How to create macros on your mouse steelseries 【step by step】 ⭐️

The SteelSeries software: SteelSeries Engine 3

The Danish brand is already on its third version of software, and if something works, you don't change it, you improve it. This tutorial has been done with the latest version, the SteelSeries Engine 3. Some of its indications may change for future consultations if the program receives an update, but in general terms the steps to follow should be the same.

In the case of mice, there is no room for recording the On the Fly macros. Here you need software yes or yes, so that when you have downloaded it you will receive a panel in which your brand mouse will be displayed. Keep in mind that there is a possibility that the model you have may not have software, so you should consult it on the Official Website.

The process of creating macros

Creating macros is easier than it sounds, although it may be a bit messy at first. That's why we are here, put your belt on!

Create macros on the mouse

Once we enter the configuration panel of our mouse, we find the calibration statistics (DPI, acceleration, deceleration, profiles, response time…) on the right and the function assignment by key on the left. Depending on your button you can have more buttons or others so that you have more or less quantity of them available to configure and assign macros.

A good detail is that you can have a set of macros equipped according to the active profile, so that you can have a specific one for various games or applications.

Within this main screen we are interested in the Launch button, right next to the Macro Editor. This will take us to a pop-up panel where we are told that we can create two types of macros: keystrokes or text macro.

The keystroke is the one of a lifetime, we assign a specific command (Ctrl + Alt + V) to a single button, for example P. Text macros assign a specific phrase to the press of a specific button (eg: “ this is a Professional Review tutorial ”assigned to the F1 key).

Choosing the type of macro desired, we give New and press Start, which will start our macro recording until we press Stop. SteelSeries Engine will show us on the panel both the buttons pressed and their pressing time. This last parameter can be modified in the nut that we can see next to the Delete button.

There are three modes: How Recorded, Fixed Delay (15ms) and No Delay. Generally we usually recommend No delay or Fixed Delay, but it is something that also depends on the user.

Assign created macros

Now that we have created our macros we must assign them to a specific button. For this we will return to the main menu and select the desired button. This will display a new panel in which the Mouse Buttons appear by default, but we must select in the Macros tab.

In Macros, the actions created to assign to each button will be shown and will be visible with the name that we have assigned to them in the main menu.

Final words on creating macros in SteelSeries mice

As you can see the question of making macros on a SteelSeries mouse is quite easy from the inside. It is also true that the software makes it easy for us to move around the interface. Our recommendation is that you try to keep it updated whenever possible.

Remember also lastly that you can create and save macros in each of the profiles that your mouse supports. The number of them may vary from one model to another, so you must take it into account.
