How to Test your Controller

•You can do this at any time by Clicking on Start, then Settings and selecting Control Panel in Windows (XP users may only need to click on Start and then Control Panel)

•Look for an icon called either Game Controllers or Gaming Options (XP users may have to click Printers and Other Hardware first).

•Open the Game Controllers/Gaming Options window then the name of your controller should show up.

•Click on Properties and this will bring up the test screen.

•Moving your controller and pressing the buttons should result in a response in this screen; if there is a response you know that the controller is functioning correctly.

What is a Profile

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.
