Software

The software installation is made up of two parts. The first part installs the Saitek Control Panel while the second part installs drivers and Profile Editor. Windows finds four devices which need to need to be installed manually, by selecting the automatic install feature of Windows.

Installation Process

Look at that cool shades smiley at the end of the installation - quite funny :cool:

Profile Editor & Saitek Control Panel

The Profile Editor itself is quite straightforward. Each button pressed lights up in blue in the 3D view. Each button can be assigned to a single buttons or button combinations (macros). This makes for some great scripts which can then be used in games. It seems you can store an unlimited number of keypressed, I stopped counting at 260. Unfortunately adding delays is not possible. The profiles can be saved and then loaded via a Systray icon which is placed there after installation. That icon also allows the user to open up the Saitek Control Panel.


The Control Panel does just that. It controls all the functions of the Pro Gamer Command Unit. Each button pressed lights up, while the small joystick also triggers the crosshair to move in the selected direction. The window is quite similar to the Windows control panel for game pads and joysticks. The second tab of the Control Panel displays the current software version and features a link to download the latest version of the Saitek software.
