gimx-fpsconfig is a config editor that helps to use a keyboard and a mouse in FPS games.<br />
This means it only allows to:
* bind mouse and keyboard buttons to buttons
* bind mouse and keyboard buttons to the left stick
* bind the mouse axes to the right stick and edit the translation parameters
* use 2 profiles (first = hip fire, second = aiming down the sights, second profile trigger is the mouse right button, with switch back enabled)

===Start===

===Set the mouse DPI===
In case the config is built from scratch (menu 'File>New'), the mouse DPI has to be set.<br />
The value is used by the calibration tests that are run by the [[Mouse_Calibration|Mouse Calibration]] tool.<br />

===Convert the mouse sensitivity===
The "Convert sensitivity" GUI button allows to adjust the mouse sensitivity according to source/destination DPI values.<br />
It is useful to convert a config that was built for a mouse that runs at a different DPI setting.<br />
