Chapter 1：Introduction: What is Cross Hair
Cross Hair aims to provide the best mouse and keyboard control solution for all game
consoles (such as PS4, PS3, XBOX ONE,XBOX 360 etc), and the freedom to choose
between the keyboard, mouse, joystick, and other controllers.
For beginners, Cross Hair can give you a smooth and easy experience while playing
games using your own keyboard and mouse. On the contrary，a controller for aiming in
FPS(First-Person Shooting) games is really troublesome.
For advanced users, it lets you enjoy the game as you wish with whatever hardware you

like: the gaming-grade keyboard and mouse or joystick or preferred controller.
Cross Hair has 4 working modes, which you should know.
●PLAY MODE: When connecting to game console, controller, keyboard and mouse are
ready, its LOGO will be a breathing color, and then you can play your game.
●PC MODE: When connecting to PC and no USB device plugged into it, its LOGO will be
white, then it can be configured on PC by using Cross Hair Manager. Meanwhile you can
upgrade firmware and restore factory configuration in this mode.
●CONFIG MODE: Any time while playing a game (in PLAY MODE), just press
SHARE+OPTIONS (PS4 platform) keys on your controller to enter this mode and the
LOGO’s light will be turned off in this mode. Then you can change settings and get instant
feed back.
●REPAIR MODE: Hold down the button, then plugging Cross Hair into your PC, when the
LOGO is green, you can then release the button, and a stable green light means REPAIR
MODE. In this mode, Cross Hair’s firmware and configurations can be repaired.

fast activation.
Once the hotkey is invoked in PLAY MODE, this configuration will be activated instantly.
Please pay attention to this function. It can not only be used to swap between different
games but also to swap between different battle modes. Such as, you set up a
configuration for infantry in BF4 and you also set up another configuration for tank in BF4
with different keymapping and HIP/ADS sensitivity. With this function in hand, you can
swap between different battle modes instantly during your gaming.
2.2.12 Stick mapping

User Manual of Cross Hair
http//www.reasnow.com PAGE 12 / 28
● Choose keys from keyboard or mouse or joystick to replace left and right stick.
2.2.13 Original controller setting
These settings are dedicated for the original controller, the one plugged into USB
port 1.
●Deadzone: The deadzone here is used to adjust the sensitivity of left and right stick on
the original controller, the one plugged into USB port 1. Leave it as default, if you have no
trouble with the sticks on controller. A smaller value means more sensitivity, but that
sometimes may also causes trouble for controlling. By default, the value is 16.
2.2.14 Third party controller setting
These settings are dedicated for the third-party controller, the one plugged into
USB port 2 or 3.
Such as: Logitech G13, Sony Move Navigation Controller, Logitech Attack3 and other
controllers which are used to replace the original one.
●Deadzone: The dead-zone here is used to adjust the sensitivity of left and right stick on
the third-party controller (Joystick), the one plugged into USB port 2 or 3. Leave it as
default, if you have no trouble with that controller. A smaller value means more sensitivity,
but that sometimes may also causes trouble for controlling. By default, the value is 16.
●Vibration Strength: A bigger value means stronger vibration, a smaller value means
weaker vibration. By default, the value is 10. If it is set to 0, there will be no vibration on the

User Manual of Cross Hair
http//www.reasnow.com PAGE 13 / 28
third-party controller (Joystick).
2.2.15 Mouse settings
These settings are dedicated for mouse controlling.
Typically in FPS games, you will have two modes of shooting: HIP and ADS (Aim Down
Sight), so you have to set them separately. The bigger the value, the faster the mouse
movement. You can change them to a suitable value, according to your mouse and game.
Normally, Cross Hair will activate HIP sensitivity, but when the ADS mode is enabled in
game by a corresponding key. The ADS sensitivity will be activated too. This is designed
to improve the control of some weapons with optics.
Please remember to set mouse’s DPI and game’s LOOK sensitivity to maximum first. And
after these two procedures are done, if the mouse is too slow, you need to set HIP and
ADS sensitivity to a bigger value. If the mouse is too fast, you need to set HIP and ADS
sensitivity to a smaller value.
As for YX Ratio, it’s the ratio of mouse’s Y and X direction movement speed. Do not
change it, unless you understand its meaning.
2.2.16 Steering wheel settings
These parameters are only for racing games in legacy mode!
●Wheel：Choose your wheel from this drop-down menu
●Vibration Strength: A bigger value means stronger vibration on the steering wheel, a
smaller value means weaker vibration on the steering wheel.
●FFB Strength: Force Feedback strength，A bigger value means stronger feedback

User Manual of Cross Hair
http//www.reasnow.com PAGE 14 / 28
strength on the steering wheel, a smaller value means weaker feedback strength on the
steering wheel.
●Sensitivity: A bigger value means the steering wheel is more sensitive in game ，a
smaller value means the steering wheel is less sensitive in game.
For racing games in expert mode
You just need to choose the wheel you are going to use.
2.2.17 Primary and secondary mapping
This right-arrow button is used to switch between primary and secondary mapping.
In this way, you can have two options for one key on the original controller.
As default, the secondary mapping is used for a third-party controller. You can change that
to whatever you like.

