What is a Profile
AProfileis 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, Saveat the top of the
Profile Editorwindow.
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 Nowicon 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 Profilefrom the pop-up list of options.
