    Question with Microsoft Sidewinder x4 timed Macro repeats


    I currently am using the Sidewinder x4.

    The macro keys work with no problem on repeat. Indefinitely if I left it as that.

    I tried looking on the web but with no luck, my question is:


    If you put your macro on repeat, Is there any way you can time that repeat?

    For about 1hr instead of an indefinite loop.

    Say if macro is button1, wait3sec, button2, wait3sec, button3, wait3sec, (repeated)


    If any could provide advice would be helpful!

    Thanks

    :)

    Microsoft Sidewinder x4 Keyboard "Macro Key Not Assigned" / Stuck on Auto

    So ive been using my Microsoft Sidewinder x4 Keyboard for... well, years now.

    however, everytime i assign a macro to a key and go to use it, it keeps saying "Macro Key Not Assigned"

    Im 100% sure that there IS a macro assigned to it, even if its a simple text macro to type out some text "testABC123" for example.

    Ive noticed that the Auto Light is constantly on now unless i have the Mouse and Keyboard center open, then it turns off until i switch windows.

    Please help fix this as i use this for both gaming and work purposes and is one of the main reasons why i love this keyboard so much. ive bought 3 of them so far and this is the first time ive had problems with either of them!

    Im on Windows 10 64 bit.

    Thanks in advance for assistance.

    Question with Microsoft Sidewinder x4 timed Macro repeats

    Microsoft Sidewinder x4 keyboard macros not working on Flight Simulator X on Windows 10 x64

    Hello,

    I have a Sidewinder x4 keyboard that has been working without any problems on Windows 7 x64.

    Recently I upgraded to Windows 10 x64.

    The keyboard works fine apart from one thing.

    All S key macros do not work on FSX.

    On all other applications they work fine.

    This wasn't happening with Windows 7 x64.

    I reinstalled the latest drivers with no success.

    Anybody has any suggestions?
