How to Use Macros on the GALLEON 100 SD

Atualizada

The CORSAIR GALLEON 100 SD features multiple methods of automating and streamlining controls for both gaming and productivity. One of the more subtle, but still powerful, options is recording Macros both in Web Hub software and on the keyboard itself.

What is a Macro?

A Macro is a series of inputs that are triggered by a single keypress, most commonly used to automate repetitive tasks that will be performed many times. They also allow for precise timing of inputs which can help with automating repetitive actions in-game.

Whether you are triggering scene changes while streaming, manipulating spreadsheet data, or automating combos, GALLEON 100 SD has you covered.

Recording Macros on The GALLEON 100 SD

Macros can be recorded on the fly, without the need for additional software interactions. Simply enter Macro Recording Mode, input the desired key combination, then exit Macro Recording Mode.

  1. Hold Fn + M keys for 2 seconds to enter macro recording mode
  2. Press the series of keys that you want to trigger when the macro is run (note that the timing between key presses will be preserved)
  3. Press Fn + M keys momentarily to stop recording macro
  4. Press the key that will trigger the macro (this can be a single key, Fn + key combo, or Modifier (Ctrl/Shift/Alt/AltGr) + key combo)

If you wish to remove a previously stored macro, skip Step 2 above; entering macro mode and assigning a blank macro to a key will remove any macro that had been assigned to that key prior.

Recording Macros in Software

For a bit more control over the minutiae of macro recording, you can instead record and modify macros in Web Hub software.
