Where can I find how to configure the controller to play Maple Story?
Chris Pate | January 4th, 2011 at 13:18
Hi Ron,
There is a button in the bottom right corner of the MapleStory interface labeled “System”. If you click it, a menu pops up with an option called “Joypad Settings”. From there you can configure the gamepad to perform various actions in the game. It is my experience that it works best when the gamepad is set to DirectInput mode before the game is launched. You can do this by selecting “D” with the switch on the belly of the gamepad.

I bought a controller of the same model but i didnt get any maplestory codes, is there a way i can get it?
Chris Pate | January 4th, 2011 at 11:55
Hi Clarence,
There are still some gamepads in stores that don’t have the codes included with them. Please contact our Support team using the link at the top of the page and they will be able to help you.

so when is this special offer going to expire? im planning to get one.
Chris Pate | January 4th, 2011 at 13:27
Hi Anna,
There is no expiration date currently announced. Since we just launched the program, I would expect to see them in stores for a while yet.

hi i was just wondering if the controller in available in south Africa? Johannesburg more specifically
Chris Pate | January 7th, 2011 at 10:25
Hi Roni,
The F310 should be available for purchase in South Africa, though I don’t have information about what local retailers would have it. The MapleStory promotion is for US and Canadian gamers only, though.
-Chris
Roni | January 7th, 2011 at 12:08
oh OK thanks but I’m not sure if i get a friend in America to get it for me i am not sure it will have the code how can i know?
Chris Pate | January 13th, 2011 at 17:18
Hi Roni,
The promotion is for US and Canada only – the codes will only work for those servers. F310 Gamepads that include the gamepad chair and item drop codes are clearly marked with a MapleStory sticker on the front of the package.

Chris Pate | January 10th, 2011 at 10:02
Hi Jason,
This promotion is for the US and Canada only.

Hi Chris,
I live in Italy but i am playing Maple Global 5 years now.
I was planning in getting a logitech f310, i dont really care about the codes, but that it would work with MS even if i am from italy.
Thankyou
Chris Pate | January 13th, 2011 at 17:13
Hi Tony,
Since you are playing on Mapleglobal (aka MapleStory North America) it should be functional. You can check to see if gamepad support is enabled by clicking on “System” and looking for the option “Joypad settings”. If this option is available, the F310 will work.

If I purchase it from the official site will it definitely come with the codes?
Chris Pate | February 1st, 2011 at 08:42
Hi Danny,
All of the F310 gamepads we currently have in our warehouse have the stickers and codes on them. If, for some reason, you receive one that does not – you can contact our Support team for further assistance.

I bought the Logitec F310, but where do you find the code?
Chris Pate | February 1st, 2011 at 08:43
Hi Derek,
The codes will either be on the back side of the sticker on the front of the package, or printed on the user guide. If the F310 you purchased did not have a MapleStory sticker on it, you can contact Support for more assistance.

Heys Chris, Im from australia, and im actually wanting the chair in-game, Im currently playing maple story global, and im actaully going to buy a controller over the internet, so was i was just wondering, will we have an 100% chance of getting the code,after contacting customer service? Or do we have to have a controller which specifies that its for maplestory?
Thanks -Kelvin.
Chris Pate | February 25th, 2011 at 11:55
Hi Kelvin,
The F310 gamepads with MapleStory chair codes were only shipped to the USA and Canada, so you won’t find one at Dick Smith.
-Chris
Justin Liang | February 27th, 2011 at 18:30
Hey Chris,
Is the codes only on the F310 gamepads? Or could we get them on the wireless silver colored gamepad?
Chris Pate | March 31st, 2011 at 11:00
Hi Justin,
Only the F310 gamepads contain codes.
-Chris

Is the Maplestory promotional code still available for the f310 from the logitech official webiste?
Chris Pate | March 31st, 2011 at 11:04
Hi Kenny,
The promotion is still going – if you purchase an F310 gamepad from the Logitech website, it will include a promotional sticker and the gamepad chair/item drop codes.
