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.

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.
