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).

virtually unlimited programming capabilities and allows you to customize the controller
