Saitek P150 Quick Start Manual

1. LEARN ABOUT THE BASICS...
Thank you for selecting Saitek's new P150 Gamepad! Carefully
designed to be extremely versatile and ergonomically sound, this unique
gamepad offers long grips for comfortable play, making it perfect for a
wide range of hand sizes. As shown under Features and Controls , the
P150 boasts 8 buttons (6 fire buttons and 2 quick-fire triggers), all of
which are assignable in your favorite Windows
fast and responsive 8-way D-Pad, which even gives you the option of
attaching a handle for use as a mini joystick. And, you won't ever have to
worry about losing the handle, since it stores right inside the unit when not
in use! Additionally, the USB connection lets you plug this gamepad in
without even turning your computer off—allowing you to connect the
Saitek P150 and start up a game whenever you're in the mood, at a
moment's notice!
Note: To achieve optimum performance and avoid potential conflicts,
we recommend that you remove any previously loaded controllers before
adding the P150 as the active controller. To do so, select the installed
controller in the Game Controllers window (under Control Panel), click
on Remove, and click on Yes to confirm.
