The switch on the back lets you toggle between the gamepad’s two operating modes: X stands for XInput (for most current games) and D stands for DirectInput (for all older and some newer games). When in XInput mode, all four gamepad LEDs will light up. Put the gamepad into the desired mode before starting a game.

Xinput Games
XInput (X) XInput is the preinstalled, modern gamepad standard on Windows 7 and Vista. It can also be installed on Windows XP (SP1 or greater). Use XInput to play games in Windows whenever possible. This input mode is intended to make the gamepad work natively with modern games. XInput is an API that allows applications to receive input from the Xbox Controller for Windows. Controller rumble effects and voice input and output are supported. This topic provides a brief overview of the capabilities of XInput and how to set it up in an application. It includes the following.
Download the driver from www.speedlink.com to install the software. Always use the latest driver version.
Why has my left-hand analog stick/D-pad stopped working?
Press the SPEEDLINK button in DirectInput mode to toggle between the two D-pad modes. If the upper two LEDs do not light up, coolie hat mode is active. This means that the D-pad and left-hand analog stick have swapped functions.
XInput is used to provide native support for the Xbox 360 Controller and other compatible controllers on Windows. XInput mainly appears with games made for both Windows and the Xbox 360 console. The XInput package does not install to versions of Windows earlier than Windows XP with Service Pack 1.
How do I use this gamepad to play games that only support mice or keyboards as input devices?
You can only do this with special additional software. These programmes are available as freeware versions and easy to find on the Internet.
Why can’t the trigger buttons (R2 and L2) be pressed at the same time?
The signals of these two buttons are on the same axis, so they cancel each other out if pressed simultaneously. This offers the best form of control in many games. Alternatively, configure the button mapping in the game so you don’t need to press both trigger buttons at the same time.
Why does the gamepad not work at all or only offer limited functionality in some games?
As the gamepad supports both operating modes – DirectInput and XInput – you need to determine before launching the game which interface the game supports. You then need to set the gamepad to the correct mode as described in the manual prior to starting the game. You can determine which mode is compatible with a game by contacting the video game publisher, consulting the game instructions or testing both modes. Please note: full gamepad support is not offered by every game. However, these games can often be controlled using the gamepad by downloading and installing free additional software available on the Internet.
