However, the Saitek Cyborg FPS feature allows you to use your gamepad in an FPS game at the touch of a button. Pressing the FPS button automatically sets up your pad's controls for the following commands found in most current FPS genre games. You must insert the installation disc and install both product drivers and Saitek Smart Technology (SST) Programming software for the FPS button to work. Please note that the FPS feature is not available when using the Cyborg in X Mode. 7 5 Bottom trigger Top button FPS button 8 6 Bottom trigger Top button Button 1 Button 2 Button 3 Button 4 Button 10 Button 9 Top left button 5 Top right button 6 Bottom left trigger 7 Bottom right trigger 8 Left mini joystick 12 button press Right mini joystick 13 button press D-Pad Use (E) Jump (Space) Flashlight (F) Reload (R) Buy (B) Drop Weapon (G) Right Mouse Button Left Mouse Button Crouch (C) Scores/Objectives (Tab) (K) Middle Mouse Button 2 1 10 3 4 (=) Next Item (]) (-) Previous Item ([) Left mini joystick left-right (X Axis) Left mini joystick up-down (Y Axis) Right mini joystick up-down (Z Axis) Right mini joystick left-right (Rz Axis) Strafe Right (D) Strafe Left (A) Forwards (W) Backwards (S) Mouse D-Pad 9 Mouse Left mini stick Right mini stick 6 7 Configuring your Cyborg Rumble Pad When you have finished installing your Gamepad drivers the Properties window right will open. You can test your pad's buttons and rumble force effects. As well as testing the pads controls you can also choose to swap the left Stick and D-pad controls which swaps the digital and analog controls of the left stick and D-pad. The Deadzones tab allows you to set the area of movement of your pad's controls where no commands are issued. For instance, increasing the central deadzone of a stick means you have to move the stick further before it produces a movement in-game. The Force tab of the Properties window controls the level of rumble force you feel when the pad responds to an in-game movement or effect. Moving the slider to the right increases force and to the left decreases force. Precision Mode allows you to select a button(s) or stick(s) on your pad which, when activated, will decrease the sensitivity of the Cyborg's left or right sticks so that, for example, moving a stick across its full range of deflection will correspond to half the normal movement in the game. This can be extremely useful when trying to aim a very sensitive rifle with a telescopic sight over long ranges. You can even configure the pad so that a button will change the sensitivity of the individual axes of each stick. For example, you may want the left to right movement of a stick to be more precise (ie, the same amount of stick travel equals less movement in-game) but up and down movement to remain as the default. In the example above right, we have configured the pad so that pressing the A button makes the left stick X axis twice as precise (50%) and pressing the B button makes the left stick Y axis twice as precise (50%). 9 8 The Analog Buttons tab of the Properties window allows you to switch the mode of your pad from Classic to X Mode. In the default Classic mode, the two shoulder buttons act as buttons and the triggers act as buttons or axes - better suited for playing traditional style sports games such as the EA Sports series. When you are in Classic Mode you can set the trigger position that presses the corresponding button. If you check "Enable XBOX360 button mapping mode", you switch the pad to X mode. In X mode the two shoulder buttons continue to act as buttons but the two triggers now function only as analog axes, allowing you to control a range of movements just by squeezing the trigger. This mode is more suited to modern driving and First Person Shooter games. Important information Driver updates From time to time there may be updates to the driver and programming software for this product. You can check for the latest software updates by visiting the Saitek website (www.saitek.com) and clicking on Downloads. A drop down menu will appear. Select Drivers and Software. Enabling your controller in the game Most games support game controllers, but typically default to the mouse and keyboard until you go into the option menu within the game. The first time you start a game after installing your controller, go to the options menu within the main menu of the game and make sure your controller is set up correctly. If you are having trouble working out how to do this, or if you're unsure whether the game itself supports game controllers, then please refer to the user manual of that game for more help. Programming your controller with Saitek Smart Technology software Introducing Saitek Smart Technology programming software Saitek Smart Technology Programming Software (SST) is the software Saitek supplies to configure your Saitek controller for enhanced functionality. SST delivers a powerful set of features, allowing you to program your device with the ultimate configuration for total interaction. Despite a level of sophistication previously unseen in the market, and because of the Saitek Smart Technology inside, the software remains simple and intuitive to use. For a complete guide on how to program your Saitek controller, visit the Saitek website at www.saitek.com or look at the help tab on your programming software menu. Features of Smart Technology programming software: · Quick and easy setup in any game · Personalize the controller settings for your favorite games · Configure your controller with an on-screen 3D model and interface · Multiple setup option for each controller - ideal if a controller is used by several people and you need more than one profile per device · Program special moves with sophisticated timing features 11 Reversing the position of d-pad and left stick You can reverse the position of your d-pad and left analog stick to suit your playing style. To reverse the controls, press the button on the back of your Cyborg to unlock the module. Now pull the module out of the pad casing, rotate it and push it back into the pad casing until it clicks into place. Please note: When you reverse the d-pad and left analog stick, the driver software will automatically reverse the control axes so that pressing or pushing upwards on the pad or stick still means movement forwards (if this is how you have configured your pad ingame) and vice versa. 10 · · Special game setups available as 'Profiles' from the Saitek website and on the Smart Technology CD Download the latest version of Saitek Smart Technology software from the Saitek website 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 12 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.
