't. It's trying to understand how that controller works, and let users choose the input methods they like best. In other words, the XIM Apex works well precisely because it's playing by the rules of the game's aiming system, not because it's circumventing them."

Good explanation as to why the XIM isn't cheating, OBsIV.

Nice read, if it wasn't for xim I wouldn't be playing on console and 90% of my friends only. Play consol.  Super thankful for the miracle product you have created.

First of all, great article! Need more of that to all of those in grief and loss whiners(sorry , who's being shot dead 24/7 by xim users. Even while matchmaking. Sometimes in game menu. Life ain't easy for them.

I've read it through (tldr, sorry for that too), and it seems to me there's no mention on a variety of PC's configurations. E.g someone playin' PUBG on a mid-range laptop with (or without) discrete graphics on min settings vs someone on 2 Nvid's 2080 on ultra, some top grade stuff, you know. It's not only about fancy shaders you get, but consistency of framerate, resolution (well detailed landscape gives you more chances to notice enemy, i believe).

Don't get me wrong, i'm not jealous, i want everyone to play on topgrade gamestations gazzilion core latest intel's chips, etc. My point is, where is the cheating? Where is that sneaky m***r?))

Amazing Article!

I don't get why people are so upset. The lack of true M&KB support on console has meant the complete and utter death of many genres on console, like RTS. This is such a shame and something people should be more angry about than the occasional XIM user. Consoles lack so much great content from PC because of this.

Thank you OBsIV for making these products i am a disabled gamer myself i had a stroke a few years ago which affected my right side i use to be a pc gamer then i switched over to console as my friends and my some of cousins did, after the stroke i could no longer play with a controller due to limitations with my right arm and my right hand if it wasn't for the xim4 and now the apex i wouldn't even be switching my console on it would be here gathering dust.i will never be a gaming god but at least i'm back in to gaming and having some fun.