User Manual of Cross Hair
http//www.reasnow.com PAGE 15 / 28
2.2.18 More settings
This button will bring you to options that are not frequently used.
2.2.19 Notification settings

If selected, when turn speed exceeds maximum, the LOGO will flash red twice.
Aim Down Sight indication:
If selected, when ADS is activated, the LOGO will flash green twice.
2.2.20 Flip vertical movement

2.2.21 Aim Down Sight toggle
Once enabled, you can activate ADS sensitivity by clicking the corresponding key, such as

User Manual of Cross Hair
http//www.reasnow.com PAGE 16 / 28
the right key of mouse. And clicking again on the same key will deactivate ADS sensitivity.
You do not need to hold the key all the while.
2.2.22 Key mapping mode
We provide 2 kinds of key mapping mode in CONFIG MODE: 1:1 mode and N:1 mode
By default, the key mapping mode in CONFIG MODE is 1:1 mode. If you enable this
option, it will be N:1 mode.
1:1 mode: It means that one button on the original controller can be mapped into one key
from keyboard or mouse or the third-party controller.
N:1 mode: It means that multiple buttons on the original controller can be mapped into
one key from keyboard or mouse or the third-party controller. It can provide flexibility, but it
will also cause some confusion. For if you are mapping a button on controller to a key on
keyboard in CONFIG MODE in N:1 mode, it will not clear the original mapping of this key,
the original mapping will be kept, and the new mapping will be add to the key. Once this
key is pressed, it will release all the buttons’ functions that are mapped to it at the same
time.
This option will not take effect when you are using Cross Hair Manager to change the
keymappings.
2.2.23 Custom Game options
These 2 options are used only for Custom Game, do not change them in preset games.
Aim Down Sight: ADS function may be invoked by different key on controller, due to
different game and console. If you are using a Custom Game configuration, please select
correct key of ADS.
Deadzone Type: If you are using a Custom Game configuration, please select correct
type of Deadzone according to the game.

User Manual of Cross Hair
http//www.reasnow.com PAGE 17 / 28
2.2.24 Load Behavior
This option will change the behavior of your configuration, after it was activated by hotkey.
There are three choices: Standard, Temporary Hold, and Temporary Toggle.
Standard: The configuration is activated by its hotkey and stays active.
Temporary Hold: The configuration is activated only when its hotkey is pressed and the
previous configuration will be reloaded back when the hotkey is released.
Temporary Toggle: The configuration is activated after its hotkey is invoked and the
previous configuration will be reloaded back when the hotkey is invoked again.
2.2.25 Swap L/R sticks
Once the key is clicked, it will swap the functions of L/R stick. Clicking it again will restore
the original state.
2.3 Global Settings
2.3.1 Previous and next configuration
These keys can be alternative ways to activate a configuration instead of the hotkey.
2.4 Setting up in-game (CONFIG MODE)
We provide our users with this function for the most flexible and comfortable setting
experience. Although everything of Cross Hair can be configured on PC using its Manager,
you will like setting it up in-game, for this procedure will give you instant feed back when
changing the settings.
Any time in game, just press SHARE+OPTIONS（PS4 platform）keys on your controller to
enter CONFIG MODE and the LOGO’s light will be turned off in this mode.
Different platform has different keys to use.

and hear a higher pitch sound once the key is pressed.
Square/X key is for decreasing Force Feedback strength. You will see a flashing blue light
and hear a lower pitch sound once the key is pressed.
2.4.5 Mapping keys (CONFIG MODE)
In CONFIG MODE, to begin a key mapping, you should press the PS key (PS4/PS3) or
GUIDE key (XBOX ONE/360). Then the LOGO will show flashing blue. This means you
can choose one key on the controller to be mapped.
Once the key on the controller is pressed, LOGO will show a stable blue light, and then
wait for the corresponding key on the keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc. After selecting your
key, Cross Hair will keep flashing blue again. Then a new key mapping can be continued.
Just like the general key’s mapping, if you are planning to use keys on keyboard or mouse
to replace stick on controller, push the stick to its maximum on one direction (such as Up
direction), LOGO will show a stable blue light, and then wait for the corresponding key on
the keyboard, mouse, etc. After selecting your key, Cross Hair will keep flashing blue
again. Then you can continue to map a new direction of this stick.
After mapping all the keys, you can press SHARE+OPTIONS（PS4 platform）keys on your
controller to exit the CONFIG MODE, and end the mapping procedure.

User Manual of Cross Hair
http//www.reasnow.com PAGE 20 / 28
All the changes will be saved in the activated configuration during the exiting. If you do not
exit the CONFIG MODE, all changes will be lost.
Mapping keys in CONFIG MODE is recommended, as you can get instant response
in-game, and all the keys can be mapped. On the contrary, in PC MODE, some special
keys of your mouse, keyboard or joystick may not be detected due to OS's limitations.
It is especially recommended to use CONFIG MODE for mapping keys of joystick or
controller.
Chapter 3：Playing Games
3.1 Things to do before playing
There are still 3 steps before playing
Step 1: Set mouse DPI to Maximum
Step 2: Set sensitivity in game to Maximum
Step 3: Change HIP/ADS sensitivity of Cross Hair according to your need
Step 1: Set mouse DPI to Maximum
If you have a configurable mouse, please follow 3.1.1 – 3.1.4.
If you have a mouse which can not be configured, just skip 3.1.1 – 3.1.4.
If your mouse is configurable but have no on-board memory in it that means your
settings will be lost when the mouse is unplugged from PC, remember to set its DPI
to maximum by using the DPI button on it every time you use the mouse with Cross
Hair.
1 Mouse DPI(CPI)
Make sure the mouse you are using is configured at its highest DPI, or you should connect
it to a PC, and use some software from the producer to change the DPI to maximum.
Remember high DPI can give you better experience in game.
2 Mouse Report Rate
Set your mouse USB polling rate to 500 or 1000.
