XIM Technologies 1005 Apex Precision Mouse and Keyboard Adaptor for Consoles

I always played my shooter games on a pc and I got used to using a keyboard and mouse to play. When I had a choice to build a new pc and spend more than 1200£ I started looking for an alternative. Xim Apex was a great choice. It is as good as people say it is.Things I like about it:1. It's easy to set up and use. But be aware it's not plug and play. I did my research and I learned how to set it before the package arrived. It's easy when You know what to do.2. Xim Apex offers brilliant performance, there is zero input lag 99,9% of the time. Every button on the keyboard and every move of the mouse works instantly. That's a great thing to have in a dynamic shooter game.3. The customization options for each game are very detailed allowing You to get the settings done exactly like You want them. Put enough time and effort into making the settings and enjoy the rewarding game.Things I don't like:1. Nothing to say here to be honest. I got the best thing available on the market to make sure I'm happy with the quality.

Admittedly this item isn't cheap BUT I have to say its been worth every penny. My son started gaming on his laptop about 12 months ago and really got used to playing with a keyboard and mouse. He recently bought Black Ops 4 and the PC servers seemed to be awful and really laggy. Plus all of his friends are playing on Xbox. So he wanted to return to Xbox gaming but really wanted to use the K&M still.We did some investigation and came across the Xim Apex. I was dubious at first as it was expensive, but now stand corrected. It's brilliant! Easy to set up and just seems to work like a dream! He has played both RDR2 and BOps4 and they both work very well. Excellent piece of kit!

Been a PC gamer for well over 20 years. Opted to get an XBOX X to play Red Dead Redemption 2 then started to fill out my game collection with the odd FPS title. I was doing ok but long term felt frustrated the controller wouldn’t allow me to do what I wanted. A mate recommended the Xim APEX to me. Took a while for me to actually go for it but I’m so glad that I made the leap. The difference is night and day. It isn’t the same as playing on PC but it is very very close in some titles.Some games respond better to the Xim than others but it really does make a difference. I’m a new user though and there are extensive customisable features and an active community to offer advice or share setups. Build quality is fine, I read somewhere someone said their APEX didn’t fit into the USB slot and the tolerance was quite poor. I can’t say I have had any issues with mine at all. Great bit of Kit!

I used this with a PS3. It's expensive for what it is but the results are impressive. I set my mouse to 10000DPI and increased the sensitivity to max in the games I tried for best results.Aiming in shooters was accurate but you may find that you don't have enough desk space to spin 180 or 360 degrees without lifting the mouse.I had to redefine the keys almost every time through the Android app as LMB and RMB weren't fire/ADS. I think they used the same keys (G,F I think, I don't have it switched on) for R2/L2.Saints Row the Third isn't officially supported but I used the config for the fourth game and it worked well but driving was a pain since accelerate used the "special" key. Maybe I should just grab the controller for driving.Driving in GTA V was a breeze. A and D to steer, LMB/RMB for accelerate/brake.

This is not complicated to program and tutorials are amazingly good. However, the product itself is limited. I am avid fps gamer and wanted to try this out instead of modified controller (like elite or ps4 top ends). It was a waste of time. It works perfectly but there is a noticable lag even with full hud customisation. I have a gaming monitor with low latency and gaming keyboard with gaming mouse. Everything is listed as compatible but still the lag in fps for high end players is too much. If you are looking for an advantage with keyboard and mouse look somewhere else.Also, please be aware that some games are now able to detect the xim chipset which is licensed from MS and is legitimate. However, due to the toxic game industry being as it is, you could be in trouble in some games. Your MS account is safe anyway as this does not count as a mod. Not sure about PS. Do your research and try on temp account before going full fledge mnk on controller games.

As a long term PC player who hasn't touched a controller for about a decade who recently picked up a xb1to play red dead this is a life saver, I am an extremely average player with a mouse and trying to play with acontroller again after so long has been an exercise in frustration, once you have set this up (which takes a fewhours to get it dialed in just right) I am very happy with how it works.I hold the controller with my left hand for movement and aim with the mouse and can finally enjoy thegame without half my shots ending up in trees or having to use dead eye as a crutch.You can even use it with one of the mmo style mice with the numpad and map the buttons to what ever youlike. I use it with a razer naga but I would think it will work with any mouse with built in memory.If you're on the fence and concerned about it not working to a satisfactory level I say get it.

I wouldn't necessarily say this product was easy to install or use and it is quite pricey but once you have it set up and everything is working how you want it to it is amazing.You pay for quality and this product is THE BEST KBM adapter for consoles on the market PERIOD.I've used Xim products since they first came out and have always enjoyed using them and have never had any software or mechanical issues with them. There's plenty of support on the website, videos, tutorial etc.If this is something you're interested in and you don't mind investing just a little bit of time to get to grips with it then you won't be disappointed.
