Game Profiler Wizard
The Game Profiler Wizard allows you to download game profiles for your favorite games from
either the Saitek Product Companion CD or the Saitek Website. These are profiles written by
our in-house gamers to help you get the most from you new Saitek controller in as little time as
possible. To run the Game Controller Wizard, follow these simple instructions:
1
After you have completed testing your Saitek GM2, you will then be asked to run the
Game Profiler Wizard, click on Yes to proceed.
2
At the Welcome dialog box you will be prompted to Import the Game Profiles for your
controller via either the Internet or the CD. Check the box next to CD and click on
Continue. The software will scan your computer for those games you already have
loaded and will load the corresponding profiles.
3
When the Game Profiler Wizard has completed loading the profiles, click on Next and
then Finish.
Important Notice: If you connect the GM2 before installing the Saitek Gaming Extensions soft-
ware, the Saitek GM2 will not operate correctly. To solve this problem, run the NukeUSB utility
(found on the Saitek Product Companion Disc CD), remove the GM2, restart the machine and
then continue the installation in the correct order.

Using Another Mouse with the Action Pad Connected
If you have a favorite mouse that you still wish to use for your other PC tasks, you can still
have it connected to the PC via a PS/2, Serial or another USB port, while the GM2 is
connected. Both the GM2 mouse and your original mouse will simultaneously report
mouse functions; so, just put to one side the mouse you do not wish to use.
Note
: It is recommended that you try using the GM2 Mouse for your day-to-day PC usage for
an all-round improved performance. It’s ultra fast report rates, class leading engineering, scroll
wheel and hat switch will improve your speed in everything from word processing to
web-browsing. Also, the GM2 Mouse has a superbly comfortable design that sits perfectly in
the hand, giving you hours of fatigue-free gaming or PC interaction.
Throttle Wheel (with self–centering or freewheel options)
The Saitek GM2 Action Pad comes complete with an option for changing the nature of the
throttle wheel. Using the switch underneath the pad, you can either use the throttle wheel in
self–centering or freewheel mode. The self–centering option is ideal for first person shoot ‘em
up games, like Quake, where the wheel can be used for side-to-side strafing movements. The
freewheel (unsprung) mode is ideal for strategy games where the axis can be used as a band
selector.
