PS4 Pro + XIM APEX + 1 year of Playstation Plus = $645.
GTX 1060 Gaming PC (~30% faster and 10x better than PS4 Pro) = $750.
The good:
What XIM APEX does is operate as a "man in the middle" for USB connected console controllers, pretending to be your controller in a way that the console doesn't know is happening. My limited experience with it so far is that it works pretty well, but I did have some weird issues not registering simultaneous key-presses on my USB connected keyboard. I'm not yet sure if it's an issue with XIM, the keyboard itself, or what the console will accept. I'm going to do some testing.
The XIM APEX smartphone configuration UI, especially in advanced mode, is very powerful. It lets you map mouse/keyboard to controller actions, and you can make several different mode pages per game. These can either be operated by the in-game keybinds, or custom toggle/hold mode keys. For example, when I hold my in-game (ping) key to bring up the APEX Legends ping spin-menu, my XIM APEX config automatically switches to a different mode, which has a custom mouse-response curve, to make operating the spin menu feel "natural" on the mouse, as well as bind the mouse buttons to operate menu confirm/cancel. It's pretty amazing that this just works seamlessly, whenever I hold my ping key.
Their advanced configuration UI is much more confusing than it could be, and means they can't ship "default" configs which use all these fancy features. For example, when I have a game-button related config, such as making the mouse work differently when I hold the ping hotkey, XIM doesn't know the two are connected. One is a button mapping, the other is just a custom mode page.. If XIM knew that the custom mode page was related to the button mapping, then it could ship with that custom page already setup in the default config, and whatever I changed the button mapping to would automatically activate that mode page. This isn't a huge deal, it just makes the out-of-the-box experience more complicated than it could be.
The bad:
The big problem is, why are we using XIM APEX to begin with? Using mouse and keyboard requires a desk, which begs to ask, why are you not just putting this money into a PC gaming setup instead?
$400 for a PS4 Pro, $125 for a XIM APEX, and unless you're only playing F2P games like Fortnite and APEX Legends, you get to pay $120 a year in idiotic console online multiplayer fees on top of that... and for what? To get super-pixelated 1080p on a device that can't run a real web browser, can't run PC games, can't alt-tab during the game, and where the translated mouse feels like a sluggish mess compared to the PC version.
The PS4 Pro GPU is said to be a bit slower than a GTX 1060, with a CPU that is underpowered compared to a PC eqivalent. Two minutes of searching turned up a $750 GTX 1060 gaming PC at best buy, and I bet with a bit more searching I could do better. This PC will have at least 30% better gaming performance, have none of the weird XIM APEX mouse-to-controller translation issues, and be massively more usable than a console.
So who is this consumer that wants XIM APEX?
A kid who's going to borrow the family console into their bedroom and try to "get more serious" with mouse keyboard? A streamer being paid to promote console titles and wants every advantage? Someone who really wants to play console exclusive titles, but refuses to pick up a controller?
When I first obtained it, it was a bit of a pain to get working. You have to download an app and turn on Bluetooth. This is how you switch profiles. I also discovered that you can set special hot keys for certain games. Which I thought was awesome for switching between profiles (one for menu one for the game) or for playing games with multiple control schemes (like the Halo Collection)
It took a bit of time to figure out how to get it working. There's a bit of a learning curve. When you do get it working you'll find that it works as well as you would expect. It comes very close to playing on a PC, but it's not exact. Because you're still playing a console game with its console game limitations.
That being said, the mouse view is actually perfect to me. I had zero issues with using my mouse and aiming. It felt at home for me. I was actually playing and not struggling to keep up.
I use this for the CoD games specifically. I used to play Modern Warfare 2 and 3 nearly every second of every day for a few years on PC and using this for the Xbox version of MW2 was almost perfect.
This thing is amazing. I believe I got a defective product so I'll be sending it back for a replacement. The wait almost seems unbearable, I honestly can't wait to play again. This thing is amazing
PROS:
least amount of lag/latency for a m/kb adaptor that I have experienced. Pre loaded games with one click optimization via the XIM APP. Sleek and simple to setup. Instructional videos and forums to help you along your APEX journey. 3 port USB 2.0 hub provided. Amazing 5 star product.
CONS:
Only certain mouse and keyboards are accepted by the APEX, but most everyone works. To elaborate...I tried multiple mice and keyboards including WIRELESS DONGLE KEYBOARDS AND MICE, only one keyboard didn't work and it was the Tecware Phantom. Tried LG, COUGAR, CORSAIR, HAVIT, ZEALOTES, ROSEWILL, RAZOR & THERMALTAKE combinations and all were read. Your XBOX/PS4 Controller must remain plugged in the entire time you are using APEX.
Some phones will NOT work properly via the app due to lack of support from your phone software. Most of the time, if you try to connect continuously over and over you will get a connection by the 3rd to 10th try. I tried many phones from SAMSUNG, ASUS, LG & MOTOROLA (DID NOT TRY IPHONE) the only one to give me issues was the ASUS ZenFone line.
Conclusion...
This little device is worth every penny, just do your research prior to purchase, as you should with any product, the XIM forums, Reddit, & YouTube are great sources of information and compatability lists.
(!!! I am a normal PC Tech enthusiast/consumer. This review is strictly based on my experience upon purchasing the product. I have not been given/paid anything to write this. I just believe that this product is really that good for anyone looking.)

Of me geld terug of een nieuwe sturen!!!
Il faut connecter sur le port 1 du hub de 3 usb envoyé avec le xim apex en usb une souris (privilégier une souris qui figure parmi la liste des souris compatible facilement trouvable sur XIM APEX OFFICIAL HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY LIST. En l'occurrence j'ai mis une souris sans fil pictek.
Connecter le port 2 un clavier en usb, j'ai mis un clavier à une main K50.
Connecter sur le port 3 une manette officielle sans fil pour xbox one, mais avec un cable usb 2.0
Ensuite connecter le hub au xim apex et enfin le xim apex à la console déjà allumée.
Ensuite un arc en ciel s'affiche, s'il se terme quelques dixième de seconde en vert c'est que ça a fonctionné, si c'est rouge c'est qu'il y'a un problème soit avec les cables soit avec des produits non compatibles.
Il faut ensuite télécharger l'application xim apex sur android dans mon cas, et la connecter au xim en pressant sur le bouton du xim, là il détectera les 3 objets connectés et il suffira d'aller taper le nom de son jeu pour charger les configuration.
