Compatibility The MILI23 is compatible with major simulation software on both PC and gaming consoles. It serves as a versatile tool for flight simulation, designed as a universal gamepad and keyboard emulator to ensure accessibility across different platforms. This design philosophy aims to enhance the accessibility of flight simulation on both PC and Gaming Console, without positioning itself as a brand-specific controller.

Installation PC and Xbox Connectivity 1. Connect the AXAIR MILI23 to Your Device: Use a USB-C cable to connect the MILI23 to your PC or Xbox. Ensure the connection is secure for optimal performance. 2. Device Recognition: Your device should automatically recognize the AXAIR MILI23 for PC but on the Xbox it will merge with your existing keyboard or a keyboard will show up if other keyboards are connected to the Xbox.

While a recommended initial setup is provided, you have the flexibility to customize your control assignments. 1. Navigate to Controls: Within MSFS, go to the "Controls Options" menu. Your MILI23 is shown only as "Keyboard," representing its input method. Remember that only 1 keyboard can show up in MSFS so if you already use a keyboard no additional keyboard will show up in the settings menu.
Page 9
MSFS will prompt you to press a key, at which point you’ll press the corresponding control on your MILI23. 4. Scan Your Control: Press the MILI23 control you wish to use for the selected action. MSFS recognizes this as a keyboard key press, assigning the action to that control. If not shown up correctly try again.
