Rev 9/18/20 10 | 29
Mouse Configuration
Before you begin, there are four important settings that must be set properly for best mouse performance with
KeyMander 2. Open the K2 App and select the default Gamepad profile for your game system, or download a
preconfigured game profile for your game from the Game Center tab, then follow the instructions below.
1. Maximize all in-game sensitivity
settings. Note: make sure to check
the profile page on Game Center for
the list of required changes to the in-
game settings for the profile to
perform correctly.
2. Set your mouse to it’s maximum DPI setting,
then set the K2 App’s mouse setting to match.
When using a mouse with software such as
G Hub (Logitech), you will need to adjust
the DPI using the software included with the
mouse. For mice with greater than 16,000
SPI set the mouse to 16,000. This will allow
you to have a greater range of mouse
sensitivity when adjusting the controls with
the KeyMander 2 app.
Note: Setting your mouse to maximum DPI
resolution is the standard recommendation,
however in some games we may
recommend a different DPI setting to
improve performance. These settings will be
listed on the game profile download screen
inside the Game Center tab, so always
make sure to check after downloading new
profiles from Game Center. A minimum
mouse resolution of 3500 DPI or greater is
recommended for advanced gamers.

Rev 9/18/20 11 | 29
3. Use the K2 App to adjust the Deadzone settings for the mouse.
Note: A properly set deadzone is normally the
step where the aim/look view begins moving on
its own in any axis. That means for example, if
setting the X axis to 16 causes the aim/look
view to begin slowly moving to the right, the
correct X axis deadzone setting is 16.
4. Use the K2 App to adjust the mouse sensitivity to your liking.
Note: Every console game has a maximum turning speed set
by the game’s developer, and turning up the sensitivity too
high can exceed this limit and cause the mouse to move
slower and slower the more you exceed this limit. It it strongly
recommended to start testing with a lower sensitivity and
slowly increase the sensitivity until you find the point of best
performance for your style of play. More information about
maximum turn speed can be found in the Troubleshooting
section under Understanding Mouse Performance with
KeyMander 2.

Rev 9/18/20 12 | 29

Rev 9/18/20 13 | 29
Customizing Profiles
The preloaded profile is for PlayStation 4 only. If you are a
Nintendo Switch or Xbox One user, please select a profile that
corresponds to your game system. These profiles are console
specific but not game-specific, so once the proper default profile
for your console is loaded the settings can be adjusted for the
specific game you are playing. Aside from adjusting profile
settings, you can also customize the profile from the Library tab
view. Swipe left on the profile to make changes such as renaming,
changing profile icon, or change the format to a different game
system. Swipe right to duplicate a profile. You can also download
and customize the preconfigured profiles from the Game Center
tab on the K2 App.
Function Mapping
The K2 App allows you to set all controller functions to the keyboard keys and mouse buttons of your
choice, or in the case of the Controller Crossover Mode you can set the buttons bindings to your
preference on the controller you wish to use.
To map the controller functions:
1. Open the K2 App and select a profile to modify.
2. Select the Mapping tab and scroll down to the function you wish to map.
Direct Mapping
1. Press the desired game controller button.
2. Press the corresponding button on the App and the controller button will be
mapped to that key.
Pencil Mode Direct Mapping
The Pencil icon inside the circle on the Mapping tab allows quick function
mapping.
1. Press the pencil icon to get started.
2. Press the controller function you want to map.
3. Press the keyboard key or mouse button where you want it assigned.
4. Press the save icon inside the circle to store the setting.

Rev 9/18/20 14 | 29
Turn Speed
The Turn Speed slider adjusts the
amount of acceleration that KeyMander
2 adds when moving your mouse.A
setting of 0 on the slider is equal to zero
acceleration added by KeyMander 2.
Settings of 1-50 add progressively
greater amounts of aim acceleration to
compensate for games with a slow
aim/look mechanic. When tuning your
profiles it is always best to start at 0
and begin making adjustments only
when needed. For best accuracy
remember to tune your Aim/Look
sensitivity first, then fine tune the Turn Speed slider as needed for your style of play. Here's a quick
visual of how increasing Turn Speed slider setting works:
Mouse Traction Control
The Mouse Traction Control setting
adjusts the amount of vertical
correction applied when moving the
mouse horizontally, to help keep the
aim/look view level when making fast,
long turns. This feature is designed
that when spinning 180 degrees to
see an enemy behind you, a slightly
angled mouse swipe doesn’t cause
you to be aiming above their head or
below their feet. The cost for this
ability can be a loss of precision when
making diagonal movements or small
movements when aiming-down-sight for sniping. A setting of Level 1 is equal to maximum vertical
correction applied by KeyMander 2, and higher settings add decreasing amounts of correction up to
Level 7 where zero correction is applied. Depending on the game, most users will see improved
performance accuracy in long turns with the default setting, and advanced users will still see some
benefits between Levels 5-6. High level users that want no correction should select Level 7.

