Cymouse User’s Manual
Chapter
Introduction
Cymouse is a revolutionary 3-D game controller designed to provide
you with a new level of game control. Cymouse is a head-worn game
controller, so it uses the motion of your head to control games.
Because you can use Cymouse as a second set of hands, you don’t
give up any of your existing game controllers.
You can use Cymouse with any Windows-based game that supports a
mouse, keyboard or joystick. Cyprofiler—the software utility that
comes with Cymouse—works in conjunction with Cymouse to let you
make amazing moves you could have only imagined until now. With
Cyprofiler, you can perform one command or a combination of
commands—up to 50—with a single head movement!
How It Works
Cymouse tracks the motion and rotation of your head in a 3-D space
by sending and receiving an infrared signal to and from a Cymouse
sensor attached to your PC. By exchanging information with the
sensor, Cymouse knows the exact location of your head in a 3-D
space. In the Cymouse world, we call this the “direction”. The
direction of Cymouse changes when you move or tilt your head in
any direction.
Using Cyprofiler, you can set up commands that are generated when
your head moves in each of ten directions. These commands are the
same commands that you have set up in your game. For example, if
you press the W key to walk during a game, you can set up Cyprofiler
to press the W key when you look right. Therefore, when you look
right, you will walk during the game.
You can use Cymouse without setting up any commands. In this
case, the mouse cursor will simply move in the direction in which
you look.

Quickstart
Cymouse User’s Manual
Chapter
Quickstart
Cyprofiler by default is set to control the mouse cursor based on the
direction in which you look. For example, looking to your left will
cause the cursor to move to the left on the screen. The farther you
look in one direction, the faster the cursor will move.
1. With Cymouse placed on your head, open Cyprofiler from your
PC desktop. The main screen (shown in figure 3-1) will appear.
Figure 3-1. Cyprofiler Main Screen
2. Drag and drop the desired game icon from your desktop or from
your Start menu anywhere over the Cyprofiler window. (This is a
game icon you use to start the game.)
3. Click the Change button in the Pause Key frame to set a pause
key. See ‘Note’ below for more pause key information.

to pause Cymouse, and click OK.
Chapter
5. Click Start Game to launch the game and activate Cymouse.
During the game, you can use Cymouse for the look left, look right,
look up and look down directions. These are the default settings for
your Cymouse. To change and customize these settings, refer to
Chapter 6, Setting Up Game Profiles.
Note: If you have difficulty controlling the cursor at any time while
using Cyprofiler or while setting up your game, use the Pause key to
pause Cymouse until you play the game. See page 23 for details
about the Pause key.
Cyprofiler Overview
Cyprofiler is a software utility that enables you to fully customize the
behavior of Cymouse. Cyprofiler can perform commands that any
game can understand:
Mouse buttons clicks. Cyprofiler can generate five unique mouse
button clicks: left, middle, right, 4, and 5. (The side buttons on
Microsoft's Intellimouse, buttons 4 and 5 are available only when
Cymouse is used with Windows 2000 and later.) Although you do not
need to use a five-button mouse to be able to generate these
commands, you may need to set the commands in the game.
Mouse wheel scrolls. Cyprofiler can scroll the mouse wheel in either
direction up or down.
Keystrokes. Cyprofiler can generate any key on the keyboard, with
the exception of the Pause key.
For Cyprofiler to generate these commands within a game, you must
assign the command to a direction icon in the Cyprofiler command
menu screen and set the same command within the game. Once you
have set up a profile for a game, Cyprofiler lets you launch that game
and the corresponding Cymouse profile—with the single click of the
mouse.

