If you have any further questions after watching it, check below for more details, and links to articles on further topics. 

Initial Setup

The X1 Control Panel is designed to require as little setup as possible. So, once it launches, any supported games installed on your PC will be detected automatically, and pre-configured profiles will be loaded and displayed along the top of the window. Simply click on their icons to see what each of their buttons are configured to do. You can then jump straight into any one of the detected games and its profile will be automatically activated while you're playing.


Notes
If you have one of the supported games installed, but it is not detected automatically. You can add its profile manually via the Manage Profiles button at the top right of the window.

      Main Pane

      In-between the profiles panel and image of your mouse is the hints area. This will display dynamic hints depending on which screen you are on, and where your cursor is placed. Once you've learned everything they have to offer you can disable these hints with the X icon. They can also be enable/disabled via the info icon on the side panel.



      The main pane shows an overview of your currently selected profile including button mappings and general settings like DPI and RGB. From here you can either click directly on the mouse image to select a button, or click on the action labels surrounding the mouse to modify that button mapping or setting.
