Title: Mech and Mouse for Consoles?
Post by: Incredigasmic on Thu, 22 October 2015, 15:59:33

I'm an avid Destiny player and use a Xim4 to use mouse and keyboard to play. I've found MX Blacks work best for me, personally. Anyone else play Destiny or any other consoles with mechs?

I've never heard of anyone doing that, that's a pretty neat idea. The best way to enjoy console exclusive games, I'm sure!

Does it translate well?  I remember the XIM1 just not translating well from mouse to gamepad.

It does! It translates much better than the 1 ever did.

Admittingly, I feel like I'm playing against teams with severe handicaps XD. The mouse makes aiming so much easier and snappier that it does feel like cheating :p

Haha thats what I feel as well though.  I have a group of guys that all game together.  We mainly play PC, however recently one of them bought the destiny PS4 bundle.  Which caused like 6 of us to go buy the same bundle.  I brought this up the other day and one guy has already purchased it.  I am going to check it out, but I have a feeling I will end up getting one.  My wallet hates you.  ;D

Tell your wallet that we can hug it out once you're wrecking in PvP ;)

I recently picked up a Xim4 for my PS4 just to play destiny.  I definitely find it easier to get precision kills and improved my effectiveness in pvp.  Highly recommend it for anyone wanting mouse and keyboard for console systems.

You should work for XIM.  3 of the guys (including myself) have picked it up with more waiting on reviews haha.  I got mine yesterday and have been tweaking the settings.  Post up your settings for mouse dpi and sensitivity.  Trying to get a good sense without it blinking red from moving too fast has been a struggle lol.

My Pure is my dedicated PS3/4 keyboard.
At work I played some Destiny on the Xbone using workaround devices to see if the game could detect the illegal hardware, because it's apparently a bannable offense to use them.

What kind of... workaround devices.  The xim has been confirmed as non bannable.

Hardware modifications that violate the MS EUA for online play with the Xbox One.