Creating Game Profiles
Cymouse User’s Manual
Chapter
Creating Game Profiles
A game profile contains all the commands for each available
direction, as well as information about the game associated with the
profile. Profiles are stored on your hard drive using the .cpf
extension.
Several pre-defined profiles for popular PC games are provided on
the Cymouse CD ROM. You can use these profiles as provided,
customize the profiles for your own game play, or set up new
profiles. In fact, there is no limit to the number of profiles you can
create and store.
After you have created a new game profile, or to modify an existing
game profile, you will assign commands to the Cymouse direction
icons identified in the Cyprofiler main screen. Steps for assigning
commands are described in the next chapter.
Creating a New Profile
1. Click New to create a blank profile in which the Mode setting in
every command is set to No Output. (If you have not saved the
current profile, you will be prompted to do so before the settings
are reset for a new profile.)
Loading an Existing Profile
1. Click Load. (If you have not saved the current profile, you will be
prompted to do so before your load the profile.) The Open dialog box
will appear.
2. Click the profile (*.cpf) you wish to load from the list provided and
click Open. The name of the current profile will appear in the Current
Profile field.

Advanced Settings
Cyprofiler lets you make advanced settings to provide even more
control over Cymouse. These settings include:
Power Commands – Send up to 50 commands that will be executed
in sequence, once or in rapid fire mode, when Cymouse moves in the
assigned direction.
Submaps – Assign up to four maps for each game profile that you
can switch to, on the fly, during a game.
Power Commands
A Power Command or pattern fire command is a user-defined
sequence of commands that you can perform with a single head
movement. In Power Command mode Cyprofiler generates the
commands ONCE for each outward pass of the trigger point. In
Pattern Fire mode, the sequence of commands set up for that
direction will REPEAT continuously as long as Cymouse remains to
the outside of the trigger point. Returning to center discontinues
Pattern Fire.
To set up Power Commands, you will use the Power Command
Manager on the right of the Command Settings dialog box (shown in
figure 7-1).

Cymouse
Problem
Cause(s)
Solution(s)
You’ve successfully
installed the software
and plugged in the
hardware. When you
try to play a game,
Cymouse does
nothing.
The most likely cause is
that the game may not
natively support Cymouse.
Use Cyprofiler.
Your game may not be set
to use Cymouse.
Go through the control options
for your game and use Cymouse
to set the commands you want it
to perform by moving or turning
your head in the desired direction.
You’ve successfully
installed Cymouse;
however, it is difficult
to control.
The game’s settings for
Cymouse may be set
improperly.
In the control options for your
game, adjust basic settings such
as sensitivity and dead zone to
accommodate Cymouse.
These settings usually are
available in most games that
support game controllers.
While trying to play a
game using Cymouse,
neither it nor your
regular joystick
works.
If you are not using
Cyprofiler, the game may
be trying to use Cymouse
as the game controller that
provides input.
Use Cyprofiler, as it will not let
games use Cymouse as the
primary joystick when running.
Cymouse may be set to
Controller ID 1.
Open the Control Panel through
Cyprofiler and re-arrange the
Controller IDs so that Cymouse
is not set to ID-1.

Cymouse User’s Manual
Appendix
Mode and Command
Type Reference
Following is a detailed reference that provides the list of Command
Types available for each mode in the Command Settings screen.
Mouse Control Mode
There are no Command Types associated with this mode. After
selecting Mouse Control mode, you choose the direction in which
Cyprofiler should move the mouse cursor from the Command
pull-down menu. The four directions available are: left, right, up and
down.
Single Shot Mode
The following Command Types are available with Single Shot mode:
• Click a mouse button – simulates a single click of a mouse
button.
• Press a key – simulates a single press of a key.
• Click multiple mouse buttons – simulates clicks of up to five
different mouse buttons simultaneously.
• Press multiple keys – simulates up to four keys being pressed
simultaneously.
• Scroll the mouse wheel – simulates a single tick of the mouse
wheel, either up or down.
Whenever Cyprofiler simulates keystrokes or mouse button clicks in
Single Shot mode, the key or button is pressed and then released
immediately. In the case of mouse wheel scrolling, the wheel is
simply ticked once, as it is a stateless feature of the mouse.
Cyprofiler simulates a Single Shot command only when your position
passes the Trigger Point set in the command.

