settings:
Getting Started

Controller
-
Xbox360: Use on the Xbox360 requires a wired Microsoft Xbox360 controller. Unfortunately, a wireless controller with a charging kit will not work. This is because the charging kit can transmit power, but not data.
-
PS4: Use on the PS4 requires a fully charged Sony DualShock 4controller.
-
Xbox One &Series X/S: Use on the Xbox One &Series X/S requires Microsoft Xbox One & Series X/S controller.
-
Connect the mouse and keyboard to the two USB ports on the front of the converter.The interface on the side is intended exclusively for connecting the controller.However,itdoes not matter which of the two front interfaces you use to connect the mouse or keyboard.
-
Now, disconnect the other controllers from your console. For wireless controllers, you have to log out of the console or switch it off.
-
Connect the controller (not required for the PS3)
- A) For use with the PS4 &Xbox One &Series X/S Take the included Micro-USB cable and connect it to the USB port on the side of the Speedshot. Connect the other end of the Micro-USB cable to your switched-off Sony DualShock 4or Xbox One & Series X/S controller.
- B) For use with Xbox 360
Connect your wired Microsoft Xbox360 controller straight to the USB port on the side of the converter.
-
Now, connect the Speedshot’sconnection cable straight to your console using an available USB port (never aUSB hub)
-
Next, press the home button in the middle of the Speedshot converter to start up the Speedshot. Pay attention to the Player LEDs (1-4) on the converter. The Speedshot always connects to the next available channel. If you want to play as Player 1, switch the other controllers off and repeat the procedure so that the Player 1LED lights up.
-
The LEDs “M” (for mouse) and “K” (for keyboard) on the converter let you see if the mouse and keyboard have been correctly recognized. If the LEDs arenot lit up as in the image below,try connecting the converter again or,if possible, try to connect a different keyboard or mouse. If you have problems, you can either consult Section VI of the operating instructions or contact our Customer Support team (contact details in Section VII).
-
Configuration Once the mouse is ready for use, the resolution and speed can often be further optimized. A large number of different mouse chipsets and control engines for games means that thereisnosingle optimal settings.
You can set your own personalized, optimal resolution/speed by adjusting the following 4 parameters:- Mouse speed in the Options menu of the individual game (see the operating instructions for the game)
- DPI switch on the mouse (available as a feature on most mouse models)
- Speed settings on the Speedshot (details can be found in the operating instructions under “IV. Item 2“)
- Dead zone settings on the Speedshot (details can be found in the operating instructions under “IV.Item 3“)
- Y-axis distortion: via the included software(see software operating instructions)
Due to the number of different game engines on consoles, the Speedshot converter does not provide the exact same control as aGaming PC, however by adjusting it optimally and using good equipment (see the included list of compatible equipment), its possible to aim and look around much more precisely and quickly than with a controller. Hama Gaming is not liable for any unfair competitive advantages that result when used in Online mode.

- Connect your headset straight to the round 3.5 mm connection to the right of the Speedshot converter.
For use on Xbox One &Series X/S

General assignment
(key- & optimization settings)
Key programming (for experienced users):
Select an available configuration profile:
The function keys (F1-F12) allow you to save various key configuration
profiles. The factory setting of the keyboard is automatically set to F1,
which is the only profile that is pre-assigned and can not be changed. To
assign the keys individually, select one of the 11 configuration profiles
available (F2-F12) Up to 11 different configuration profiles can be saved at
any given time.
To switch to one of these profiles, type “Alt” and the respective function
key together:
Changing key configuration
(only possible for programmable profiles 2-12)
- Press and hold the “Esc” key until you get to Section 2.4 in these instructions
- Tap the key whose standard layout should be reassigned lightly and briefly(the LED “P” on the converter should light up)
- Info:
- No matter how much you reprogram, during the programming, all functions in all channels are always in the factory setting (see illustration of the factory setting).
- The assignment of the functions works on all standard keys of the keyboard(but not macro, multimedia, F-keys, or ESC) and on standard buttons of the mouse (left, right, middle, and the “Back” and “Forward” buttons, which are mostly found on side of the mouse).
- 2.3 Press the desired target key
- 2.4 Now release the “Esc” key. The key is now re-assigned.
Mouse settings
Inverting the mouse movement on the Y-axis
Adjusting mouse speed
The higher the speed is set on the keyboard, the quicker the converter needs
to emulate the movements. Due to the fact that the movement can be slightly
distorted the higher the level is set, we recommend that you first raise the
mouse speed as high as it can go before the speed is ‘adapted’ even higher.
Setting the dead-zone
(for experienced users)
The dead zone determines the speed at which a movement command is registered
in the game. All mouse movements that happen under the dead zone are not
recognized in the game. If you would like to optimize the precision of your
mouse, you can choose from the following options:
The factory-setting speed level is set to 5.
Assigning mouse movement
The factory setting assigns the mouse movement to the right analog stick. If
you want to use the left analog stick to control the mouse, you can switch the
modes using the following key combination:
Additional functions
Rapid-fire function
The rapid-fire function simulates a quick, repeated keystroke while a key is
being held (for example, to rapidly fire a handgun or to jump quickly to dodge
something) Use the following shortcut keys to activate this function:
Auto-fire function
The auto-fire function simulates a quick, repeated keystroke without having to
press the key. Once auto-fire is activated using the key combination, the
quick repetition of the keystroke will be simulated until the respective key
combination deactivates the function.
Constant-fire function
The Constant-fire function simulates a constant pressing of a button, even
though you only tip on the button shortly. For instance, your game character
can walk through the entire game world, by pressing only one button shortly.
Add-On for circular menus
In many console games (e.g. Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemption, Deus Ex) the
gaming menus work on base of circular menus. Using these circular menus with a
keyboard and mouse is often a tricky issue. With the pre-installed Add-On, it
is possible though, to start control stick rotation in circular menus by only
keeping one button pressed.
If the games circular menu is controlled with the left stick:
If the games circular menu is controlled with the right stick:
