User Manual of Cross Hair
Press any button on keyboard or mouse or other peripherals, it will be recognized automatically.
● For some peripherals are too complicated to be used on PC, it will be very convenient for users
if buttons on these peripherals can be recognized by Cross Hair directly.
And the second way are the most adaptable one.
● Do not plug any peripheral into USB port 1 of Cross Hair for mapping.
If you would like to cancel a mapping, just click mouse right button on it ,

● Choose keys from keyboard or mouse or joystick to replace left and right stick.
● As default, right stick will also be mapped to the mouse movement, mapping keys here
for right stick will not block the mapping to mouse movement.
● Strength percentage for each stick can also be set here.
These two strength percentage settings are only for using buttons on keyboard to act as
left or right sticks and using left or right stick in Macro.
Once the hot key is pressed, settings here will be effective. And when the hot key is
released, the strength of stick will be restored to 100%, the default value.
Strength percentage will have no effect on both the mouse movement and the third-part
controller which is connected to USB port 2 or 3.

Touchpad Button: A suitable key from keyboard or mouse or other devices can be
selected to replace the touchpad button, by default, it’s Tab key from keyboard.
This key is effective once the configuration is activated.
Please remember we need to choose a hotkey to activate the simulation, and choose a
suitable mode for how the simulation will be activated.
These settings are dedicated for the original controller, the one plugged into USB
port 1.
● Deadzone: The deadzone here is used to adjust the sensitivity of left and right stick on
the original controller, the one plugged into USB port 1. Leave it as default, if you have no
trouble with the sticks on controller. A smaller value means more sensitivity, but that
sometimes may also causes trouble for controlling. By default, the value is 16.
http//www.reasnow.com PAGE 14 / 38
User Manual of Cross Hair
These settings are dedicated for the third-party controller, the one plugged into
USB port 2 or 3.
Such as: Logitech G13, Sony Move Navigation Controller, Logitech Attack3 and other
controllers which are used to replace the original one.
● Deadzone: The dead-zone here is used to adjust the sensitivity of left and right stick on
the third-party controller (Joystick), the one plugged into USB port 2 or 3. Leave it as
default, if you have no trouble with that controller. A smaller value means more sensitivity,
but that sometimes may also causes trouble for controlling. By default, the value is 16.
● Vibration Strength: A bigger value means stronger vibration, a smaller value means
weaker vibration. By default, the value is 10. If it is set to 0, there will be no vibration on the
third-party controller (Joystick).
● Vibration on: As default, we will pass vibration to the third-party controller on USB port
2 or 3, but you have other choice from the pull-down list.
Third Party: Vibration will be passed to the third-party controller on USB port 2 or 3
Original: Vibration will be passed to the Original Controller on USB port 1
None: Vibration will be forbidden on all controllers.
Typically in FPS games, you will have two modes of shooting: HIP and ADS (Aim Down
Sight), so you have to set them separately. The bigger the value, the faster the mouse
movement. You can change them to a suitable value, according to your mouse and game.
http//www.reasnow.com PAGE 15 / 38
User Manual of Cross Hair
Normally, Cross Hair will activate HIP sensitivity, but when the ADS mode is enabled in
game by a corresponding key. The ADS sensitivity will be activated too. This is designed
to improve the control of some weapons with optics.
Please remember to set mouse’s DPI and game’s LOOK sensitivity to maximum first. And
after these two procedures are done, if the mouse is too slow, you need to set HIP and
ADS sensitivity to a bigger value. If the mouse is too fast, you need to set HIP and ADS
sensitivity to a smaller value.
HIP YX Ratio: It is the ratio of mouse’s speeds in Y and X direction in HIP state.
ADS YX Ratio: It is the ratio of mouse’s speeds in Y and X direction in ADS state.
HIP MIN Speed: while moving the mouse, you will gain a MIN speed in HIP state.
ADS MIN Speed: while moving the mouse, you will gain a MIN speed in ADS state.
ADS delay: You may feel some delay after you press the ADS button(generally right
button of mouse), after that the game will really turn into ADS mode. But your settings for
ADS sensitivity will be effective instantly once you pressed the ADS button. So we add this
delay to keep ADS sensitivity synchronized with the game.
Map left stick X axis to mouse: This feature is used to control helicopter in game, if
http//www.reasnow.com PAGE 16 / 38
User Manual of Cross Hair
enabled, Roll and Yaw will be mapped to mouse left and right movement at the same time.
It’s very useful for helicopter aiming and control.
And the original mapping of left stick to buttons is effective at the same time.
Turning Assistant: When this function is enabled, Cross Hair will hold the direction of the
last mouse movement, reticle on screen will keep moving in this direction even if your
mouse is stopped.
And we need to choose a hotkey to activate this function, and choose a suitable mode for
how it will be activated.
Relationship between Mouse Speed and Cursor Speed on screen in HIP and ADS modes
can be changed separately by these two curves.
Generally speaking, we will provide straight line in most default configs, they can provide
1:1 mouse movement and cursor movement on screen while using a mouse for aiming,
but you might need a different curve in some games or in some conditions.
For example, if you need faster turning speed, you can change the curve like this:
http//www.reasnow.com PAGE 17 / 38
User Manual of Cross Hair
This curve means it will keep 1:1 nature while mouse speed is low and that makes aiming
easy. And at the same time, when mouse speed is fast, the cursor speed will be boosted.
That will help you to get a faster turning speed, but you will lost 1:1 control for cursor.

● Deadzone: A suitable value will eliminate the deadzone of wheel, where you will find no
response in game and provide a good controlling during the racing.
● Angle: Choose a correct working angle according to your wheel’s specification. A bigger
value means the steering wheel is less sensitive in game , a smaller value means the
steering wheel is more sensitive in game.
Here you can customize flight stick mappings according to game’s settings.
On the left side, they are 4 major axes on flight stick,
on the right side, please select correct mapping for them according to game’s layout.

