Clarification of previous question. I am actually interested in programming macro keys at home, then bringing to work. Are macros saved?

Yes. Macros are modified via the software (or use of the M1-3 and MR keys) and saved to the internal memory.

No, when you hit a macro button it runs only once. However you can set your macro to run a determinate amount of loops (1-255) everytime you hit that button.

No, it isn't. Being an accurate touch-typist won't save you either, as there are several function keys unique to this unit found "here and there" around the keyboard.

All buttons other than the Left Click may be programmed as any key or combination of Keys (Macros)

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 :/

Yes, buttons can be programmed through the LGS software. Macros can be made with customization timings like delayed key-presses if you'd like as well. However, to get full macro capabilities, you need to use profiles through the PC, NOT the in-mouse memory profiles.

Hi David, Yes it is possible since one can add macros (combination of keys) and functions to those programmable keys. You can look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237179 for further reference. Regards...

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.

Function keys = yes; F1..F12 = no. There is a row of keys above the number keys with various function icons. I don't think I've ever used them or thought much about them.

Yes it does. I never used the programming functionality but, as the description states, the keyboard can be programmed. At the very least the macro keys can be. If my memory serves me correctly there are a few customer reviews that mention the programming functionality.

It stores multiple profiles each with 5 different keying sets per profile. The D-pad as well as space and left alt "or those keys " are all used by your thumb, but as you already know any key can be any keyboard function or mouse function or macro

My son is a computer guru he tooknthe directions and both sets of keys and was back in less than 10 minutes...done.,work fine. Find a computer techie and ask him to do it!!!

Exactly what Jack said. I will say I haven't used the programmable keys for anything besides games, but can attest that they work great.

Hi, that is not necessary with this package, You will need 2 keys for programming, but after that you will retain both keys.

You can save it to either the cloud or to your pc. I recommend both. When I had to wipe my pc I easily logged back in to get all my macro's back the way they were in seconds. The d pad can be what ever you want it to be. it goes from 4 to 8 buttons which ever you want it to be.

Yep! You can program the G keys do do virtually anything you want, including relatively long snippets of text. I believe there's an upper limit but I don't know what it is.

Hi Allie, I haven't used that function bc you can touch the screen and it will pop up select or select all and then Copy...But I tried to do command + C and command + P and did not work. However I LOVE these keyboard! Luciana
