How to Install a Logitech Chillstream Gamepad (9 Steps)
By Mike Venture
Using a mouse and keyboard is great for certain game types, but third-person action/stealth games, such as the "Assassin's Creed" or "Arkham Asylum" series, lend themselves better to a controller or gamepad. Logitech's Chillstream gamepad is modeled after the standard Xbox 360 controller, with the addition of a unique in-grip fan feature that's intended to cool sweaty hands.
Step 1
Connect the Logitech Chillstream's USB cable to a USB port on your computer. You should see several lights illuminate on the face of the Chillstream.
Step 2
Verify that the built-in fans work by cycling through the settings (on, off, intermittent) using the button below the left thumbstick.
Step 3
Click Start on your computer.
Step 4
Type "game controllers" in the search box and press "Enter."
Step 5
Double-click the Chillstream's entry in the list under "Controllers."
Step 6
Click the "Settings" tab, then "Calibrate."
Step 7
Click "Next."
Step 8
Follow the instructions on-screen to calibrate the Chillstream for use.
Step 9
Click "Finish" to save the calibration.
Tips
- Not all games support gamepads.
- To use the Chillstream with a Windows XP computer, you'll need to download and install Microsoft's Xinput drivers prior to connecting the gamepad.
