XIM Community, more than a year ago we introduced XIM NEXUS which is our premiere gyro motion controller that is built from the ground up to bring the best of this unique style of aiming to the console shooters you play. It is our first XIM to target the convenience and comfort of living room play while providing mouse-like speed and accuracy of aim. XIM NEXUS was a departure from our typical mouse and keyboard product. As such, it enabled us to explore new methods for high fidelity input processing and gave us a platform to experiment in areas that we have never been.
We knew we wanted to build a new input adapter, but, it couldn't be just a revision of our last mouse and keyboard adapter: XIM APEX. Rather, it needed to take the advancements in XIM NEXUS and really innovate on what was possible as to not limit ourselves. We did just that and I'm so proud of what we've built. I am excited to share with all of you our new ultimate input adapter: XIM MATRIX!
XIM MATRIX is designed to unlock your true potential by not restricting you to the input experience limitations built into the shooters you play. We believe that you should be able game with the combination of input devices that suits you best and with whomever you choose. This is true for mouse and keyboard gamers, controller (standard and gyro) gamers, and gamers with disabilities.
At it's core, XIM MATRIX uses the same Smart Translator precision input technology that we have been refining over the last decade that has made XIM the quality standard in this space. Based on computer vision and machine learning, Smart Translators understand everything about a game's complex and unique thumbstick-based aiming system. This allows us to produce the level of aim quality that is synonymous with XIM products on higher precision input devices (such as mice and gyro). We are constantly updating our large database of games support.
We've taken things a lot further with the addition of our new Smart Actions Macro Engine. XIM MATRIX is our first input adapter to feature it. Smart Action sequences are designed to be very simple to make and use with their minimal set of action and timing primitives. What is unique about our system is its deep integration with Smart Translators. This gives you total control over the reticle in any way you choose. As a result, XIM MATRIX is the first input device ever to enable natural anti-recoil without negatively impacting your aim. The sky is the limit with Smart Actions and we look forward to seeing what the community builds!
XIM MATRIX supports any input device combination of mouse, keyboard, and controller. Some typical gaming usage scenarios are:
There is a lot more to talk about that I will be releasing over time. I want to thank antithesis, He4DHuNt3r, LITHE, and Od1n, our Alpha Testers, for all their time and feedback on XIM MATRIX. Make sure to check out Od1n's XIM Central channel that he runs for additional XIM-related news and content.
Bitwelder and myself (OBsIV) are working hard to get XIM MATRIX shipped as fast as we can. We are on track for a 2023 Q1 release. Thank you for your continued support!
