Makroklahvid

Makroklahvid, or macro keys, are programmable keyboard keys designed to trigger a predefined sequence of inputs with a single press. They are commonly found on gaming keyboards and on dedicated macro keyboards, and are labeled or mapped to specific functions such as M1–M6 or G1–G12 on some devices.

Functionality: Macros can be stored in the keyboard’s onboard memory or defined through computer software. Onboard macros work without installed software, while software-based macros offer more complex sequences, delays, and conditional steps. Widely used software includes Corsair iCUE, Razer Synapse, and Logitech G Hub, which allow users to create, edit, and assign macros to individual keys or key combinations.

Applications: In gaming, macro keys streamline combat rotations or rapid weapon switching. In productivity, they automate repetitive tasks, data entry, or multi-step workflows across applications. They are also used in creative work, such as batch-processing actions in media editing software.

Considerations: Not all games or online platforms allow macro use; some anti-cheat systems may detect or restrict macros. Compatibility depends on operating system and drivers, and macro software may require frequent updates. The usefulness of macro keys depends on the user’s workflow, as well as the hardware and software ecosystem surrounding the keyboard. Some setups offer profiles and onboard memory to keep macros portable between machines.
