Macros are sequences of events (such as keystrokes, mouse clicks, and delays) that can be played back to help with repetitive tasks. They can also be used to replay sequences that are long or difficult to run. You can assign a macro recorded in Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center to a key or a mouse button. You can also use the Macro Repeat feature to play and repeat a macro continuously, and then stop it at any time.
Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center macros use a .mhm extension and are saved as individual files in your default DocumentsMicrosoft HardwareMacros subfolder. Macros recorded in keyboard and mouse are interchangeable. You can run them or edit them from either program.
To record a macro, first click on the MR Button. Then click the number associated with the button you would like the macro to be assigned. Then proceed to use the keyboard to record your sequence of key presses. Example: In this sequence, I created a macro on button 11 of my mouse to type out “Hello World” with sequential key presses. Likewise, if you include a command in a macro to switch to a different application, Macro Repeat does not take effect, and the macro runs once only. If you press a key assigned to start a repeating macro and then press a key assigned to a different macro, the repeating macro stops.
Caution: Do not save passwords or other sensitive information in macros.