This right-arrow button is used to switch between primary and secondary mapping.
In this way, you can have two options for one key on the original controller.
As default, the secondary mapping is used for a third-party controller. You can change that
to whatever you like.
http//www.reasnow.com PAGE 20 / 38

Once enabled, you can activate ADS sensitivity by clicking the corresponding key, such as
the right key of mouse. And clicking again on the same key will deactivate ADS sensitivity.
You do not need to hold the key all the while.
We provide 2 kinds of key mapping mode in CONFIG MODE: 1:1 mode and N:1 mode
By default, the key mapping mode in CONFIG MODE is 1:1 mode. If you enable this
option, it will be N:1 mode.
1:1 mode: It means that one button on the original controller can be mapped into one key
from keyboard or mouse or the third-party controller.
N:1 mode: It means that multiple buttons on the original controller can be mapped into
one key from keyboard or mouse or the third-party controller. It can provide flexibility, but it
will also cause some confusion. For if you are mapping a button on controller to a key on
keyboard in CONFIG MODE in N:1 mode, it will not clear the original mapping of this key,
the original mapping will be kept, and the new mapping will be add to the key. Once this
key is pressed, it will release all the buttons’ functions that are mapped to it at the same
time.
This option will not take effect when you are using Cross Hair Manager to change the
keymappings.
These 2 options are used only for Custom Game, do not change them in preset games.
Aim Down Sight: ADS function may be invoked by different key on controller, due to
different game and console. If you are using a Custom Game configuration, please select
correct key of ADS.
http//www.reasnow.com PAGE 22 / 38
User Manual of Cross Hair
Deadzone Type: If you are using a Custom Game configuration, please select correct
type of Deadzone according to the game.
This option will change the behavior of your configuration, after it was activated by hotkey.
There are three choices: Standard, Temporary Hold, and Temporary Toggle.
Once the key is clicked, it will swap the functions of L/R stick. Clicking it again will restore
the original state.

These keys can be an alternative way to activate a configuration instead of the hotkey.
Beside using the original controller, here is the second way to enter and exit Config Mode,
and change HIP/ADS.
http//www.reasnow.com PAGE 26 / 38
User Manual of Cross Hair
Any time in PLAY MODE, just press SHARE+OPTIONS ( PS4 platform ) keys on your
controller to enter CONFIG MODE and the LOGO’s light will be turned off in this mode.
In CONFIG MODE, you can use the controller to change HIP and ADS sensitivity as well
as key mapping.
After changing settings to you liking, just press the combination keys again, and you will
exit the CONFIG MODE, and return to PLAY MODE. All the changes will be saved in the
activated configuration during the exiting. If you do not exit the CONFIG MODE, all
changes will be lost.

Once the key on the controller is pressed, LOGO will show a stable blue light, and a
corresponding key on the keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc should be pressed. After
selecting your key, Cross Hair will keep flashing blue again. Then a new key mapping can
be continued.
Just like the general key’s mapping, if you are planning to use keys on keyboard or mouse
to replace stick on controller, push the stick to its maximum on one direction (such as Up
direction), LOGO will show a stable blue light, and then wait for the corresponding key on
the keyboard, mouse, etc. After selecting your key, Cross Hair will keep flashing blue
again. Then you can continue to map a new direction of this stick.
After mapping all the keys, you can press SHARE+OPTIONS(PS4 platform)keys on your
controller to exit the CONFIG MODE, and end the mapping procedure.
All the changes will be saved in the activated configuration during the exiting. If you do not
exit the CONFIG MODE, all changes will be lost.
Mapping keys in CONFIG MODE is recommended, as you can get instant response
in-game, and all the keys can be mapped. On the contrary, in PC MODE, some special
keys of your mouse, keyboard or joystick may not be detected due to OS's limitations.

1 Mouse DPI(CPI)
Make sure the mouse you are using is configured at its highest DPI, or you should connect
it to a PC, and use some software from the producer to change the DPI to maximum.
Remember a higher DPI can give you better experience in game.
http//www.reasnow.com PAGE 30 / 38
User Manual of Cross Hair
Other mice have no on-board memory, but their DPI can be adjusted, so you need to set
their DPI to maximum every time powered on.
The bigger the value, the faster the mouse movement. You can change them to a suitable
value, according to your mouse and game.

The controller connected to USB 1 should always be the original one shipped with
the console.
● Connect all devices to Cross Hair first, and then connect Cross Hair to game
console. That is the procedure we recommend. Change your connection only when
Cross Hair is powered off.
● Wireless controller of XBOX 360 can not be used as wired controller with a USB
cable connected on it. For the USB port on this controller can only be used for
charging, no data lines in this port. While all other wireless controllers can be used
as wired ones with a USB cable connected, such as controllers of PS4, PS3, XBOX
ONE.
● After Cross Hair is powered on, it will turn the controller on automatically. Do not
turn the controller off when LOGO of Cross Hair is breathing.

Restore Factory Configuration: Restore configuration back to factory default. All your
own changes will be lost.
Hold down the hidden button with a toothpick or the tip of a pen, and then plug Cross Hair
into your PC. When the LOGO is green, you can release the button. A stable green LOGO
means your Cross Hair is in REPAIR MODE. In this mode, it can be repaired. The
procedure is the same as firmware upgrade and restore factory configuration.
Please try both upgrading firmware and restoring factory configuration, so you will get a
completely clean system.
During upgrading or restoring, do not shake the USB cable, unplug it, or turn off
your PC. These behaviors will damage your Cross Hair.
