Prole Editor
Mouse and Key Prole Editor Software
What is the Prole Editor Software?
The Prole Editor is a program that allows you to customize your SGC2910 Wireless PC Controller for PC
games that do not support USB game controllers. It can program keyboard keys and mouse movement to the
SGC2910, allowing you to use the controller with PC games that only support the mouse and keyboard. You can
create multiple proles for each PC game you own. This allows you to have a customized control layout for the
various PC games you play.
What is Prole?
A Prole is a set of programmed keyboard keys and control settings that determines how your SGC2910
functions in a PC game. Multiple Proles can be created and saved for use with multiple games.
Should I use the Prole Editor?
The use of the Prole Editor is optional. If a PC game supports USB game controllers then you should not use
the Prole Editor. Most PC games have an “Options/Setup” or “Controller Conguration” menu screen where
you can congure your controller’s buttons to perform commands in the game. It is recommended that you use
these menu screens if available. Users should congure the SGC2910 by using the game’s conguration screen.
The Prole Editor is for use with PC games that only support the mouse and keyboard as input devices. Typically,
game controllers could not be used with these PC games. The Prole Editor will allow you to use your SGC2910
with these PC games. You are able to assign keyboard keys, mouse buttons, and mouse movement to the
controller with the Prole Editor. This will allow you to use the SGC2910 with PC games that only support the
keyboard and mouse.
Note: Check if your PC game supports USB game controllers. If it does, then you should not use the Prole
Editor. To verify if a PC game will work with USB game controllers, you should check the recommended
specications on the game packaging, check the instruction manual, or look in the game’s “Options/Setup”
menu. You can also check the game publisher’s website or contact their technical support department.
How to program the SGC2910 with Prole Editor Software
The following section will show you how to create a prole for the SGC2910 Wireless PC Controller. Creating a
prole will allow you to use the SGC2910 with your mouse and keyboard games.
1. You can start the Prole Editor by double-clicking on the ‘SGC2910 Wireless PC Controller’ desktop
shortcut. An image of the desktop shortcut is shown below. You can also start the Prole Editor by clicking

is used to adjust the velocity and acceleration of the emulated mouse movement. These two options allow
you to improve the emulated mouse movement of the analog sticks. In some PC games, the emulated
mouse movement may move to rapidly or slowly. You may also nd precision to be poor. Adjusting these
two options will improve the emulated mouse movement and provide a better game play experience.
a. Velocity – You can adjust velocity by dragging the slider with your mouse’s left button. The velocity
setting adjusts how fast the mouse cursor will move when you use the SGC2910’s analog stick. This
setting adjusts the number of pixels the mouse cursor will move per second. The left of the slider will
cause the velocity to be slower, while the right side of the slider will increase the velocity.
b. Acceleration – You can adjust acceleration by dragging the slider with your mouse’s left button. The
acceleration setting adjusts the sensitivity of the SGC2910’s analog stick. The left of the slider will cause
the acceleration to be slower, while the right side of the slider will increase the acceleration.
Note: It is recommended that you adjust the velocity and acceleration to see what changes it causes to the
emulated mouse movement.
10. PRINT button – This button allows you to print the main menu of the Prole Editor for reference during
gameplay. A printout will provide you with a reference of the assigned keys.
Congratulations, you now know all the features and functions of the prole editor software. You are now ready
to create your own custom prole for your PC games. Assignments and programming are automatically loaded
as the changes are made. Once you have completed your prole you should save it for a later date. You can then
close the Prole Editor as the created prole is automatically loaded.
Note: If you want to test your prole it is recommended that you simply use your text editor or Microsoft
Word
®

Troubleshooting
Windows Troubleshooting
Below are our basic troubleshooting tips. A more detailed F.A.Q. is included on the SGC2910 Software’s main
directory. The F.A.Q. is in PDF format.
• Make sure the Wireless PC Controller is plugged rmly into your computer’s USB port. Try connecting the
Wireless PC Controller to a different USB port. Connect the Wireless PC Controller to a USB port on your
computer. Do not connect through external hubs.
• Make sure you have properly installed the Wireless PC Controller through your operating system. Open the
Gaming Options/Game Controllers applet to verify that the Wireless PC Controller is installed properly and
operating correctly. If the SGC2910 is not listed, try disconnecting the controller and plugging it into another
USB port. You should also try uninstalling the SGC2910 software and then reinstalling. You must follow the
steps correctly to ensure the software is installed properly.
• Make sure you have installed the Wireless PC Controller software. Vibration feedback and Prole Editor will
not work unless the SGC2910 software is installed on your PC.
• Make sure the Wireless connection cable is fully extended before connecting the SGC2910 to your PC.
• Do not extend/retract the connection cable while connected to a USB port as this can cause your software
title to lose connection with the Wireless PC Controller. If this occurs, wait several seconds and the Wireless
PC Controller should automatically reconnect. If this doesn’t work try unplugging the USB connector and
then reconnecting to the same USB port. If this doesn’t work, you will need to exit the PC game and restart
it. If this occurs while you are using the SGC2910 with a game prole, the loaded prole will be lost. You
would then need to exit the PC game, restart the SGC2910 Prole Editor and reload the prole. You can then
restart your PC game.
• If the software title stops responding to the Wireless PC Controller, this indicates that the connection may
have been lost due to extending or retracting the connection cable. Wait several seconds and the Wireless
PC Controller should automatically reconnect. If this doesn’t work try unplugging the USB connector and
then reconnecting to the same USB port.
• If your software title freezes or hangs up due to extending or retracting the cable, you will need to try the following:
a. Wait several seconds and the Wireless PC Controller should automatically reconnect. If this doesn’t
work try unplugging the USB connector and then reconnecting to the same USB port.
b. If the above tip does not work, then you will have to exit the software title. Press Ctrl and Alt keys
down at the same time and then press the Del key. Try closing down the software title. If this does not
work you will need to restart your PC.
• The Wireless PC Controller will only vibrate in software titles that support vibration. Contact the game
manufacturer to verify. You must have also loaded the SGC2910 software. There are many different force
feedback and rumble effects available. However, due to differences in software and hardware design, the
Wireless PC Controller may not support all effects. You will nd that the range of effects that the Wireless
PC Controller supports will vary from game to game.
• Check your software’s instruction manual to ensure it supports USB controllers. If the PC game supports
USB controllers then you do not need to use the Prole Editor. If it only supports the mouse and keyboard,
then you must use the SGC2910 Prole Editor.

