So since this will be a longer video, I will use an artificial voice today. And because we have a lot to cover, let’s directly jump into the action. This will be one of the few tutorials where you should not skip a single second. Otherwise you may just end up with problems in the game, or specific features may not work.
What I will show you today are the following topics. First, I will talk about the necessary preparation steps to play Rainbow Six. These include the Matrix firmware you must use, the best ingame settings, and the Smart Translator you should use. Do not skip these topics, it may otherwise result in problems with Rainbow Six. After that, I will show you my Rainbow Six configuration. At last, I will address my SAB settings, and give you an outlook into an anti recoil setup.

So let’s start with the correct firmware. In order to use the new SAB 3.0 improvements, you must update your xim Matrix to the latest beta firmware. In the video description I have added the correct Matrix firmware. Please make sure to follow the 6 installation steps to update your Matrix. In the future it will be possible to update your Matrix without a PC, or Mac. But for now that isn’t possible. Also if you have problems with the update process, or something is not clear, just click on the instructional video link. This will open a video that will guide you through the whole installation process. Also, this time you must not update your xim manager. You can continue to use the manager from the App Store.

Once you have updated your xim firmware, let’s continue with the ingame settings. The required in-game settings for Rainbow Six can be found by pressing the wrench button in your xim configuration. Press it and you will be forwarded to the xim website. Here you can find the ingame settings that you must use. To improve your privacy in the game, we will use the new privacy settings. As you can see, you have the following two options. You can either use the normal ingame settings listed above, or the new privacy settings. We will use the privacy settings. So let’s click on the privacy settings guide. This is a website which will tell you what to do. My plan is to use a horizontal sensitivity of 90, and a vertical one of 70. With these values I will still have a really high turnspeed in the game. The website will tell me now what scale value I must use in my xim configuration. In my case that is 129. We will take care of that later, when we are editing our xim configuration.
So what I must do now, is to go into the ingame settings, and adjust all values until they match the ones that you can see right now. The only difference is, that for the horizontal sensitivity I will use 90, and for vertical 70. And for all scope sensitivities I will use 75. You can of course copy my privacy settings, or go with your own values. If you use your own ones, please make sure to remember your scale value from the xim website.

Once you have adjusted your in-game settings, let’s take care of the smart translator. For Rainbow Six, I strongly recommend to use the latest smart translator. It is currently the only one, that is using the new Smart Translator version 3.0. The new version provides a much better mouse movement accuracy, especially for slower movements. And it also has direct integration with the new SAB 3.0, which is beneficial for your Rainbow Six experience. In order to get the latest Smart Translator, just go into the global settings in your Matrix manager. Click on the force download button, and confirm your choice in the next screen. That will download the latest database for game configurations, which also includes the new Smart Translators. Once the download has finished, you must create a new configuration. Only that way, you will use the latest Smart Translator. So click on new configuration, and search for Rainbow Six Siege. Once you have found it, you can select the correct platform at the bottom. My tutorial will work for all platforms. For demonstration purposes, I will select the PlayStation 5. In the next screen I must select the type of configuration I want to create. If you use a normal keyboard, pick the option at the top. This is for digital keyboards. And if you use an analog device for moving, such as a Sony Navigation controller, or a Wooting keyboard, then pick the second option from the top. This will soon be reworked, so expect some changes in the future. Once these are available, you will be able to always pick the top option. Since I am using a Wooting keyboard, which uses analog keys, I will pick the mouse and gamepad option. This one allows you to use a mouse, a controller and a keyboard at the same time.

Next let’s adjust the rainbow six configuration. Start by clicking on the edit button in the top left corner. For the configuration color I will choose green. And for the hotkey I will use the F1 key. That allows me to load my Rainbow Six configuration by pressing the F1 key on my keyboard. And as a confirmation, my xim will then show a green LED light. To use your hotkey, you must be in the navigation mode of your Matrix, so please keep that in mind. At the bottom, you must now select your DPI value. I am using 10,800, but this configuration will work with any DPI value. Matrix will provide better mouse movements when using more DPI. So if possible, use a DPI value that is close to mine. Personally, I have not noticed any improvements beyond 12,000 DPI, so more is not really needed. Also, some mousepads do not work well with high DPI. Therefore, you can see my DPI value as some sort of sweet spot.

Next let’s swipe one time to the right, to enter the HIP configuration.
My preferred HIP sensitivity is 70. If you are unsure what sensitivity you should use, then you can watch my sensitivity tutorial to find your most optimal mouse sensitivity. You can find a link to the video in the video description.
As for the Smoothing, I strongly recommend to use the Light preset. It provides far better micro movements than the off preset, plus it greatly helps with micro aiming, and other potential issues in Rainbow Six.
Once you have adjusted your aim smoothing, expand the advanced settings at the bottom. There, you must now change your scale value. If you are using the same privacy ingame settings as me, then set this value to 129. And if you have chosen to use a different setup, then you must use your own value.

Next, let’s cover the ADS configuration, so swipe one more time to the right.
My preferred ADS Sensitivity is 40. You can of course use your own sensitivity here. Anything else must not be adjusted here, so let’s continue with the button bindings. For that, swipe one more time to the right. 

