Software License Agreement Software License Agreement PLEASE READ THIS SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE USING YOUR LOGITECH PRODUCT OR DOWNLOADING THIS SOFTWARE. BY USING YOUR LOGITECH PRODUCT OR DOWNLOADING THIS SOFTWARE YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Software License Agreement essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. The above limitations will not apply in case of personal injury where and to the extent that applicable law requires such liability. 7. U.S. Government End Users. The Software is a "Commercial Item", as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.
Using my device Your gaming device has some special features (including keys, buttons and other features). Many are customizable (see Customizing my device). Your device has some, but not all, of the following: G-keys/buttons and M-keys. Your device's G-keys (or buttons for a mouse) are your main gaming weapon. They provide you with a powerful armory of programmable keys that you can tailor to each of your games (and other applications). And if your device has M-keys, you have even more flexibility.
Customizing my device Even though your device is ready to use straight from the box, one of its great strengths is that you can customize it to suit you and your gaming... Most Logitech® gaming devices feature programmable G-keys or buttons. The default functionality of its G-keys/buttons are specified in the default profile 'Default Profile'. If your device has M-keys, they are labeled M1, M2, and so on.
Using the G-keys Note: If your device doesn't have G-keys, ignore this topic. Each G-key has a default action that is the same as the equivalent Function (F) key. For example, G1 is equivalent to F1, G2 is equivalent to F2, and so on. But the real value of the G-keys is that you can customize them to suit you and every game you play and every application you use. Each game (or application) can use a profile that is uniquely tailored to it. The profile defines what each G-key does when you press it.
Using the M-keys Note: If your device doesn't have M-keys, ignore this topic. Your device contains M-keys, labeled M1, M2, and so on. These change which mode (or shift state) the G-keys are in. When you press one of the M-keys, its LED is lit to indicate that you're in that mode. On some devices, the backlighting color also changes to match the mode. So why have different modes? The main reason is that your game may need many macros.
Using mouse buttons Note: If your device doesn't have mouse buttons, ignore this topic. Each mouse button has a default action that is the typical pre-configured action for that button. For example, pressing the right button performs a standard right-click function. However, your mouse buttons can be customized to suit you and every game you play and every application you use. Each game (or application) can use a profile that is uniquely tailored to it.
Controlling my multimedia Note: If your device doesn't have multimedia buttons, ignore this topic. Some devices contain keys or buttons designed to enhance your multimedia experience. For example, when you want to listen to music or watch a movie you can control your multimedia with single button presses. You can select the track you require, and play and pause it. You can also change and mute the volume.
Switching my device to Gaming mode Switching my device to Gaming Note: If your device doesn't having a Gaming mode switch/button, ignore this topic. Switching to Gaming mode depends on whether your device is a keyboard or a mouse... Keyboards To switch to Gaming mode, simply move the Gaming mode switch to the right. If there are two symbols on your device, move it from (normal) to (gaming).
Connecting devices to the USB hub Connecting devices to the USB hub Note: If your keyboard doesn't have integrated USB ports, ignore this topic. Your keyboard contains an integrated USB self-powered hub containing external USB ports. This is ideal for connecting up to other devices, for two reasons: It frees up your computer's USB ports. You can connect devices to your keyboard, such as a joystick and headset, instead of using up your computer's USB ports. It's so convenient.
Using the mini-joystick Note: If your device doesn't have a mini-joystick, ignore this topic. If your device contains a mini-joystick, you can use it when playing games and when using other applications. Its features include: A four-direction mini-joystick. Three buttons. Two are next to the joystick and the other is activated by pressing down on top of the mini-joystick itself.
Checking my device's battery charge Checking my device's battery charge Note: If your device is corded, please ignore this topic. For devices with batteries, you can check the current battery level within the Logitech® Gaming Software by looking at the battery symbol in the top-left corner. This gives you an indication of how much battery life remains. If your device has an LCD display, a warning message is displayed on it when your device's battery power becomes low. battery.
Profiles help Your gaming device features G-keys/buttons that you can customize. To get the most from your device's G-keys/buttons, use the Profiles View in the Logitech® Gaming Software. See Using the Profiles View for information. Here's a taste of what you can do when customizing G-keys/buttons: Scan your computer for installed games that Logitech has already made a profile for, and automatically assign the profiles to them. See Using profiles.
Using the Profiles View The Profiles View in the Logitech® Gaming Software offers features to create and maintain the profiles for your games, so you can customize your G-keys/buttons to maximize your gaming. To access the Profiles View, click the Customize G-keys/buttons icon on the Device bar, at the bottom of the Logitech Gaming Software screen. The icon shown depends on whether the device you have selected contains G-keys or mouse buttons.
Using profiles A profile is a set of customized assignments (keystrokes, multi key macros, shortcuts, and functions) and other settings that determine how your device's programmable G-keys or buttons behave. Each profile is usually associated with a particular application (typically a game) on your computer. When you play the game, the profile linked to it becomes active automatically, and so the G-keys/buttons defined in that profile are usable.
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).

The Scan For New Games dialog box is displayed, and the software searches your computer for known games. Any it finds are highlighted. 4.
What are persistent and default profiles? As well as the profiles that can be linked individually to each of your games there are two other, more general, profiles that you can choose whether or not you want to specify: The persistent profile. If specified, this is always active, overwriting any other profiles in use. Therefore, even if an application you are running has a profile linked to it, the persistent profile takes priority.
To specify a default 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, right-click the profile that you want to make default, and select Set As Default. (To unset it, right-click on it again and select Set As Default to remove the check mark.
What is profile cycling? It's possible to associate more than one profile with a game. For example, you might want a different profile active for each character or level in a game, so that quickly switch to the most appropriate profile at all times. To associate multiple profiles with a single game, you need to set up a profile cycling keystroke (or keystroke combination). Then, when gaming, you can simply press the keystroke to switch to a different profile without leaving the game.

Recording multi key macros Put simply, a multi key macro is a series of keystrokes that you can assign to a G-key/button. To be more precise it's a series of down-up key events, recording each key-down, each key-up, and each delay (between a key-down and key up, or key-up and key-down), and can also include mouse events (button presses and wheel scrolls). So why record multi key macros? Well, many games have movements or other commands that involve a combination of keystrokes.
