Using game interface modes
Your new Logitech gamepad supports both XInput and DirectInput interface modes. You can switch between these two modes by sliding a switch on the side of the gamepad. It’s recommended that you leave the gamepad in XInput mode, which is marked “X” (1) on the gamepad side.
In XInput mode, the gamepad uses standard Windows XInput gamepad drivers. It is not necessary to install the included software CD unless you will be using the gamepad in DirectInput mode.
XInput is the most current input standard for games on the Windows operating system. Most newer games that support gamepads use XInput. If your game supports XInput gamepads and your gamepad is in XInput mode, vibration feedback and all gamepad controls should operate normally. If your game supports XInput gamepads and your gamepad is in DirectInput mode, the gamepad will not function in the game unless it is switched to XInput mode or the gamepad is configured using the Logitech Profiler software.
DirectInput is an older input standard for games on the Windows operating system. Most older games that support gamepads use DirectInput. If your game supports DirectInput gamepads and your gamepad is in XInput mode, most features on the gamepad will function except that the left and right trigger buttons act as a single button, not independently, and vibration feedback is not available. For best support in DirectInput games, try putting the gamepad in DirectInput mode, marked “D” on the gamepad side (2).
Some games do not support either DirectInput or XInput gamepads. If your
gamepad doesn’t work in either XInput or DirectInput modes in your game, you
can configure it by switching it to DirectInput mode and using the Logitech
Profiler software.
The Logitech Profiler software cannot be used to configure the gamepad when it
is in XInput mode.
Help with Setup
The gamepad doesn’t work
- Check the USB connection.
- The USB receiver works best plugged into a full-powered USB port. If you use a USB hub, it must have its own power supply.
- Try plugging the USB receiver into a different USB port.
- Ensure the batteries are making good contact.
- Try using fresh batteries
- If the wireless connection fails intermittently, try using the included USB extension cable.
- In the Windows® Control Panel/Game Controllers screen, gamepad = “OK” and controller ID = 1.
- Restart the computer.
The gamepad controls do not work as expected
Refer to “Using game input modes” and “Features” in this guide to learn more about how XInput and DirectInput interface modes affect gamepad functioning.
