TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMMING 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.
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

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.
