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.
