Whereas a gaming mouse with more than 1600 DPI doesn't really make a difference on a computer, it's not the case with GIMX.

Hardware Prerequisites
PC
- Windows 7 or later OR
- Ubuntu-based GNU/Linux distribution (Ubuntu 16.04 recommended) OR
- Raspberry Pi mini-pc
Mouse
If you want to play console FPS games with a mouse, forget about using a mouse with anything less than 2000DPI and 250Hz. A gaming mouse with 5000+ DPI and running at 500Hz is highly recommended.
Whereas a gaming mouse with more than 1600 DPI doesn't really make a difference on a computer, it's not the case with GIMX. GIMX can decelerate mouse movements so as to counteract the in-game acceleration. A high DPI mouse gives a better linearity (i.e. smoother movements) in this specific case.
Connector
USB adapter:
- This is an adapter that you can either build yourself or buy from the GIMX shop:
- Notes:
- Forget about using any other USB to USB cable (like file transfer cables, or direct cables), they are not suited to this use.
