Keyboard and mouse settings can be further setup with the settings menu, and this is where you should start first to be honest.


Testing the ATEN Phantom S was a multi-day process. I initially had short gaming sessions in between my daily life, but I was able to sit down this past weekend and game for hours with the Phantom S, my trusted ROG Claymore, and Strix Evolve mouse. I came away with several impression with this device, but first, let's talk about quality.


For your $99, ATEN has put together a solid platform, slightly upgraded from the past UC410 with a full metal exterior and better internal components. This should go a long way in terms of induced lag from converting keyboard and mouse control through your controller.


On to testing, as mentioned, I did have several sessions with the Phantom S playing Battlefield 1, Just Cause 3, and Far Cry 4, and for the most part, I always came away frustrated. While this device is plug and play and will work with no software setup, it does benefit you to take the time to set up all your game profiles in the software. Default controls are awkward at best and really intensify the gaming experience when you are searching for what key does what mid-session.


The software included from ATEN is quite good, and you really should take advantage of it by setting everything up for the best experience. However, I did find that there were no preconfigured game profiles for this unit included or downloadable. Searching the internet, I found the IOGear Keymander which has the exact software with much better support for profiles, albeit for older games.
