What is the Profile Editor Software?

games that do not support USB game controllers. It can program keyboard keys and mouse movement to the

create multiple profiles for each PC game you own. This allows you to have a customized control layout for the
various PC games you play.
What is Profile?
A Profile is a set of programmed keyboard keys and control settings that determines how your SGC2909 func-
tions in a PC game. Multiple Profiles can be created and saved for use with multiple games.
Should I use the Profile Editor?
The use of the Profile Editor is optional. If a PC game supports USB game controllers then you should not use
the Profile Editor. Most PC games have an “Options/Setup” or “Controller Configuration” menu screen where
you can configure your controller’s buttons to perform commands in the game. It is recommended that you use
these menu screens if available. Users should configure the SGC2909 by using the game’s configuration screen.
The Profile Editor is for use with PC games that only support the mouse and keyboard as input devices. Typically,
game controllers could not be used with these PC games. The Profile Editor will allow you to use your SGC2909
with these PC games. You are able to assign keyboard keys, mouse buttons, and mouse movement to the control-
ler with the Profile Editor. This will allow you to use the SGC2909 with PC games that only support the key-
board and mouse .
Note: Check if your PC game supports USB game controllers. If it does, then you should not use the Profile Edi-
tor. To verify if a PC game will work with USB game controllers, you should check the recommended speci-
fications on the game packaging, check the instruction manual, or look in the game’s “Options/Setup” menu.
You can also check the game publisher’s website or contact their technical support department.