Mode and Command Type Reference
Cymouse User’s Manual
Shoot and Hold Mode
Positional Rapid Fire Mode
The following Command Types are available with Shoot and Hold
mode:
Positional Rapid Fire mode differs in only one way from Rapid Fire
mode: in this mode the interval between repetitions is derived from
the distance between your position and the Trigger Point. Your
position must be beyond the Trigger Point for Cyprofiler to begin
commands.
• Click a mouse button – simulates a single click of a mouse
button.
• Press a key – simulates a single press of a key.
• Click multiple mouse buttons – simulates clicks of up to five
different mouse buttons simultaneously.
The following Command Types are available with Toggle Shot Mode:
• Press multiple keys – simulates up to four keys being pressed
simultaneously.
• Click a mouse button – toggles the state of a single mouse
button.
Whenever Cyprofiler sets the state of a mouse button or key in Shoot
and Hold mode, it does so in the following manner:
• Press a key – toggles the state of a single key.
• If your position is beyond the direction’s Trigger Point, the state is
set to resemble the key or button being held down.
• If your position is not beyond the Trigger Point, the state is set to
resemble the key or button being up in its un-pressed state.
Rapid Fire Mode
• Click multiple mouse buttons – toggles the states of up to five
mouse buttons simultaneously.
• Press multiple keys – toggles the states of up to four keys.
In Toggle Shot mode, the state(s) of the key(s) or mouse button(s)
are toggled whenever your position passes the Trigger Point setting
in the command.
The following Command Types are available with Rapid Fire mode:
Power Command Mode
• Click a mouse button – simulates a repeated clicks of a mouse
button.
The following Command Types are available with Power Command
mode:
• Press a key – simulates repeated presses of a key.
• Click a mouse button – simulates a single click of a mouse
button.
• Click multiple mouse buttons – simulates repeated clicks of up
to five different mouse buttons simultaneously.
44
Toggle Shot Mode
• Press a key – simulates a single press of a key.
• Press multiple keys – simulates repeated presses of up to four
different keys.
• Click multiple mouse buttons – simulates the clicks of up to five
different mouse buttons simultaneously.
• Scroll the mouse wheel – simulates constant scrolling of the
mouse wheel in either direction.
• Press multiple keys – simulates the presses of up to four
different keys simultaneously.
In Rapid Fire mode, Cyprofiler repeats a Single Shot mode command
over and over. The rate at which it repeats the command is adjustable
using the Slowdown slider (which becomes available when this mode
is selected). The Slowdown setting determines the interval of time in
milliseconds between each repetition.
• Scroll the mouse wheel – simulates scrolling of the mouse in
either direction. When used, the mouse wheel is ticked once.
• Spacer – creates a delay in the playback of the Power Command.
The length of the delay is adjustable via the Duration slider (which
becomes available in this mode). There are no Command Types
associated with the Spacer Command Type.

Cymouse User’s Manual
Pattern Fire Mode
Pattern Fire mode has the same Command Types as Power
Command mode. The only difference between the two modes is in
how the commands are performed. A Power Command is performed
once while a Pattern Fire command is repeated as long as your
position is beyond the Trigger Point.
Appendix
Adjusting the
Headset
Map Switch Mode
The following Command Types are available with Map Switch mode:
• Use 2 Submaps – switches between two of the four Submaps.
• Use 3 Submaps – cycles through three of the four Submaps.
• Use 4 Submaps – cycles through all four Submaps.
Map Switch mode is different from all other modes. When used, it
changes the active Submap whenever your position passes the
Trigger Point set in the command. Each Submap can hold a set of
commands (one for each direction). The active Submap determines
the set of commands that are currently being performed by Cyprofiler
at any point in time. Changing this causes Cyprofiler to start using
the commands stored in the new active Submap.
The Cymouse headset can be adjusted for a more comfortable fit. To
increase the size of the headset, simply stretch the headset comb
over the Cymouse retail box (front side forward as shown in figure
4-1), or other apparatus of similar size and shape, but not larger than
9” in width, length or height. First stretch the headset overnight to a
maximum of 9” and try for comfort. Repeat this process as needed,
without exceeding the 9” maximum increase in size.
Note that whenever you use Map Switch mode, the direction you
choose will not be available to perform commands and can only be
accessed when Submap 1 is selected on the main interface.
