To create a new profile

1.

Within the Logitech

®

Gaming Software, if you have more than one gaming device, choose the relevant one using the

Device Selector on the Device bar.

2.

Display the Profiles View (by clicking the icon on the Device bar).

3.

In the

Profiles

area, click the

Create new profile

icon or click an empty profile. The

New Profile

window is displayed.

4.

Type the

Name

that you want to give the profile (typically the game's name). This name appears when you point the

cursor at the profile in the

Profiles

area in the Profiles View, and on your device's GamePanel display (if your device has

an LCD) for five seconds when you launch a game with this profile linked to it.

5.

Optionally enter a

Description

, for example to clarify which version of the game the profile is set up for.

6.

Choose the executable file(s) for the game(s)/application(s) that this profile is for. To do so, click the

+

icon and either:

i.

Select

Add application from GamePanel

from the drop-down menu.

ii.

Launch (or switch to) the game so that it is the current, foreground application.

iii.

Press the

OK

button next to the display.

-or-

i.

Select

Choose application

from the drop-down menu. The

Open

dialog box is displayed.

ii.

Select the executable file(s), and click

Open

.

Repeat this if you want this profile to be linked to more than one game/application. You can link the profile to many

games/applications if you want to. To remove a game/application, click its name and click the

-

icon.

7.

If you want to specify that once the profile has been activated by running the game, it will stay activated until the game

ends, then check the

Lock profile while game is running

box. This guarantees that even if the game loses focus that

the profile will remain active.

8.

If you want the new profile to be based on an existing similar profile, check the

Copy from an existing profile

box, and

select the existing profile from the drop-down list of your profiles.

9.

Click

OK

.

Note:

Alternatively, you can base a new profile on an existing similar profile by clicking the

arrow beneath the

Create new profile

icon in the

Profiles

area, selecting

Copy Existing Profile

and choosing the profile you want the new profile to be based on.

The profile is created and linked to the game(s) you chose. If the

Show profile activation notifications on the GamePanel

display

box is checked in the

Logitech Gaming Software Options

dialog box, then when you launch the application the display

shows the name of the profile that is activated. In addition, a padlock image is shown on the display if you checked the

Lock

profile while the game is running

box. All G-key/button assignments defined in this profile automatically become available

when you're playing the game, depending on your persistent profile settings.

You can now customize your G-keys/buttons. See

Assigning commands to

G-keys/buttons

for details.
