Shift Button
Some controls can be programmed to perform an extra function by use of the Shift Button. This
works in the same way as when you press the Shift Key in conjunction with another key on your
computer keyboard – to assign a new and added function to the key.
By simultaneously pressing the Shift Button with another control, you can assign another
command to that control. This is a simple and effective way of increasing the functionality of
your game controller.
Saitek Gaming Extensions (SGE)
Saitek Gaming Extensions (SGE) is the software Saitek supplies to configure your Saitek game
controller for enhanced functionality. SGE delivers a powerful set of features, allowing you to
tailor your game controller to the ultimate configuration for the ultimate gameplay. Despite a

itive to use.
Features of SGE :
• Automatic profile activation for current game
• Personalize the controller settings for your favorite games
• Configure your controller with an on-screen rotational 3D model and interface
• Multiple profile option for each controller (ideal if a controller is used by several people)
• Program special moves with sophisticated timing features
• Special game setups available from the Saitek website and the Product Companion CD
Quick Start Guide to Programming Your Controller with SGE
Creating a Profile for a Game
1
Open the SGE software by double-clicking on the SGE icon.
2
Next, double-click on New Game Wizard and then on Next.
3
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.
4
On the following screen, leave both options ticked and click on Next, then highlight the
controller and click on Next again.
5
Finally, review the information offered on the final screen and click on Finish.
Adding Commands to the Profile
1
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 P750.
2
Click on the folder called Saitek P750 and a 3-D model of the controller will appear on
the screen.
3
If you place the mouse pointer on the 3-D model and hold down the left mouse button,
you can rotate the image.
4
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).
5
The long bar at the bottom of the screen is the Command Editor. Simply click on and
highlight 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 HIGH-
LIGHT THE COMMAND LINE AND TYPE IN THE CORRECT ENTRY.
