XIM NEXUS Hip VS. ADS Hip vs. Aim Down Sight (ADS) Most shooters have the ability to Aim Down Sight (ADS) (also called “Zoom” or “Scoped”). When not in ADS, it’s called Hip Aim. Typically, ADS is activated using the LEFT TRIGGER on most games.
Page 20
XIM NEXUS Edit Overview Edit Config Page Overview Config editing is divided into sections. Changes to settings occur on Controller in real-time. These sections include Hip and Aim Down Sight (ADS) settings and button mappings (bindings). You will only see an ADS section if your game has an ADS mode that has different aiming behavior than Hip.

XIM NEXUS Stick Aim Adjusting Stick Aim Sensitivity The first thing to do when editing your Config is to get your stick aim sensitivity to feel correct. Your in-game stick sensitivity should already be set to MAXIMUM. You reduce that speed here.

XIM NEXUS Motion Aim Adjusting Motion Aim Sensitivity Motion aim provides the gamer with the ability to constantly and rapidly correct their stick aim with motion. It can be used for micro adjustments to your stick aim, or your primary precision aim where the stick is used for coarse aim. Motion aim is combined with stick aim (it is additive).
XIM NEXUS Motion Smoothing Tuning Motion Aim Smoothing XIM NEXUS includes a sophisticated Motion Engine to enable the gamer to tune motion aim response to their preference. Several presets are included as well as the ability to customize behavior. ADJUST SMOOTHING:...

XIM NEXUS Motion Activation Motion Aim Activation Motion aim can be activated in different selectable ways. As a gamer becomes more proficient with motion, they may choose to keep it activated at all times while in game. CHOOSE MOTION ACTIVATION METHOD: There are four options for activating motion based on your personal preference.
XIM NEXUS Button Mapping Changing Button Mappings Button mappings allow you to remap almost every button to a different action (such a pressing a console button). They are also used to declare which buttons are used for certain actions in game (the role such as Aim Down Sight).
Page 27
In this example, a partial (light) press of the trigger can be used to enable motion before firing occurs. In this case, 50% XIM NEXUS trigger pull maps to 0% console controller trigger (use the slider to set to 0).
Page 28
XIM NEXUS Advanced Triggers: Quick Pull Quick Pull In addition to the flexibility provided by Trigger Mapping, you can also increase your trigger speed using Quick Pull. Quick Pull makes it so that you don’t have to fully release your trigger in order to start and complete the next pull. Combine this with hair triggers to greatly increase your firing speed.
Page 29
This will typically be mapped to 100% trigger pull of the console controller. However, most games switch to ADS before 100% so there will be a small period of time through your trigger pull where your game is in ADS before your XIM NEXUS. Generally, most users won’t notice this, but here is how you would better synchronize your ADS trigger with the game.
Page 30
Stick Curves True Stick Curves XIM NEXUS has the ability to provide true customizable stick aiming curves through its proprietary aim translation technology. Meaning, it’s not applying aim curves on top of the game’s existing curves (producing incorrect and unintuitive aim behavior like other controllers).

XIM NEXUS ADS Delay ADS Activation Delay Some games that support aiming down sight will switch to that mode after time delay (such as until a zoom-in animation completes). These settings allow you synchronize your XIM’s ADS transition exactly to that of game’s current aiming state.
