Quick Start Guide to Programming Your Controller with SGE
Creating a Profile for a Game
Open the SGE software by double-clicking on the SGE icon.
Next, double-click on New Game Wizard and then on Next.
You will now see a list of all the .exe files on your PC to which SGE can be assigned.
Highlight the name of the game you wish to create a profile for, eg, tomb4.exe, then
click on Next.
On the following screen, leave both options ticked and click on Next, then highlight the
controller and click on Next again.
Finally, review the information offered on the final screen and click on Finish.
Adding Commands to the Profile
In the Explorer mode you will now see a folder for the your new profile. Double-click on
the folder and you will see it open out to show 2 sub-folders - the Command List and
Saitek P2000.

If you place the mouse pointer on the 3-D model and hold down the left mouse button,
you can rotate the image.

Next, click on any control on the controller. You will see that the control turns blue
(indicating that it is ready for programming) and that the text boxes at the bottom of the
screen show its attributes (see the SGE diagram to see what each box denotes).

The long bar at the bottom of the screen is the Command Editor. Simply click on and high
light the current keyboard setting and replace it by pressing the new keyboard command.
Note: If you look in the manual that came with your game, it will tell you what keyboard
commands are associated with what actions in the game.
WARNING: THE SGE AUTOMATICALLY SAVES THE CHANGES YOU MAKE WITHOUT THE
USE OF A SAVE BUTTON. THEREFORE, IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE, SIMPLY HIGHLIGHT
THE COMMAND LINE AND TYPE IN THE CORRECT ENTRY.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Q
My computer is not recognizing the P2000 – what’s wrong?
A
Check the cable connections. Turn off the computer and then unplug your
gamepad. Plug it back in making certain that is securely attached.
Q
Can I have another game controller connected to my PC at the same
time?
A
To avoid potential problems and conflicts, we recommend that you remove
any existing game controllers before installing the P2000. Do this by
selecting the previously installed controller in the
Game Controllers
window
and clicking on
Remove
.
Q
I have plugged in my P2000 using the USB connector and it has not been
recognized by the computer.
A
Your USB connection may not be enabled within the computer. You can
switch it on via your computer’s BIOS settings (please check the
documentation that came with your computer). If you are still unsure as to
what to do, contact Technical Support.
Q
I am using my P2000 with SGE programming software and it doesn’t work in
some Electronic Arts games such as Need for Speed 3, Fifa and NHL.
A
To make the controller work with these games, you need to select ‘keyboard’ within
the game rather than ‘game controller’. Alternatively, use the pad without the SGE
and let the pad auto-configure the best setup for the game.
