Mac – How to record a macro on the fly with Black Widow Ultimate

keyboardmacrosrazer-keyboard

I believe that Black Widow Ultimate can record macros on the fly. However, they are recorded with a delay in the time you take to press the keystrokes by default. Is it, in fact, possible to do this without delay/on the fly?

Best Answer

I have the Black widow Ultimate and here's how you do recording on the fly

Function F9

type your key combination that you wish you record

Function F9 again to stop (a flashing indicator will show you it has stopped)

Then hit the key combo that you want it to be recorded on like M1

To get rid of the timing you have to manually delete the timings in the macro after it is recorded. A new macro will show up in your macro list that was not there before. That will be your newly recorded macro. There is no way of setting the automatic key recording to have no time recorded with it. You simply have to remove it manually.

You can however export the macro which will export in xml, insert it into a text editor like TextPad and change the entire macro's delays all at once doing a search and replace using RegEx in the Find/Replace dialog. Turn on the RegEx find feature and use

<Delay>[\d]*</Delay>

as your search feature. This will find all of the Delay references with numbers in them. In the replace part of the dialog put 

<Delay>0</Delay>

Now you can reimport the XML code with no delays. A little tedious however worth it for long macros.
