Create and scan for profiles with Logitech Gaming Software
Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) includes support for approximately six hundred games as of release 8.91. When you run the software for the first time, it should scan and automatically set up game profiles for you. If you install more games later, you can rescan for supported games and have profiles imported for them. You use profiles to customize pointer, lighting or Gkey/function key command assignments for every individual game and application. If you prefer, you can also just use one profile for all your games and applications.
There are two ways to set up profiles for your games or applications:
- Scan for new games
- Create new profiles
Scan For New Games
Logitech Gaming Software’s game profiles are created using registry entries from either Steam, Play, Battle.net, or Origin. Certain game profiles are associated with multiple publisher’s registry entries, but the majority are linked to the Steam registry entry, excluding the games that are available exclusively on Battle.net or Origin. See a complete list of games here.
-
Open Logitech Gaming Software (LGS).
-
Navigate to the Home window for your mouse, keyboard or headset.
-
Select Customize buttons, Customize Function keys or Customize G-keys depending on the device.
-
In the Profiles pane, click Scan For New Games.
-
Once the profiler has completed its scan, click OK to add the profiles to your list.
NOTE : A profile for the selected game should appear in the Profiles pane.
If you own a game that is not automatically detected by the Scan for New Games feature, you can make a few minor adjustments to set up the profile. For more information, please see Scan For New Games does not detect game in Logitech Gaming Software.
Create new profiles
If the Scan For New Games list does not contain the game you want, LGS offers
the ability to
create your own profile. Here’s how:
TIP: LGS can store profiles for any program executable (.exe) file. Use
this to customize commands assignments for productivity programs.
-
Open Logitech Gaming Software (LGS).
-
Navigate to the Home window for your mouse, keyboard or headset.
-
Select Customize buttons, Customize Function keys or Customize G-keys depending on the device.
-
In the Profiles pane, click Create new profile (“+”).
The New Profile window appears:
-
Type distinct names for your profile in the Name and Description boxes.
-
Click “+” and use the Windows Explorer window that appears to navigate to and open your executable (.exe) file.
NOTE: You can assign multiple executable files to the same LGS profile. -
Select the checkbox to Lock profile while game is running to prevent other profiles from becoming active while your game or application is running.
-
If you prefer to use another profile’s lighting, command assignment or pointer settings as a starting point, select the checkbox to Copy from an existing profile. Use the dropdown menu to select a profile to copy settings from.
-
Click OK to save changes and add the new profile.
NOTE: A new profile for the game or application should appear in the Profiles pane.
- +Digital signature error when Logitech Gaming Software is installed on Windows 7 computers
You may see a digital signature error when you install Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) on some Windows 7 computers. All recent versions of LGS require the following Microsoft Windows security update to be installed prior to installing LGS:
- Security Update for Windows 7 Systems (KB3033929)
The security update adds support for SHA-2 driver signing and verification functionality. There are two versions — one for Windows 7 32-bit (x86) and one for Windows 7 64-bit (x64). Make sure you’ve downloaded and installed the correct version for your computer before you install LGS.
- +Run Logitech Gaming Software 5.10 and a later version at the same time
Logitech offers two versions of Logitech Gaming software (LGS):
- LGS 5.10 — used by some older Logitech gamepads, wheels, and joysticks
- LGS 8.x and higher
NOTE: For a list of Logitech gaming devices that use LGS 5.10, see Logitech game devices compatible with Logitech Gaming Software 5.10.
You can have both versions installed on your computer at the same time. In order for both versions to work, however, you’ll need to make sure that you’ve installed them in the correct order:
- Install LGS 5.10.
- Install current version of LGS.
If you have both versions and are running into issues, try the following:
- Uninstall both versions of LGS.
- Reinstall LGS 5.10.
- Reinstall the current version of LGS
