Prepare the hardware
Have your XIM MATRIX, supported input devices, a data-capable USB cable, and the authentication controller if required for the chosen output.
GUIDE / FIRST SETUPYOUR FIRST XIM
YOUR FIRST XIM
MATRIX SETUP.
An honest, beginner-friendly walkthrough. Different platforms and output modes require different connections.
START HERE
The correct order of operations.
Connect by platform
Use the Connection Builder and official instructions. PS5 DualSense output normally uses local-network Remote Play; Xbox controller output uses the authentication controller.
Open XIM MATRIX Manager
Check its connection status and choose New Config with the correct game, output and input.
Apply required game settings
Match official game settings or compatible custom values. Avoid copying numbers from an unrelated game.
Set mouse DPI & sensitivity
Use your actual DPI and start with comfortable cm/360 sensitivity; test measured turns in a training area.
Save and preserve a baseline
Test bindings, back up known-good settings, then discover more Configs through T800 in Zentrix Discord.
SEE THE DIFFERENCE
Inputs and outputs are separate choices.
A mouse-and-keyboard user can select different outputs depending on the target platform. Incorrect output selection or missing controller authentication can prevent a working connection even if the Config looks correct.
