Settings > Mouse

The Mouse tab allows you to configure the mouse cursor/scroll sensitivity and acceleration.

Settings > Keyboard

The Keyboard tab allows you to configure the keyboard repeat delay and repeat rate. When the option Use the default system settings is checked, Joyxoff simulates these values based on current keyboard settings in Windows.

Remarks: This configuration does not interfere with the existing physical keyboard settings.

Settings > Advanced

Settings > Advanced

The Advanced tab is where you configure the left and right sticks deadzone and controller behaviors.

• Delay rate (in milliseconds) to turn off or show confirmation window when the binding button is held
  This value is relative to the function Turn off Controller (Xbox 360) that pops up a window to confirm if you want to turn off the controller.
• Disable confirmation window to turn off the controller
  When this option is checked, the Delay Rate value is ignored.
• Vibrate the controller when bindings are enabled/disable
  When this option is checked, the controller will vibrate when you toggle between Enable and Disable bindings function.
• Turn off all controllers on Windows shutdown
  When this option is checked, Joyxoff will turn off all connected controllers on Windows shutdown/sleep/restart.
  Remarks: exclusive for Xbox 360 controllers.

Remarks: It is very important to configure the stick deadzone, otherwise you may experience some erratic mouse behavior (e.g. mouse moving on its own).

Settings > About

Settings > About / Update

The About tab is where you can check for update and download the latest version.

Remarks: It is highly recommended that you update Joyxoff using this module to avoid any trickery or unwanted results. Joyxoff uses SHA-256 hashing for data integrity validation.
