Native vs emulation

Native

• The game reads the mouse and keyboard itself.
• No setup.
• Raw input with no conversion.
• Only in games that support mouse and keyboard, which most console games do not.
• No aim assist, as the game sees PC-style input.
• No scripts, custom mapping or tuning.

Emulation

• The Zen sits in between and turns the mouse and keyboard into controller input.
• Any game that takes a controller works.
• Aim assist still applies, because the game sees a controller.
• Scripts, mods, custom key mapping, and sensitivity, smoothing and deadzone tuning all work.
• Not raw: every movement becomes stick and button input.
• Needs setup first: connect it (mk-setup), then load or build a profile and tune it (mk-settings).
