EXO Settings Reference

This is the master list of every setting in the ZeroStick app, grouped by where it lives. Each entry gives the label you see in the app, its range, its default and what it does. For explanations and advice, follow the links to each topic's own page.

"Stored" in the Default column means the value comes from the config or from the EXO, not from a fixed factory value. Settings in groups marked config are saved per config. Settings marked app apply everywhere.
