XFPS FAQs – Questions & Answers
It has been brought to our attention that some people have questions about the XFPS adapters from XCM, so we have created this article to clear up some of the confusion.
1. Talking In-Game – In order to talk in game while using any of the XFPS adapters you will need a wireless headset. This goes for both the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 / PS3. The microphone attached to the controller will not work for the Xbox 360, so please make a note of this before purchasing the adapter.
2. Wired Controller Required (XFPS 3.0 Sniper Plus & XFPS Speed) – This pertains to the Xbox 360 line of adapters. But in order to use the adapter you will need a dedicated wired controller. Not a wireless controller with plug & charge kit, this will not work as the controller still connects to the console wirelessly but uses the USB port for charging the unit only. Any of the dedicated wired controllers will work, wether they are new or old or 3rd party.
3. Which adapter do i use if i don’t want to connect a PC / Laptop to my console? You will need to use either the XFPS 3.0 Sniper Plus for the Xbox 360 or the XFPS Rateup for the Playstation 3 / PS3. These do NOT require a PC be present to function.
4. Which adapter do i use if i DO want my PC connected to my console? You will need to use one of the newer 4.0 models. Either the XFPS 4.0 Speed for Xbox 360 or the XFPS 4.0 Force for the Playstation 3 / PS3.
5. Which keyboard and mouse work best? The adapters are compatible with most keyboard and mice, just be sure to know that when using the device that does not connect to your PC that drivers cannot be loaded for the keyboard and mouse to work, so you must use devices that conform to the standards widely used on PCs to recognize a keyboard and mouse. PS/2 and USB Keyboards and Mice work just fine. Also high resolution mice seem to work better than lower resolution mice.
6. Can i use these adapters while playing online? As of right now yes you can, but that doesn’t mean it will always be allowed. Please use them online at your own risk and please do not cheat while playing online.
7. Does using the adapter void my warrantee? No it will not.

Introducing the XFPS line of Keyboard and Mouse adapters for the Xbox 360 and/or Playstation 3 /PS3. Heres is a quick breakdown of their functions and how to choose the one thats right for you.
- XCM XFPS 3.0 Sniper Plus for Xbox 360 - This unit is for the Xbox 360 console and is the easiest one to get setup and use quickly. It plugs directly into the Xbox 360 console via USB port and you plug your keyboard and mouse into the ps/2 or USB ports. You do also need to use a dedicated wired controller for this model as the console requires authentication from the controller to be recognized by the as an accessory before it can be used. This unit allows you to control the sensitivity via the dials on the side of the unit and the keys can be easily remapped without too much fuss. The switch’s on the top of the unit control Rapid Fire and can be turn on or off per key or button however you want them.
- XCM XFPS 4.0 Speed for Xbox 360 - This unit operate much like the unit above except that it utilizes a PC connected to your console via the included USB cable. Now instead of having your keyboard and mouse connected to your Xbox 360 it will be instead connected and controlled by your PC and the included software that you run on your PC. The software also allows for easy remapping of the keys and or buttons. The unit has better accuracy and control compared to the XFPS 3.0 Sniper Plus above. Once again a dedicated wired controller is required.
- XFPS Rateup for Playstation 3 / PS3 - This unit operated just like the XFPS 3.0 Sniper Plus but is made for the Playstation 3 / PS3 console. It does not require a dedicated wired controller as the Playstation 3 does not require the same authorization the Xbox 360 does.
- XCM XFPS 4.0 Force for Playstation 3 / PS3 - This unit works exactly the same way the XFPS 4.0 Speed does but is obviously for the Playstation 3 / PS3 console.
By using one of the XFPS adapters listed above you will get back that familar feeling of being in control when playing with your friends or online. We however do not endorse using the Rapid Fire feature online unless you really want to make your friends mad
