Description:

The new Intel Wireless Series gamepad accessory unleashes gaming action with its wireless operation, customizable controls, and profile sharing. It has a sleek, comfortable design that fits perfectly in your hands for hours of wire-free winning. The Gamepad works with the 900 MHz Intel Wireless Series Base Station (sold separately) and boasts a nine-foot range that doesn't require a direct line of sight to the base station or the PC.

Intel's wireless gamepad features eight buttons, two triggers, one shift button, and an ultraresponsive D-pad. You can customize it by assigning up to 28 different moves or profiles to any the control buttons. The wireless gamepad can be used as a mouse for any program on your computer or even for surfing the Web. It has a liquid-crystal display showing player number, as well as low battery power. This gives you a quick and simple way to keep you from losing control in the heat of battle and also indicates whether you're in mouse mode.

The gamepad comes with Intel's Game Profile Editor and Profile Activator for creating and managing profiles for the gamepad. You can scroll through or print the list of default and customized profiles stored on the computer to find the one that works best for you. The same profile can be even assigned to multiple Intel Wireless Series gamepads connected to the same computer. The gamepad software also includes profiles for 50 popular games, and more can be downloaded from the Intel Profile Exchange Web site.

The gamepad is compatible with PCs only and requires the Intel Wireless Series Base Station (sold separately), Windows 98, 98SE, Me, a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and a USB port. Intel provides a one-year parts-and-labor warranty.
