NOTE: Your Gamepad F310's functions depend on its input mode, which can be set to either:
- XInput- Can be configured from your game software or Logitech's Gaming Software
- DirectInput- Can be configured only from Logitech's Gaming Software
Program with your game software
Most modern games support gamepads. You'll only need to use these instructions if your game doesn't natively support them.Not all games are made the same way. If you're unable to find the settings within the game to configure your gamepad, either contact the game developer or go to the Program with Logitech Gaming Software section below.
To program your thumbsticks:
-
Launch your game software, and locate the Options/Settings area (example shown below).
NOTE: Games organize their configuration differently. In this example, setting up a gamepad requires that you first open the Keyboard/Mouse option and then change the Gamepad option to "Enabled" (shown below). Not all games require this step.
NOTE: For some games, all you need to do is enable gamepad functionality. You may or may not have the option to customize and configure the inputs.
-
Find the option to edit or configure the thumbsticks. In this example, click the Edit key option.
-
Press the Mode button to turn off the mode light if it is on.
NOTE: The Mode button swaps the functionality of the directional pad (D-pad) with the left thumbstick on your F310. When the mode light is on, the functions are being swapped and it'll be difficult to program your directional pad. See Knowledge Article Knowledge Base article 360023399953 for more about modes.
-
Configure the thumbstick movement. For most games, you'll do this by clicking an edit key or button to select the option you want.
In this example, for "Move Forward", we'll highlight this option, click the Edit key button and then press forward on the thumbstick.
-
Repeat steps 2 - 4 with "Move Back", "Move Left", and "Move Right" on the gamepad. If the game can properly accept the movement, the screen will now look something like this
-
Click Apply or OK. Your thumbstick movement should now be configured.
