User Manual

A Profile is a custom setup for improved gameplay – consisting of a set of commands that are
pre-assigned to the buttons or axes of your controller. There are over two hundred pre-written
Profiles available on the Product Companion Disk that accompanies this device or on the
Saitek Website – www.saitek.com. (Please check the website for new or improved Profiles,
which are being added regularly).
How Do I Program My Controller?
After getting to know your controller, you can start creating your own personal Profiles with the
Saitek Smart Technology programming software (SST). This software has virtually unlimited
programming capabilities and allows you to customize the controller to your exact gaming
needs.
The Profile Editor allows you to program the buttons on your controller to perform different
actions within your games – this is especially useful if the game you are using does not have
its own screen that allows reconfiguring of your buttons.
Getting Started
1. Double-click on the Saitek Smart Technology icon the install left on your desktop.
2. In the Profile Editor, choose the control to which you wish to assign a keyboard
command. You do this by left-clicking on the control’s cell in the control list on the right of
the screen.
3. With the cursor flashing, type in the key commands and then click on the green tick mark
when complete.
4. Repeat this procedure for all the buttons you would like to program and then click File,
Save at the top of the Profile Editor window.
5. Give the profile a name (it is recommended you name it after the game for which the
profile is intended) and then click
Save
.
6. To enable the profile either click the
Profile Now
icon at the top of the Profile Editor (it
looks like a black and yellow crosshair) or right-click on the controller icon in your taskbar
and select the name of the profile from the pop-up list of options.
7. You will notice that when a profile is loaded that the controller icon in your taskbar has a
green square behind it, indicating that a profile is currently loaded. If you wish to unload a
profile simply right-click on the controller icon and click
Clear Profile
from the pop-up list
of options.
If you require more detailed assistance with using the SST Programming Software, click
on
Help
at the top of the Profile Editor and then
