GETTING STARTED
Note: Please do not connect your Cyborg 3D Force until asked to by the installation procedure.
Before connecting the Cyborg 3D Force to your PC, you need to connect it to your mains supply using the AC/DC adapter (supplied). This attaches via the front of the unit next to the USB cable.
Note: When you have finished playing with your Cyborg 3D, we recommend you switch off the power adapter at the mains and unplug it.
Saitek Smart Technology Software
Saitek Smart Technology software is the software that Saitek supplies for our high-end game controllers. The Smart Technology software comprises the product drivers for these Saitek controllers and the optional programming software. By keeping the two separate, the Smart Technology software offers two types of installation to suit the individual gamer’s needs, which means even more gamers can enjoy these quality Saitek products.
The Quick Install loads the product drivers only (all that is needed to use the controller) and is suitable for the new or Typical User. This install is fast and simple and will have the gamer up and running in no time at all.
The Full Install loads the product drivers and the Saitek Smart Technology programming software and is suitable for the Advanced User. The programming software delivers a powerful set of features for the ultimate configuration in the game. Although it is recommended for the seasoned gamer, it can be installed at any time. This gives the typical user a chance to get to know the controller before taking gaming to the next level.
