Minimum System Requirements
To operate the Saitek Cyborg 3D Stick you will need a Pentium class computer with 32Mb of RAM with a minimum of Windows® 95 installed (Windows® 98 for USB operation). Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x and DirectX 7.0a or above are required to get the most from your games and controller. These are available on the Saitek Product Companion Disk that came with this product.
Games Compatibility
Your Saitek Cyborg 3D Stick is specifically designed to work in Microsoft Windows 95/98. However, your controller will also work with some DOS-based games.
Getting Started
Dual Compatibility for USB and Game Port Connection
Important Notice: Connect your controller using only ONE of the connectors.
The Saitek Cyborg 3D Stick comes with a choice of two connectors. You can either connect with the conventional game port connector or, if your computer has the capability, connect via the USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector. It is strongly recommended that if you have USB capability on your computer, you should use that connector to attach this device.
The USB connector has many benefits over the older game port connector and is rapidly becoming the standard interface connection for quality computers.
Important Notice: Connect your controller via only ONE of the above methods.
Installing your Saitek Cyborg 3D Stick
Important Notice: You must install the software from the Saitek Product Companion Disc before you connect your game controller to the PC.

Game Profiler Wizard
The Game Profiler Wizard allows you to download game profiles for your favorite games from either the Saitek Product Companion CD or the Saitek Website. These are profiles written by our in-house gamers to help you get the most from you new Saitek controller in as little time as possible. To run the Game Controller Wizard, follow these simple instructions:
1After you have completed testing your Saitek Cyborg 3D Stick, you will then be asked to run the Game Profiler Wizard, click on Yes to proceed.
2At the Welcome dialog box you will be prompted to Import the Game Profiles for your controller via either the Internet or the CD. Check the box next to CD and click on Continue. The software will scan your computer for those games you already have loaded and will load the corresponding profiles.
3When the Game Profiler Wizard has completed loading the profiles, click on Next and then Finish. Your Saitek Cyborg 3D Stick is now ready for gameplay.
Important Notice: If you connect the Cyborg Stick before installing the Saitek Gaming Extensions software, the Saitek Cyborg Stick will not operate correctly. To solve this problem, run the NukeUSB utility (found on the Saitek Product Companion Disc CD), remove the Cyborg Stick, restart the machine and then continue the installation in the correct order.
Note: To avoid potential problems and conflicts, it is recommended that you remove any other game controllers from the Game Controllers dialog box. Do this by selecting the previously installed controller in Game Controllers and clicking on Remove.
