Question

I want to use my SGC2909 in First Person Shooters games.. I want my SGC2909 to perform similarly to my Playstation2 controller. How can I configure the SGC2909 to do this?

Answer

Most First Person Shooter games (FPS) are designed to only support the mouse and keyboard. Most developers con- sider the mouse and keyboard to provide the best control, so controller support is usually very basic or not included.

Currently, our Profile Editor will not allow you to setup the SGC2909 so it emulates the Playstation2 control setup in FPS game. Currently, only mouse movement can be assigned to the SGC2909 analog sticks.You can con- figure the D-pad to the WASD keys and the right analog stick to mouse movement.This will allow you to use the SGC2909 d-pad to control character movement and the right analog stick to control the camera movement.
