What is a Profile?
A Profile is 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.
