Best Xim Edge Deals

Customer Ratings:

i havent bought this here on amazon but i would like to leave a review. first, i have a fragfx v2 for two years. then last september, decided to try out TAC3. after a couple of horrible games last week, i slammed the tac3 mouse so hard at my desk that i broke the right click and left click button. that's why i decided to try this thing out. when i recieved it on the mail yesterday and hooked it up and after all the configuration, the game play on call of duty black ops 2 was really good. i get headshots after headshots. it has 1:1 feel on the mouse. just like playing it on PC.

so, don't waste your money and time getting all those other converters. get this and you'll make those 6 year olds cry.

you can get them at their own website for less. just google it.

This product works. I was really apprehensive about it but the more I tinkered with it, the more I came to enjoy it. To get it started you need to plug it into your computer and set everything up, after you visit the website and download the utility to use it. You then are able to add games to it that you have and then go into each game and setup a function key so that way you can quick switch between games. Then comes the hard part. You go into each game and adjust your sensitivity to everything that you are going to use. Once you get that down your good to go and barely anyone on MP can touch you. The first round of COD I came out 20 kills and 5 deaths once I figured out what my favorite setup was. If you have some computer know how and want to get the precision of the mouse on Xbox or PS3 this is the toy for you.

This is an unbiased review. I friggin love this thing. it really does work. i have been looking for a mouse adapter for the xbox for 2 years, but didnt want to commit to something that wouldnt work. this does. and its easy to use. hardly any lag at all. after 3 years on FPS on the xbox, i hated the joystick aim. my ratio jumped to 2:1 on the first day. only way to play fps now on my xbox.

Honest reviews on Xim Edge

I have been using XIM as my mouse and keybord adapter for consoles since the XIM1, back when it was a basement Do-It-Yourself project. I have also used and tried various other mouse and keyboard adapters, such as the Smart Joy Frag, XFPS, and SplitFish. Technically I am currently using the XIM3, not the XIM Edge, but the only major difference between the two is the interface, not the backbone translation, so I feel the review still applies.

First, there are some key things to be aware of before you make a purchase (and this applies to ANY m&kb adapter):

They emulate the joystick, so its not like a PC. The resulting output from the adapter is in essence, a joystick position. So with that in mind, there are a lot of joystick related aspects built into every game to assist the joystick, and these aspects ultimately hinder the mouse, and thus the adapter must overcome these hindrances to be of any quality. Such as:

Dead Zone (the area of the joystick which results in no in-game movement)

Dead Zone shape (the shape of the deadzone, usually a square, rectangle or circle)

Acceleration Curve (the relationship between the joystick angle and in-game reticle velocity, which is not linear)

X&Y axis differences (not all games treat the X&Y axis the same)

For the adapter to have any quality at all, it must provide a reasonable 1:to:1 relationship between mouse input and the in-game reticle output. And with that in mind, XIM is HANDS DOWN the best available mouse and keyboard adapter on the market. XIM will give you without any doubt, the best possible mouse and keybaord experience that can be obtained on a console. XIM3 & Edge both use something called Smart Translators, which gives you as-good-as-it-gets 1:to:1 translation between the mouse and the in-game reticle movement. The creator of XIM built some kind of magic automated vision learning tool which will actually map all the characteristics between the joystick and the in-game reticle movement. The Smart Translators take care of everything. No other adapter on the market has anything even remotely similar to the quality of the XIM Smart Translators. And you still get additional settings to tailor it to your needs, like sensitivity.

Having said all that... XIM is still not perfect. And if you expect XIM to be equivalent to a PC quality mouse control, its just not going to happen. That is not exactly XIM's fault though, some games simply have built-in features for the joystick & game which XIM cant overcome. Like auto-aim, which at face value would seem like an advantage, but when auto-aim kicks in, the mouse feels sluggish. The 1:to:1 translation drops off. Also there is the maximum turn rate i.e joystick pegged. Some games simply have a slow maximum turn speed, and unfortunately, XIM cant make it go faster. The quality of the translation will very game to game (but COD is perhaps the best).

Some last notes:

Always set your in-game sensitivity setting to the Maximum value.

Smart Translators are game specific. If you are using the COD translator for Halo, the quality will suffer.

Twitch aiming does not work so well, so no instant snap 180 degree turnarounds you need to learn to move the mouse at a speed which would peg-and-hold the joystick.

The XIM Edge interface is not that great, deal with it, the in-game results are worth it (XIM3 interface is great though... but they stopped making them).

XIM has a pretty active community too, which is helpful if you are getting stuck on setup, have questions, or looking for other XIMmers. http://www.xim3.com/community/index.php

I am an old PC Gamer and pretty adept at using a KB & mouse. Does a pretty good job on the PS3, some functions I was unable to map. The directions are not clear at times, but most info is on-line at utube. If you do not like game pads, this is the way to game. You can really kick ass.
