How to install macros on any mouse

A computer mouse is an integral part of personal computer equipment. Many also can not do without it, and while working with a laptop. It is actively used both in usual work in different programs, and in computer games. There are many models of mice, among the gaming devices and there are many buttons. Among gamers, the use of macros on the mouse is popular.

What is a macro

A macro in the computer field is a combination of operations performed by the system after pressing a single key. This is used for the convenience of handling a computer mouse - the number of necessary presses is reduced and, accordingly, the wear rate of the device. During an intense game, when every second is expensive, they help the player out - instead of complex combinations of clicks, he presses a single button and gets the result. True, not all macros are allowed - some player associations equate the use of macros with cheating.

This software will allow the user to independently install and configure everything on his mouse, while all others use standard commands set by the developers without the possibility of editing. The presence of internal memory will also positively affect the attempt to customize the mouse. Of course, you can configure a mouse that does not support the Oscar Editor.
