Your Arcade Guns

™ light guns come to you already configured with the most relevant 

default settings which include button assignments (listed above), newest available 
firmware, and unique device IDs for each light gun! These default settings are strongly 
recommended since the majority of PC and emulator gun games use the trigger as a 
left mouse button and reload as a right mouse button. However, if you want to change 
the configuration, please be our guest! It is important to know 

if you do change the guns’ 

settings, make sure each gun has a different device ID assigned to it when you are 
finished. All of these settings can be changed by using the Ultimarc AimTrak software. 

We wanted the best and simplest light guns possible, which is why our light guns come 
with two buttons and a trigger. We believe this is the best configuration due to the fact 
that most PC and arcade gun games only use a single trigger and in some cases one 
additional button or pedal. Our light guns have more than enough buttons to play your 
favorite shooter games while keeping it uncomplicated just like in the arcade! 

Keeping the default settings listed above makes it easy to configure individual shooter 
games. Obviously we like to use the trigger for firing our main weapon in a game. Most 
games support off screen reload which means when you point the gun away from the 
screen and pull the trigger it will reload the gun for you! We like to use the small button 
as a secondary weapon such as a rocket launcher or in some games we use it for 
ducking/hiding or reloading the gun (a few games don’t support off screen reload). 
Every game has slightly different requirements but with these light guns you can handle 
them all! Finally we use the large button as a start button in most games which can be 
used for starting a game, joining a game after you die or skipping cinematic in some 
cases. It’s really up to you how you want to configure your games to work with these 
guns, but we just thought you might want to know how we like to configure ours! 

Positioning the IR Sensor Bar 

 

The IR sensor bar (light bar) should be centered on top of your monitor or television. For 
the best results place it as close to the top of the picture on the screen as possible. The 
light bar WILL NOT WORK if it is placed on the bottom or side of the monitor or TV. 
Double sided tape can be used to keep the light bar in place on top of your monitor or 
TV. Then plug the 

light bar’s USB cable into an empty USB port on your computer.   

Note: We now offer different types of light bars. Our regular cased light bar is 
recommended for screen sizes up to 40 inches diagonal; while our new super light bars 
work on larger screen sizes. The super light bars are great for large screen TVs and 
projectors.