Question
When I plug my SGC2910 in and Windows runs through the detection process it asks me for my Windows CD. I
do not have a Windows CD as it was not supplied with my computer so what do I do?
Answer 1
Check and verify that you have the Windows CD.
If you have the Windows CD, you should insert it into your CD-ROM drive. The actual les that Windows is
looking for when you are trying to install the SGC2910 are called Cab les and these are usually found in a
directory on your Windows CD (Win98 if you have Windows 98SE or Win9x if you have Windows ME). You will
need to select the appropriate CD-ROM directory when asked by Windows. The necessary les will then by
copied to your PC.
Answer 2
Win98SE and ME may require the Windows CD to complete the installation.
Some PC manufacturers do not provide a Windows CD with their computer when they ship it to the customer.
The actual les that Windows is looking for when you are trying to install the SGC2910 are called Cab les and
these are usually found in a directory on your Windows CD (Win98 if you have Windows 98 or Win9x if you
have Windows ME). However, if the manufacturer did not give you a CD then they may have made a backup of
these les somewhere on your hard drive.
The standard location to place these les is the C:\Windows\Options\Cabs directory or, sometimes, simply the
C:\Cabs directory. You can also try the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers directory for the location of the les. The
last possible location to place these les is C:\Win98 or C:\Win9x.
When the Windows installer for the SGC2910 asks you for your Windows CD simply click OK - it will come
back to you saying that it can not nd a particular le and at the bottom of the window that comes up it will tell
you where it is trying to Copy The Files From in a small window.
Click in this window and delete whatever is in there and try replacing it with one of the above locations. If
neither works then you should get in touch with the company who supplied your PC and ask them where your
Cab les are kept on your PC.
General Questions

EN
Answer 2
The PC game supports USB controllers but the controller still doesn’t work.
The SGC2910 will not automatically work with PC games that support USB controllers. You will need to
congure the SGC2910 to the game. The procedure for doing this varies from game to game. You need to
consult the game’s instruction manual or contact the game publisher for instructions.
Usually, you will need to enter the PC game’s options or setup menu. Within this menu there should be a
“controller conguration” menu. You will need to change the input device to the connected game controller.
The default input device is usually the keyboard. Once this is completed you still need to congure/assign/map
the buttons and controls of the SGC2910 to the game. The “controller conguration” menu should display all
the gameplay functions of the PC game and the default keys that control these functions. For example, Jump =
Space key. Within this screen you should click on the gameplay function you wish to congure and then press
the desired button on the SGC2910. The exact procedure for conguring the gameplay functions will vary from
game to game. Consult the PC game’s instruction manual.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question
My SGC2910 does not vibrate with my PC game.
Answer 1
PC game doesn’t support vibration or force feedback.
You need to verify that the PC game in question supports vibration or force feedback. The majority of PC
games do not. The SGC2910 will only work in PC games that support vibration or force feedback.
You should check the game’s instruction manual and packaging. Also check the website of the game publisher
and developer. If you still can not nd any information you should try contacting the game publisher.
Most PC games that only support the mouse and keyboard as input devices do not support vibration feedback.
Please keep this in mind.
Answer 2
PC game supports vibration feedback but the SGC2910 still doesn’t vibrate.
Please make sure you have installed the SGC2910 software from the SGC2910 CD. Please test the controller’s
vibration in the “Gaming Options/Game Controllers” applet found in the Windows Control Panel. If the
SGC2910’s vibration feedback works when tested then the problem is with the PC game.
There are many different force feedback and rumble effects available. The supported effects will vary from game
to game. Unfortunately, due to differences in software and hardware design, the PC game controller may not
support all the effects of the PC game. You will nd that the range of effects that the Wireless PC Controller
supports will vary from game to game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question
Can I use the SGC2910 as a standard USB game controller games without
the Prole Editor on PC games that support USB controller?
Answer
Yes you can.
This is actually recommended by us. You should not use the Prole Editor if your game supports USB game
controllers. Verify that you are using our default prole and then congure the SGC2910 within the PC game’s
“controller conguration” menu.

