Recently, the most common device for gamers has become a gamepad - a type of game pad that provides the player with more convenient control than traditional mouse and keyboard.
It is necessary
- - installation disk;
- - manipulator;
- - a computer;
- - an adapter for a USB connector.
Instructions
Step 1
Please note that a gamepad, like any other joystick, can be connected to the game port. But there are adapters that allow you to connect it via a regular USB connector. They can be supplied with the manipulator. Connect to the game port with the computer turned off, but for USB it is completely unimportant.
Step 2
From the installation disk supplied with the device, install the necessary drivers, as well as the calibration program. This, as a rule, does not cause any special difficulties, since there is a "Setup Wizard" on the disk, and you will only be required to agree with the default parameters and follow the step-by-step instructions.
Step 3
Call the calibration program with a shortcut located on the desktop or through the main menu "Start". It will help you fine-tune the analog controllers of the gamepad and assign actions to the buttons. These same settings, as a rule, can be done using standard Windows tools, opening access to them from the "Control Panel" after the manipulator is installed.
Step 4
In each game where a gamepad will be used, you must indicate its presence in the settings. In addition, a number of settings for this manipulator can also be made in a particular game. As a rule, the interface of the gamepad settings in games is very simple, and it will not be difficult to deal with them even for a novice gamer.
Step 5
Please note that in some games it is simply not possible to customize the gamepad in such a way that the gameplay is more comfortable than using a keyboard and mouse. The gamepad is optimal for certain genres of games such as space simulators, car simulators, etc. After completing all the settings, you will be able to evaluate all the pros and cons of this manipulator.