Here you can either copy the button bindings that you can see right now, or you go with your own ones. I recommend to open the settings of your game, so you can see the controller layout. That way you will know which button is assigned to which action in the game.
To show you how the binding process works, I will now bind two actions which I haven’t bound yet. First I want to create a share button to record gameplay. So I will click on the plus button at the bottom, and then press the key, or button I want to bind it to. In my case, I want to bind the share button to the delete key. When I press it, xim Matrix will highlight the button. So I must not go through the entire list, to find this key. Once I pick the delete key, xim Matrix will ask me what action I want to bind it to. I will pick the share button. After that, you can leave this menu, and the binding will be displayed at the bottom. Next let’s bind a walking key. I want to bind it to the left shift key. So I will click the plus button again, and then my shift key on the keyboard. When I confirm the choice, my xim Matrix will load the binding menu. I must now open the Smart Action Manager at the bottom. There, I must select the left stick sensitivity modification. It is part of the advanced options at the bottom, so expand these settings. Select it, and move the slider at the top to 30%. Whenever I now hold down my left shift key, I will move at a 30% speed in the game. You can of course use any other percentage as well.
Let’s close this menu now. You can of course also edit an existing binding. For example, my reload action is currently bound to R. By clicking on the R key icon on the left side, I can swap the assigned key. I will change it to the E key now. To do that, i will press E on my keyboard now, and then confirm my choice. After that, the adjustment is done. As you can see, I have now changed the binding from R, to E.
At last i want to make you aware of an issue, with the scroll wheel of certain mice. If your scrolling binding doesn't work, then this means that the scrolling input of your mouse is too fast for the console. It is basically so fast that the console cannot register it, because it is just too short. To solve that, change the activation type of your scrolling bindings. At the top of my button bindings i have bound the scroll up button to the d-pad. What i must do now, is to edit this binding. When the editor is open, i can change the activation type at the very top. I must change it from held, to press. Once that is done, i can exit this menu. This will ensure that the scrolling input is long enough, so that every console game can register it.

Next, let’s take care of the SAB values.
You can find those by scrolling to the bottom of your binding list. Expand the Action Variance options, and you can find the 3 SAB values. Matrix uses the new SAB 3.0 algorithm, which is far better than any SAB implementation of other xim devices. If you use a digital keyboard, then I recommend to start with a value of 60 for Aim, and 70 for Move. Trigger SAB is not really necessary, so I will leave it at 0. You can use it if you want to, but I will not do that. Now before we go to the next topic, you will have to experiment a bit with these SAB values. It is not possible to copy the SAB settings of a different person, and automatically achieve success with it. The reason is that every person plays with a different setup. This can be your sensitivity, your mouse DPI, your mouse sensor, your keyboard, or your in-game settings, everything plays a role when dialing in your SAB values. If you for example have a really bad mouse, that produces a lot of imperceivable micro stutter, then it doesn't matter how much SAB you are using, you will just not be able to have a good time in Rainbow Six. The same goes for using extremely high sensitivities, that result in a lot of pixelskipping in the game. See it like the following: If you want your dog to look like a cat, then the dog must already look a little bit like a cat, before you apply make-up, and costumes. So if you cannot get a nice experience in Rainbow Six, regardless of the SAB values you are using, then you should really reconsider your overall configuration approach, or hardware. Especially the hardware can make a big difference. This is why the creator of the xim is recommending to use analog devices for moving, such as a Sony Navigation controller, or a Wooting keyboard.
Since I am using a Wooting keyboard, which is one of these analog devices, I can set my Move SAB to 0. If you also use an analog device, then you can do the same. With analog devices you will not need to use Move SAB. With my settings of 60, 0, and 0, i have played between 100 to 150 ranked games, without a single issue. But again, you may have to use different settings because your setup is probably not identical to mine.

At last I want to show you how to setup a Smart Action for Ash, which will remove her recoil. And in a few days I will also upload a video in which I will show the perfect recoil values for most other operators. So if you regularly play operators like Twitch, or the SMG11, then wait for the next video, and copy its recoil Smart Actions.
Also, the approach I will show now is based on my Nexus recoil videos. The procedure to setup a Smart Action for Matrix and Nexus are the same. So if you want to setup your own anti recoil, then just watch one of my two anti recoil videos. One is for more advanced recoil, and the other one for weapons with a fairly easy weapon recoil. At last, you can also watch my weapon tracking video if you want to use different recoil patterns for your primary and secondary weapon.
But let’s start with the Smart Action setup. I will of course split the recoil into two Smart Actions, and use different recoil blocks in each of them. That makes the whole setup a lot easier. You can simply follow all steps that you can see now. Furthermore, I will also tie the two smart actions to the aim down sights mode, so they are not active while I shoot from the HIP. I will also remove the variance to avoid inconsistencies. In addition to that, if you have decided to use trigger SAB, then you will have to adjust the Smart Action a little bit. This Smart Action setup will only work if you have copied my entire configuration, which includes the ingame settings, and everything else.
Xbox users may have to change the magnitude percentages, since the sensitivity on Xbox is slightly different.
My recommendation for Rainbow Six would be to use a game configuration for each operator. That way you can not only handle different scope sensitivities, but you can also use dedicated anti recoil setups for each operator. By using the hotkey option, you can switch between each configuration with a single button press. Because most operators use the same recoil pattern, you will not need to use a lot of configurations. Personally I use around 6 configurations, with which I can cover almost any operator in the game. In my next video upload, in which I will showcase the anti recoil setups for most operators, I will mention which operators use the same recoil patterns.

Before I show you the result in the game, you can now save your progress in the top left, and exit this configuration. As always, you can find the copy and paste code for this whole configuration in the video description. 
Here you can see how the Smart Action looks in the game. It is basically a perfect result. Again, my next video upload will show smart actions for a lot more operators. So subscribe to the channel, to not miss that video.
