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. 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).
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.
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.
3. With the cursor flashing, type in the key commands and then click on the green tick mark
when complete.
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.
If you require more detailed assistance with using the SST Programming Software, click on Help at
the top of the Profile Editor and then Manual.