Rev 9/18/20 15 | 29
Walk Mode
The Walk Mode function allows holding an
additional key while also pressing one of the
WASD keys to reduce movement speed when
needed, like when sneaking up behind and
enemy for example. To set the Walk Mode,
Open the K2 App and select the Sensitivity
option, then select the Walk Mode tab, to open
the settings page. On the Launch Key line
choose a key to activate the function. Caps
Lock and Left Ctrl keys are usually the best
choice for using Walk Mode. After selecting the
activation key, choose either Hold to activate
Walk only when holding the key, or choose
Toggle to activate Walk until the key is pressed
again to deactivate Walk. Pressing the Walk key
and any direction key will allow you to move
slowly in the chosen direction.
Microphone Mode
KeyMander 2’s Microphone setting allows you turn
on or off the microphone function while you play,
and is very useful for headsets without a
microphone mute function. The default setting uses
the F9 key to toggle the microphone on/off, but can
also be programmed for push-to-talk functionality
using the “Hold” option in the setting menu. With the
Hold setting turned on, the microphone will only be
open (able to capture audio) while the F9 key is
being held down and will mute the microphone
when released. This feature may alternately be
programmed to a different key instead of F9.

Rev 9/18/20 16 | 29
Turbo Mode
The Turbo Mode (F10 key) changes the actuation
timing of a button from the keyboard or mouse to
allow a faster repeat rate when held. You can
enable or disable turbo for any controller button*
and set the timing (0.1~1 second) as needed. This
can be used in several ways, the most common is to
increase the rate of fire and in effect make a semi-
auto gun fully automatic where compatible. This
feature may not work with all guns or games, so you
will need to test the different timing options to find
what works best for your specific gun/game. To use
Turbo Mode you must enable the primary setting on
the Device tab, and also activate the Turbo function
on the key you want to use such as the right trigger
in the game profile. A selection wheel of timing
options will be displayed for you to choose from and
then press Save. If the first timing option does not
work with your game or gun, remember to try other options. Also remember that setting the timing too short
may stop other functions that use that button from working in your game so make sure to test thoroughly.
Macro Mode
The Macro Mode (F11 key) allows a single key
stroke or mouse click to perform multiple actions.
For example you can set: “UP, DOWN, LEFT,
RIGHT, X, O” to execute just by pressing the Y key.
You can also set combos where multiple buttons are
pushed at the same time such as “X+O” or
“R3+L3+R2”. To create a macro select the Macro
tab and then press the “+ Create Macros” button to
bring up the recording window. Enter the steps
exactly as you would execute the commands in the
game, with the same timing sequence and then
press the Stop Recording button at the bottom when
done. You can delete and rerecord a macro as
many times as needed to get the sequence correct.
Once the Macro is saved you can label it to help
remember its function. You can create up to 8
custom macros and each macro can have up to 8
controller buttons.

Rev 9/18/20 17 | 29
Gamepad Vibration
The Gamepad Vibration (F12 key) setting allows the tactile feedback from controller to be turned on and off as
needed without having to open the game console menu. To turn controller vibration on or off press F12 on the
keyboard or press the side button in the K2 App.
Controller Crossover Function
The KeyMander 2 supports controller crossover function to interchange OEM (factory-supplied) controllers
between game systems. You can share original Xbox One, PS4 or Nintendo Switch controllers between all
three game systems.
To connect and use a controller from a different console on your system:
1. For Xbox One and PS4 users connect your
OEM controller to the Gamepad Port. Nintendo
Swich users do not need to connect a controller
to the Gamepad Port.
2. Connect the controller you wish to use to the
Keyboard Port.
•The profile will automatically switch to F4
Crossover Mode when the controller is
connected to the Keyboard port.
Profile Backup and Restore
The K2 App has built-in access to cloud based storage for all your game profiles, and allows you to
backup and restore your profiles as needed.
To Backup your game profiles:
1. Press the Library tab at the bottom of the K2 App screen.
2. Press your account icon in the upper left hand corner of the app screen.
3. Press the Backup My Profles icon.
Note: the Backup function takes a “snapshot” of all profiles on your device and backs up those
profiles, while also deleting anything from your previous backup that is not currently shown in your
device library. This means if you share your library between multiple devices, you should always
start a new gaming session by restoring your previous backup before making changes
(downloading, sharing or modifying profiles).Always remember to backup your profiles after
making any profile changes you wish to keep. If you make changes to your profiles and do not
wish to keep them, you can perform a Restore which will overwrite your current profiles with those
from your most recent backup.
To Restore your game profiles:
1. Press the Library tab at the bottom of the K2 App screen.
2. Press your account icon in the upper left hand corner of the app screen.

Rev 9/18/20 18 | 29
3. Press the Restore My Last Update icon.
Note: the Restore function adds any profiles missing from your device since your last Backup, and
overwrites any current profiles on your device with the version from your last Backup. If you added
new profiles since your last Restore, they will be unaffected. The Restore function also makes it
easy to keep your profiles current across multiple devices if you start each session with a Restore.
Reset Function
If your KeyMander 2 fails an update, has connection problems with your mobile device, or exhibits any other
type of non-standard operation you can perform a system reset which may resolve the issue. There are three
