Marius Board Setup
If your controller is overclocked, please go to our overclocking page for instructions on resetting your controller.
You will go through STEPS 13 - 18 and set the rate to DEFAULT.
To begin, press the button below to go to the recalibration page for the Marius Boards.
PC Connection
Connect your cable's USB-A end into the back of your PC.
Controller Connection
Hold down the PS button on your controller while you connect the USB-C end of your cable into the controller.
This will put the controller into setup mode and you will know you did it correctly if the LED color gradually changes between red, white, and blue.
Click Connect
Click CONNECT CONTROLLER on the site's interface.
Establish Connection
Select your controller and click Connect within the menu.
Get Started
Once your controller is fully connected correctly and the setup lights are showing, click I'M READY - START CALIBRATION to begin the process.
Stick Calibration
Follow the instructions on your screen by gently rotating your joysticks in any direction until the progress bar fully fills.
No need to click anything as the screen will change after this step is completed.
Trigger Calibration - 1
Next is the trigger calibration. Simply follow the instructions on the screen as it will first tell you to click the left trigger quickly first.
You will need to fully press the triggers in and release them naturally.
Do this 5 times.
NOTE: If you have digital triggers then skip this calibration step.
Move on to Step 9
Trigger Calibration - 2
For this step you will need to fully press the triggers and release them slowly.
If done correctly enough, the counter will go down, but if done too fast, it will not change, hinting that it was not recorded correctly.
Repeat steps 6 and 7 for your right trigger next.
Setting Up Your Controller
After calibrations are done, it will take you to the main page of the controller setup.
In this menu you can see where your joysticks rest and modify your deadzones, manually center your joysticks, or adjust your joystick curves.
Trigger Configurations
Here you can adjust when your triggers are actually fully pressed with a visual of the threshold.
NOTE:
If you have Battle Beaver's Smart Triggers, use the analog option, not digital.
LED Customization
This is as straightforward as it sounds. Customize the LED on your controller to fit your aesthetic.
Remapping Buttons
You may have up to 6 remappable rear buttons installed on your controller. Here is where you would configure them.
In order to see which button you're changing, press them on your controller to see the option highlighted on your screen.
Polling Rates
Last but not least this will be where you will adjust your polling rate. Slide it to 8000Hz for the maximum performance speed.
Apply Settings
Once you are happy with the settings you've adjusted, click SAVE TO CONTROLLER to finalize your changes.
Wait For the Configuration
Simply wait on this next screen until all the checks are complete. You should see Configuration applied successfully on the last line as a indicator that everything is complete.
Have fun!

What are MIDAS Mechs (HE)?
What are MIDAS Mechs (HE)?
MIDAS Mechs (HE) are the custom 5 pin Hall Effect thumbstick for the PS4 JDM-5X by Marius Heier.
MIDAS stands for Magnetic Integrated Digital Array Sensors, and are only compatible with the PS4 JDM-5X board. Unfortunately the 5 pin connectors are not compatible with 1st Party boards from Sony or Microsoft.
These unique Hall Effect thumbsticks overcome the issue you see in traditional 3 pin HE sticks other 3rd party controllers have by utilizing a fully circular magnet sensor for wider signal coverage, and an additional 2 pins of signal transference for improved accuracy and stability.
