−	*Read the [[Quick_Start\|Quick Start page]] to learn how to download a pre-made configuration, and how to install the libusbk driver (needed for consoles that require authentication).
−
−	~~<!--T:56-->~~
−	*Select the config you made/downloaded from the drop down menu, click the Start button and a couple of windows should pop up to start capturing your mouse and keyboard input!
−	~~If there is a "No controller detected." error message when you start GIMX, double check you wiring, and try to invert TX and RX in case it's still not working.~~

−	Now if you're in the menus of your console and press the WASD or arrow keys on your keyboard, you should be able to navigate through the menus, meaning you've succeeded! If not, or if something went wrong elsewhere, go back and make sure you followed every step to the letter and try again, then let us know if nothing you try works.
