How to Setup XIM with MAKCU for Controller
Important: This guide is only for using controller with MAKCU.
Prerequisites
Baud Rate Configuration
MAKCU's baud rate must match your software's expected speed. Ensure the baud rate is correctly configured before proceeding.
Mouse Functionality
When using XIM with controller, the mouse attached to USB 3 will no longer function as a mouse due to XIM converting MAKCU's mouse inputs to controller inputs. If you need a mouse to navigate your gaming PC while XIM + MAKCU is connected, connect another mouse directly to your PC (this means you need 2 mice: one for MAKCU, one for your PC).
Step 1: Prepare XIM
Before connecting MAKCU, your XIM must be fully functional with your game.
XIM Must Work First
The XIM should be fully functional with the game of your choice. Refer to XIM setup guides for configuring XIM with a mouse and controller, ensuring buttons and sticks are mapped to the mouse.
Test XIM Setup
Test that the mouse can move the right thumb stick in your game and that mouse buttons function as controller buttons. Only proceed once XIM is working correctly.
Step 2: Prepare MAKCU
Ensure MAKCU is fully functional before connecting to XIM.
MAKCU Must Be Fully Functional
MAKCU should be working normally before you add XIM.
Device on USB3
USB3 is where you plug in the mouse/controller (or its receiver) that MAKCU passes through to the game PC.
Step 3: Connect XIM and MAKCU
Once both XIM and MAKCU are fully prepared, connect them together.
Connection Steps
Connect XIM and MAKCU as shown in the video below. Ensure both devices are fully functional before connecting.