Question
I extended the cable of my SGC2910 and now the SGC2910 stopped working in my PC Game or my PC game froze.
Answer
Do not extend or retract the connection cable of the SGC2910 while it is connected to a USB port.
The cable length should be adjusted before you connect the SGC2910 to your USB port. Adjusting the length
while the SGC2910 is connected to a USB port can cause your PC and game to lose connection with the
SGC2910. If this occurs, you can try the tips below.
• If the PC Game stops responding to the SGC2910 coil, this indicates that the connection may have been
lost due to extending or retracting the connection cable. Wait several seconds and the SGC2910 d should
automatically reconnect. If this doesn’t work, you will need to exist the PC game and restart it. If this occurs
while you are using the SGC2910 with a game prole, the loaded prole will be lost. You would then need to
exist the PC game, restart the SGC2910 Prole Editor and reload the prole. You then can restart your PC
game.
• If your software title freezes or hangs up due to extending or retracting the cable you will need to try the
following. Wait several seconds and the SGC2910 should automatically reconnect. If this doesn’t work try
unplugging the USB connector and then reconnecting to the same USB port. If the above tip does not work,
then you will have to exist the software title. Press Ctrl and Alt keys down at the same time and then press the
Del key. Try closing down the software title. If this does not work you will need to restart your PC.
Please do not extend or retract the SGC2910’s cable while it is connected to the USB port. If you need to adjust
the length you should exit the PC game. Unplug the SGC2910 from your USB port and adjust the cable to the
desired length. Plug the SGC2910 to your USB port and restart the PC game. If you were using a custom prole
you will need to restart the SGC2910 Prole Editor and reload the same prole.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question
The Enter and Esc buttons on my SGC2910 do not work. What do they do?
Answer
SGC2910 software must be installed.
You must install the SGC2910 software. If the software is not installed, these two buttons will not function. The

Prole Editor Software Questions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question
I received a “Can’t connect to SGC2910 Wireless PC Controller Controller!” when I click on the SGC2910 icon.
Answer
The SGC2910 is not connected to your PC’s USB port.
Verify that the SGC2910 is directly connected to a USB port on your PC. The SGC2910 must be connected in
order to use the Prole Editor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question
What does the prole editor do?
Answer
The Prole Editor allows the SGC2910 to emulate mouse and keyboard commands on the controller. This
makes the SGC2910 compatible with all computer games, even those that do not support controllers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question
Why aren’t my controls working correctly in my PC game? The SGC2910 acts erratically when I use the Prole Editor.
Answer 1
The game may support USB game controllers.
Check to verify if your PC game supports USB game controllers. If it does, you should not use the Prole Editor
with the PC game. You should only use the default prole when your PC game supports USB game controllers.
When you assign a keyboard key to the controller’s button, pressing that button when now send the controller
button command and the keyboard key command. This isn’t a problem with PC games that only support the
mouse and keyboard. This PC game will only register the keyboard key. However, a game that supports USB
game controllers will register the controller button and keyboard key. So the game will assume you are pressing
a controller button and keyboard key at the same time.
If you desire to use a custom prole with these games, you can check if the PC game has a joystick/controller
enable option. If it does, try disabling it and then see if you can use the Prole Editor with the PC game.
Answer 2
You may have loaded the wrong prole for your controller.
Check and verify that you are using the correct prole for the game you desire to play. You should get into
the habit of checking the prole before you start your PC game. This will ensure the SGC2910 is correctly
congured for the game you desire to play.
When you start your PC or reboot you must start the Prole Editor and load the desired prole. Also, if the
PC loses connection with your SGC2910 you will need to start the Prole Editor and load the desired prole.

Question
I want to use my SGC2910 in First Person Shooters games. I want my SGC2910 to perform similarly to my
Playstation2 controller. How can I congure the SGC2910 to do this?
Answer
Most First Person Shooter games (FPS) are designed to only support the mouse and keyboard. Most developers
consider the mouse and keyboard to provide the best control, so controller support is usually very basic or not
included.
Currently, our Prole Editor will not allow you to setup the SGC2910 so it emulates the Playstation2 control setup
in FPS game. Currently, only mouse movement can be assigned to the SGC2910 analog sticks. You can congure the
D-pad to the WASD keys and the right analog stick to mouse movement. This will allow you to use the SGC2910
d-pad to control character movement and the right analog stick to control the camera movement.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question
Can I assign a keyboard key to analog sticks of the SGC2910?
Answer
No you cannot.
You can only assign mouse movement to the analog sticks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question
When I use the Prole Editor, my SGC2910 does not vibrate with my PC game.
Answer
Most keyboard and mouse only PC games do not support vibration feedback.
Unfortunately, most games that only support the mouse and keyboard due not support vibration feedback. If
you must use the Prole Editor with your PC game, it means the game most likely doesn’t support vibration
feedback. However, contact the game publisher for verication.
