you can make any keyboard shortcut you can imagine!

spamming a key during a game, autotype your password, autotype your email, have it switch windows or run a program, anything!

Use it for MMO's or RPG's or even FPS games. Also just a shortcut to open frequently used programs.

how do i do so because starting programs and spamming keys and typing passwords is a makor plus, how do i do that

 

can i also have a password spelt in macros?

[thekeemo]

no you cant use them in passwords unless you assign a character to them

I suggest profiles for things like displays audio and random keyboard shortcuts

you use a key binding software.

You just use the software to record a macro and type your password

it will record the key presses and now whenever you press that macro key it will instantly type your password

make sure you have the delay set to 0ms though so that it does it fast

no mine is rgb does that make it different

I think it should still work with that software, but before you install it do you already have this?

If you dont, install this first and see if it gives you the option to record macros.

 

If it doesnt, then try installing the one I showed you earlier
