How do you guys assign Macros (toggle/hold) on this? I have a RAZER Orbweaver and the Macro can be toggled.

The macro assigning is done thru software that comes with the unit, or downloaded off saiteks site

Didnt recieve any software with the mouse and could not locate any. Now, having said that, its fairly easy to set the function for each of the buttons. Simply press the key on the keyboard you want a button to use while holding down the button on the mouse.....wait a minute...I think its the other way round...hold down the keyboard then select the mouse button...hmmm.....cant remember now for sure...<laugh> Doesnt matter, just try either way and whichever one will work.

Well, you've taught me something I didn't know about this press-to-select feature. I don't know if this model has that feature. When I have a bit of time (hopefully this weekend), I'll look into it. You might want to Google the question with the model number to see if anything comes up. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Still it's a fabulous little keyboard!

This mouse is awesome at Excel. Check out www.excelmouse.com to see how this mouse can best be used(cool diagrams.)You can use the myWorkbook (part of excel) to create background macros which can be bound to mouse buttons.Also, just assigning common keys to buttons saves SO much time. For example, having the enter key bound to the click down of the scroll wheel lets me speed through menu options because my finger is always on the enter key.If you want to see how I set up mine, check out the website.

Yep, I play a few MMO's and have been able to macro spells and actions to the mouse wheel and side buttons. Should work well for weapon switching and reloads.

Yes, you have to download synapse. But there you can make every button a macro if you want

The software needs to be downloaded from corsair.com, and it allows you to record macros easily. It may get a little complicated remembering what you have set up where, though. There is a slider key on the back that allows you to have 4 profiles of data. Each profile has 3 memory banks for macros and backlight settings. So there's a possibility to have 3 * 4 * 18 different macros set up. I don't believe this would be fast enough for switching in the middle of a hectic game, but it would definitely be manageable when switching between games or when waiting in lobbies.

I have not used the included software much, but you can use the extra buttons for alot of things in individual applications, like forward/back browser keys, media controls, etc.I will check a bit later this morning to see if the software it came with offered macro options, but even if not, I would see no reason an alternate program could not use the buttons in the manner you see fit.Give me a bit, and I will research this more fully. It is a great cheapy mouse IMO

I'm sure there is a way, in the software that comes with the mouse you can macro any button to do anything. I haven't really messed with it yet though

I don't understand the question about assigning key functions to the mouse. If you mean keyboard key functions, I don't know as I have no need to do this. If you mean can you assign different functions that the mouse can do, yes. This is done after you have installed the program for the mouse through the device and printers settings. Right click on the mouse icon and then click on the mouse settings. Now you can tell your mouse how to act.

I programmed mine to Alt + Tab. It allows me to switch between programs very easily. I feel severely restricted without it on other computers, now.

Yes, you can completely re-map all keys to key bindings and macros, 5 or 6 profiles too. The other nice thing about this mouse is metal construction. If your pads ever wear out for some un-godly reasy. the bottom is smooth as well and will keep mapping

Windows will only recognize 5 buttons. The others you'd have to program in the mouse software to duplicate keyboard keys, like F1 to F12. This is true for all the mmo mice with lots of buttons. In addition, you can program macros to each button. For example, you could program one of the mmo7 buttons to simultaneously click on the target and activate a keypress like F12 (then bind "grenade throw" to F12 in the game), and voila, you have a mouse-over-target single-click grenade throw. Again, you can do the same thing with most high-end gaming/mmo mice.

It can be remapped, but you can't map it to be a continuous hold. It can be mapped to a one-off macro of keystrokes in the driver. Could be used as a toggle for voice activation or microphone mute, but not the traditional PTT.

This can be accomplished with programs such as Xpadder, AutoHotKey, or EventGhost. You can do this with most any controller, though.

Yup, the included software supports keys with modifiers. However, I don't believe complicated macros are possible though.

The macros are not fully compatible with every program, So i do not know. Also keep in mind that its a gaming keyboard so its made mainly for gamers. I dont think the macros display on the LED screen on the keyboard, but they do have a separate program that lets you see all your macros that you program. Honestly though, this keyboard isn't as fantastic as it sounds, the youtube app doesn't even let you browse for certain videos :/
