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.
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
• Program special moves with sophisticated timing features
• 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. 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.
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.
