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).

capabilities and allows you to customize the controller to your exact gaming needs.
