-[[Mouse_Calibration|First do a mouse calibration]]. The sensitivity parameter is nothing more than a multiplier: input motion is multiplied so as to scale to the output motion range. If you are still not getting expected results then play with config sensitivity.   For more information please [[Axis_translation_parameters|check Axis translation parameters]]

 You need to play with acceleration parameter. You should set it to value when it will "cancel" game engine acceleration for pad input. For more information please [[Axis_translation_parameters|check Axis translation parameters]]

+==<span id="23">My vertical aim is faster than horizontal aim (or the other way)==<!--T:23-->
 You need to play with x/y ratio. The x/y ratio allows to change the vertical sensitivity independently from the horizontal sensitivity i.e. it determines how much faster your vertical (Y axis) aim is in relation to your horizontal (X axis) aim. For more information please [[Axis_translation_parameters|check Axis translation parameters]]

 There's no need to do that since GIMX gets raw events from the mouse.

 * Check the wires between the USB to UART adapter (e.g. CP2102) and the AVR USB board (e.g. Teensy 2.0). Make sure there is no bad contact. Loose contact (not soldered and not using jumper wires) is not acceptable and results in inconsistent behavior, such as failure at startup or disconnection after a variable time.
