A Profile is a custom setup for improved gameplay - consisting of a set of commands that are preassigned to the buttons or axes of your controller. Pre-written Profiles are 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 added regularly).

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.

4. Repeat this procedure for all the buttons you would like to program and then click File, Save at the top of the Profile Editor window.

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 blue Profile Now icon at the top of the Profile Editor 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 Profile from the pop-up list of options.
