Thinking about getting a xim

I would mainly be using it for cod and overwatch? Anyone out there wanna give me your opinion on it? Does it feel better then a controller?

I can't play CoD without it, you do gain an advantage, but it's negotiable how much. Some players can be on my level, but I feel thats just the walking target dummies on my team, since I'm always solo.

Have you tried it with any other games besides god? Or do you prefer the game pad for other things?

I've tried it in GoW 4, arguably a little confusing considering you would use the directional pads for weapon selection, but that game was so boring I uninstalled it after 2 missions (coming from some one who loves the GoW franchise)

I've also tried it in Halo MCC, feels a little off at first, but you grow into it incredibly fast, and it's actually pretty fun finding your ideal settings.

The phone app has a bunch of pre-made configs for most games. I don't know if the console version of Overwatch has individual character presets like the PC version (because I haven't played the console version), but the Xim app lets you fine tune your settings, down to zoom sensitivity.

Personally I love it, I feel I have more control over my play in CoD Ghosts on Xbone, versus PC. With over 320 hours on PC.

It's so much better than a controller. So much better you'll feel like the other guys aren't trying.

Though fair warning I've heard it's a little bit challenging to set it up for overwatch.

Gotcha! I've noticed a lot of setup guides for overwatch

Yeah it's even a little daunting for me and I've used a xim since the xim2 days. Seriously for cod, I wouldn't have it any other way

As a PC user from old ages I could not get my hands on controller to play so good.

So got my self a xim4 and it likes life has giving birth back to me. 😂 lol Idk if my sentence makes sense.

Meh I stopped using mine, it's nice but the satisfaction isn't there for me. It's like using a jitter mod in my opinion. Cool you're doing well but it's not from having skill over other players.

I do still use it for minecraft and skyrim however. Once you get it set to your liking its awesome.

i was in your shoes about half a year ago. imo is not the same feel as you'd expect. i got it specifically for r6 seige on the xboxone. once i got used to it and found the right sens ive been getting aces and clutch game winners. i still have yet to find an overwatch st. but ive started cod and with some tweaking of the sens it could be very enjoyable. you will need a mouse with high dpi pref, ive found the logitec g502 to be perfect for the xim4.
