A Config holds all your settings for a game such as motion behavior, thumbstick curves and button mappings.
Choose the supported game you are playing and the console. Your Config will be added to your Controller (around 20s).
Blinks WHITE while

Manager
XIM NEXUS’ input translation technology requires that your game’s sensitivity is set to MAXIMUM,HIGH,“INSANE”, etc.

Editing your Config
All Configs start with default values, but everyone’s preferences are different. You will want to edit your Config.
STEP 1 Load the game you want to play. Make sure game’s: aim sensitivity is MAXIMUM, and settings are applied
STEP 2 Find a spot that you can spend time in without disruption (such as a private session or training area)
STEP 3 Use Manager to make sure the correct Config is loaded for your game
STEP 4 Pick up your Controller and disable Classic Mode (if needed)
Try moving around the map and aiming with the thumbstick only -- it
may feel too fast (or too slow).
Try engaging motion by holding down the LEFT TRIGGER (default
binding) –it may also feel too slow.

Editing Experience
Standard vs. Expert Editing Experience
XIM NEXUS Manager offers two different types of Config editing modes: Standard and Expert
Standard Editing: The default editing experience. Only the most common
settings are available. This mode is intended to be used by beginners.
Expert Editing: When activated, this mode presents all settings
available to the user.
This User Guide covers the complete set of settings and features available to you. When you edit
your Config for the first time, you will need to switch to the Expert editing experience to access all
settings. To do so, scroll down and select the link:
All your settings changes are preserved if you switch between Standard and Expert editing modes.

Hip VS. ADS
Hip vs. Aim Down Sight (ADS)
Most shooters have the ability to Aim Down Sight (ADS)(also called “Zoom” or “Scoped”).
When not in ADS, it’s called Hip Aim. Typically, ADS is activated using the LEFT TRIGGER on most games.
For games that have an ADS mode, some change aiming behavior between Hip and ADS (aiming feels different between the modes). For
these you will have the ability to customize Hip Aim and Aim Down Sight independently when you edit your Config:
Aim Down Sight
Hip Aim
For games that don’t have an ADS mode, or they do but share the same aiming behavior between Hip and ADS, you only customize Aim.
If you still prefer to customize ADS separately, you have the choice to enable it:
