  1. Sidewinder X4 play/pause question


    I have a Sidewinder X4 keyboard and I'm very happy with it. I use the play/pause button all the time while working and listening to music.


    The only issue I'm having is when I use this button I get a small rectangle window that pops up in the upper left corner of my screen (Using Windows 10 btw). The problem I'm having with this is the popup a lot of times is located right over some of the buttons that I need to use on the programs I'm using, and I have to wait for it to fade away before I can continue working. If I mouse over that area before it's completely faded it will come back into focus and I will have to start the wait over again. It doesn't take a long time to fade, only like 10 seconds or so, but it adds up to a lot of lost production time during a 14 hour work day if there's a lot of interruptions.


    My question is this: Is there a way to move where this window is located or change how long it's displayed? Or even disable it completely as I can tell if my music is paused or playing using my ears, don't need a visual reminder too Sidewinder X4 play/pause question :)


    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    :)

  4. Sidewinder X4 play/pause question

    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
