macro key is meant for changing the profile of the mouse. Different profile, different mouse setting(dpi, sensitivity, polling rate, scroll rate)
Actually...no..let me just explain... a macro is where you set a key to perform a specific task/function..for example, say in windows media player, I would want to bind my forward and back song selections on the side buttons of my mouse...hence this is called macro-ing...I understand what you meant from your msg...but that's not macro... thats a profile switcher or to put it simple, a switch/button to change between different profiles that you have set on the software.
For example:
profile 1: 400dpi, forward back for side buttons
profile 2: 1000dpi, next weapon and grenade for side buttons
etc...
i'm assuming you have a gaming mouse coz of your usage of terms, by any chance you have a razer product? If so you would noticed that in your razer mouse's driver/software would have profiles which you can assign adjustments to your liking...correct me if i'm wrong, you would also have the option to bind a button on your mouse to be as a profile switcher right?...then i hope that clears it up with the macro keys' definition.
would anyone else care to elaborate?..thx
